For in-person Canada application - Passport they check and return it back
For postal Canada application - Self attested copy of Passport is to be sent, not the original one.

I submitted in Brampton BLS center walkin. Application submission date is 31st December and BLS site is showing processing at consulate from jan first week.
Oh I see the status now in OCIservices.gov. It is under process. Date of acknowledgement is 30th Jan when can I expect to receive confirmation as per current timeline ? Another 10 days may be ? My travel plans are on hold because of this

FYI.

There is no link to schedule pick-up and drop-off the application. I had to call BLS customer care and they scheduled it. Cost is$62 for Brampton.

Hope that helps anyone looking for postal app.
When did you call and scheduled?

This might be many days earlier before they started charging $84.
