Hi Guys,

Has anyone received their Surrender certificate this year from Ottawa branch.
My application date was 08 Feb 2024. Over 7 weeks now. Still Processing at High Commission.

I would like to know the turn around time for this.

Ok, maybe you can reach out to HCI via Suvidha like I mentioned in this post to Sonya:

We went to BLS Brampton today for passport surrender certificate, the process was overall smooth since we took an appointment.

Does anyone know how crowded BLS Brampton gets during pick-up time? The agents mentioned there are usually 70 people in the line and they give out tokens for pick-up to only 25 people. Was it a tactic for us to pay for courier ($60 pp)?

Anyone has recent experience how bad it is during document pick-up (3-4 pm)?

@forw.jane Thanks a lot. I did know that I can check in BLS site. It's says ready for collection. That's why few days ago I asked is there any other place to check the status other than the embassy site and I didn't get a correct reply. Thanks to you. I am going today to pic the SC.

Nice to find your thread. By today its been 8weeks on surrender application and no updates. How many days did it take exactly for you?? Even we have applied under Ottawa(MTL) region. Opted for pickup as well.
