You can check for walk in appointments regarding passport applications (have to select passport even for surrender certification)

I personally went in after booking an appointment on December 29th at the Toronto location last year. I was 10 min earlier than my appointment time and i still had to wait for 4 hours for my turn and in the end i was sent back to correct a “mistake” in their eyes.

So then i decided to mail in the application on Jan 2nd which was delivered to them on Jan 3rd

Yea even i was shocked. I went in talked to security and showed him my appt print out. He checked my name on the “list” and it was there. Then he gave me a slip with an alphabet and a number and then i grabbed a seat and kept waiting.
i had people sitting beside me with the similar situation. Maybe its a Toronto location thing? Or maybe its general busy now? Idk but it happened to me

Got this update just now..

Under Process
In Transit from BLS Centre to Consulat General

So Can we assume, they validated application and all look good to them and that's why they are sending to consulate?
