- Thread starter amusingfirefly
- Start date
Hi, I have submitted my application at BLS Montreal for Ottawa jurisdiction, but I have received no update. It's been more than a month and the status is processing and receiving the fees. Could you please update me with your status and timeline, It would be of great help. Thank you so much.
Hello. Please look at the points below to understand my scenario. Hope you all will share views.
1) I came to Canada as a PR in 2018.
2) The house which was my residential address and all my id documents (my passport, driving licence etc) are based on that address. Unfortunately the house was sold by my parents after I moved to Canada.
3) I have applied for Canadian citizenship in September 2021. Already gave test and still waiting for further steps to be completed.
4) My Indian passport is expiring in August 2023.
My question is should I apply for renewal rightaway or just wait ? My problem is all my Indian IDs are based on the address which is no longer accessible.
Please share your views.
Regards

My passport expires in Dec 2023 so I'm planning to renew it soon because I have to travel next year. Has anyone submitted an application for the renewal to BLS Toronto recently? How long is it taking? I've heard about the labor shortage and backlog and that it is taking 6 months to renew the passport..
Hi! Do you know how can I raise an inquiry with the High Commission in Ottawa regarding my passport? it has been in police verification for over a month
Received the new pp today below is the timeline.
Nov 12: Submitted - Walkin
Nov 14: Processing at Consulate General
Dec 7 : Print initiated on passportsewa
Dec 9 : Printed
Dec 12: Dispatched vis Purolater on bls-website
Dec 13 : Delivered
Also, If anyone with experience can andwer my question below.
The passports came stapled together, old stapled to back cover of new passport. Are we supposed use the passport like this going forward? or it is ok to remove the staple and use the new passport standalone. I wish to carry just the new one but my concern is if the staple marks on new passport's back page will have any issues. Looking forward to inputs from anyone who has renewed the passports and used them like this. Appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

Hi! Did you do a walk-in? or take an appointment? how was your experience with bls montreal?
Received fees and processing means that no action has been initiated. Wait until file number is generated.
