Don't tell me you saw passport and oci appointments for brampton for Feb also..
because I have been checking so many times since morning and didn't see them even when saw available for Jan..

The visa appointments were available for Feb for brampton from many days and still available so no surprise in visa appointments.

I used the below format many of my friends have used this in the past.


To,

Consulate General of India,
365 Bloor St E #700, Toronto, ON M4W 3L4
Dear Sir/Ma’am,

Re: Self Declaration regarding not including Canadian passport with surrender certificate application.


I ____________________________ declare that I have not yet applied for a Canadian passport since becoming a citizen on ______________________. Due to this situation, I am unable to submit the same with Surrender Certificate application for Indian Passport.

Yours truly



Good Luck

@Doom__V did you get your surrender certificate without Canadian Passport?

Hi Guys.. Mine is visible finally today after many days today and it is showing status on bls tracking website..
but it is showing application date and applicant date of birth both as today's date

Applicant Date of Birth

2024-01-19

Is it normal? or any thing to worry to call them?

what does it show for you?

Mine is showing same like you. Date of birth is similar to application received date.

 

[SAMSAG6116]

That would be logical cause they wasted 60$ of purolator costs for 7$ extra on the demand draft had. But they have to be picky lol.

Did they sent you the email for rejection or you have tracked the status?

It shows up as status but I called them today and they still havent genereted a purolator label to send it back. They are very slow.

Status on passport Seva changed to "Passport application along with fee details have been received. The same is under processing at the Embassy/Consulate."

Application was reached to BLS Brampton via Purolator on 4th of Jan.

Update:
Surrender certificate has been printed.

Update:
Surrender certificate has been printed.

Can you give timeline.. once it was recieved by bls..means first status appeared on bls tracking.. after that how many days did it take to change to next status that processing at consulate?

 

[desmat]

Mine is still in received status since 19th..
Not sure how many days they take to verify application and to send to consulate

I’m having trouble with tracking my application. I received an acknowledgment email from BLS on jan 18th but Bls website is showing my old application details which I did in 2021. Is this common?

See carefully if you are selecting right options..

For my kids oci if I by mistake select postal instead of walkin then I get somebody else application with our applicaiton no..

But for surrender you need to choose option as postal and passport and enter passport no.
