It's actually Vancouver BLS.
I applied walkin on Sept 29th (Vancouver Jurisdiction), 2 days back status got updated to Passport printed. It is not yet shipped to Vancouver mission though.

41 days past and still another couple of days to go for receiving the passport.

Current trend is around 40-45 days for Vancouver mission passport renewals.

Application processed since September 16 at HCI Ottawa.. postal Ottawa application
and now its stuck at HCI even after they received the passport back after print on November 1.

Latest status at Portal 6 : "Your passport has been printed and being forwarded to Embassy/Consulate. The Embassy/Consulate will contact you once they receive the passport for dispatch."

any idea if anyone have why taking this long...
Hey I have a very similar situation. I am seeing the same message since Oct 25. No idea what is going on. Please let me know if you hear from them.

Hello all, just wanted to know how much time should I expect my passport to be delivered to me if the status has changed to 'Printing Initiated' on Inspect and the Embassy Status? The status changed to Printing Initiated on November 8th.

Thanks so much!

HEY, when did you apply and can you share all the status you received on it through inspect? For me its PV initiated from 28 oct but even after PV was done last to last week, nothing changed

@Shehjad I am still waiting for my passport. It was delivered to HCI Ottawa on November 1st. Any updates on yours?
Same here. It should have been delivered to HCI Ottawa around end of Oct. But, it seems they have not yet sent it to the BLS centre? Did you hear anything after? Have you tried reaching out to them?

I went to HCI Ottawa today, and they informed me that there is a delay due to the "current state of the embassy." According to the gentleman in the security office, the ongoing issues in India-Canada relations are affecting all embassy services. Once HCI Ottawa receives the passport, they should send it to BLS within 4-5 days max, but right now it's taking much longer than that (no exact number of days given). I ended up going to BLS and asked them to email HCI on my behalf. Let's see if this bears any fruit. Let me know if any updates on your end please.

Thanks for the update. I called BLS, and they told me to wait until the end of 8 weeks (their standard TAT). My 8 weeks will be done around the end of this month. I am hoping that they will be able to ship it before that. Lets hope their respond to the email BLS sent on your behalf. Please keep me posted.
