Hi, need some help on this question pls ...
My wife and my status shows "Complete" for everything except for "Citizenship Ceremony", however, my daughter's (minor) status shows "Complete" only for "Prohibitions" ;LS, PP, BV show "In Progress".

Question:
1. For kids, do all the statuses show "Complete" before the oath ceremony info comes to all of us?
2. How long does it usually take them to process kids application considering their scrutiny should be less?

Thank you

For kids it completes when parents application completes.
Thank you for the reply.
So, our applications show "Complete" but my kid's is "In Progress". Does it take a day or two to update? DO all of their statuses also show up as "Complete" or does it remain as "In Progress" ??

@2017CanadaHo! while surrendering Indian passport can we opt to collect surrender certificate in-person OR does that have to be BLS's Drop Off service ?
you can opt for in-person collection if you are headstrong :) so you can cut thru BLS' non-stop push to get you to agree on courier. just note that all applicants need to be present in-person to collect the same, and that there's a short window in late afternoon to do that (with naturally, long line-ups). and if there's a child, that child needn't be physically present, but BOTH parents need to be.

quick question!
when applying for passport do they use the photos provided in application or do they take new photos on the spot?
