India PCC from Toronto

[ahanan]

Hi , Does anyone has any experiece with BLS Toronto forPCC , is walking allowed ? if yes , how much time it takes ?

Hi Yes the Walk-in is available but you may have to spend the entire day there in waiting and you need to be atleast by 7 am so that when they open at 8am there's a chance that you will get your turn much later in the day

Applied for PCC on 1st August 2023... within 2 weeks the process of checking at India was over and now... My PCC tracking update on 'Passport Seva at Indian Embassies and Consulates' shows "Police Verification Report is clear. PCC is available for issuance" since 14th August'23... its going to be more than 10 working days... Not sure what to do now to make Consulate authorities to give a print and send it to BLS... Any experience sharing during this time line will be much appreciated

Hi, everywhere the processing timeline is between 1 - 2 months. Cases vary based on your local police station processes.
These only differences between a walk-in & postal application,

1. Walk-In: You'd wait for several hours in line before getting inside & submit your file to BLS. After your application is submitted BLS would update your application status & send the files to Consulate in Ottawa by next day.
2. Postal Applications: Everything happens Door to Door. You don't have to wait in lines & you receive the PCC back at your house.
3. However, walk-in or in-person applications are 3-5 days faster than Postal because BLS takes some days to process the postal applications within their local centres. Then they'd send it to Consulate at Ottawa for further processing.

In any case, timeline would be around 1 - 2 months there are no escalation option to process it faster.

This status has many meanings,

1. Your local police station has updated the application from their end.
2. The SP Office would process the applications in bulk & pass-on the cleared PCCs to Embassy. (usually, happens between 2 - 3 weeks)
3. Embassy would reach out to Consulate's and update the status to "PCC is ready to print".

Visit Indian Consulate on a Wednesday and request for printed copy. They might issue it. They will ask for due date of submission.

Hi Ahmedx, will wait for the 4 weeks to complete since the date of submission and then visit the CGI... Do we have to take a prior appointment

I do not think that you need an appointment. On Wednesday's they have open house, you can visit then.
