Your best bet is Tatkal.. In any case, you send your passport on the day of application submission to BLS. Once you submit the original, you won't get it back until completion. Normal processing can go up to 2 months which leaves you with no passport in your hand

Yeah thats what I am inclining towards too. Thanks for your response

Hi,

Can you please share a complete list of documents we need to send (postal) for renewal? I am specially confused regarding what originals they need. Thanks.

They only need passport that is original. Remaining all are self attested copies and it varies from person to person .
Please check BLS canada checklist document .

For my application , My marital status and address changed from current passport.

So I included
Passport application form with photo -Signed
BLS Checklist-Signed (you will get this from BLS site)
Original passport
Passport copy- self attested
COPR- If you are permanent resident-(Copy-Self attested)
PR card copy-self attested
Drivers license- Canadian address(Copy-self attested)
Personal particulars form - Signed with photo
Annexure E-Signed
Also included aadhar for Indian address (may not be needed)
Marriage certificate(copy-self attested)

Hello, I sent my documents on Feb 22, 2022 and doc's were delivered on Feb 24th but on BLS tracking application date shows March 1st. However, I still didn't get my cat number. It's almost a month. Anyone else in this situation. What should I do? How do I contact them?
BLS status- processing at consulate
Portal 3 passport status- passport application with fee has been received and currently processing at embassy.
No update after that. I tried inspect element but no update yet other than shown above.

Hello everyone, since my status was little weird if I compare for everyone else. just letting know everyone what i did further :

as status shows they stopped the processing. So my brother contacted local police station . they said my PV request didnt reach in local police station.
then he went to SP office who take care about PP related stuff. He has been told that since local police station info was missing hence it returned back.

Now I contacted BLS and CGI toronto and told them i want to withdraw my application due to missing info in application . got reply said , yes PV got stopped due to missing info .

surprise, surprise : my PP print has been initiated .

you probably need to explain to IRCC that your passport is gone for renewal. I was hoping to get the same request for all pages of PP by IRCC as my Citizenship app is running parallel to this. Already made the copies in advance so as to avoid being in the same situation.

if you already have the color copies of your passport with you ( including blank pages and stamps + translation of stamps which is not in english or french ) , they would have mentioned an address where you have to email it.

Edit : Important pages ? like Bio pages you mean ?
