Same with us as well. Sent the surrender application end of August at Montreal office, still stuck at processing..Looks like they have stopped the service
Indian passport surrender
- Thread starter rai786
- Start date
Considering we are still citizens until they give us the certificate, it seems weird they would stop processing them.
Hello,
I am trying to surrender Indian passport to BLS Surrey via postal process. If you would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions that I have.
1) Are we allowed to post the application through any other courier service or it has to be Purolator?
2) When printing label using this link (https://www.blsindia-canada.com/vancouver-jurisdiction/fedexlabel.php) it asks for a transaction number. Is that transaction number generated once we make payment with the Pick up and Drop off service(https://www.blsindia-canada.com/postalbls/pickup-and-drop.php)?
Thanks in advance.

Applied at Ottawa BLS. Its been 4 weeks but still shows as processing at High commission.
If you take the total processing time of 12 weeks(4 for surrender and 8 for OCI) it wont work for your travel dates but if they quickly process it like 3 weeks for surrender and 6 weeks for OCI you will be able to make it. Pre ban you would have easily made it but now things are slowed down so keep an eye on the thread to guess the timeline. No one can give you a definite answer.
This help. When i teach applications for surrender passport. I put indian passport details? Still shows can’t find application.
Thank you
Applied mid of august. BLS Montreal walk-in.
Status -- Surrender Certificate Under Review.
I don't know the steps, but does it mean any progress?
