That's Strange.
But you got Purolator delivery tracking code earlier...Right...Is it showing in-transit ?
Hi, is there any workaround for this? I am in urgent need of a passport and cannot wait for 4-6 weeks for normal processing. The problem is if I selected marital status as 'Married' then the Spouse name becomes a required field. My application was returned saying Spouse name cannot be added under Tatkaal application!! I just want my passport ASAP but if I give my correct marital status I cannot get the passport under Tatkaal!!
Can you guys suggest any workaround?? Is there a way that you enter marital status as 'Married' but not opt to add spouse name??
There's no 'workaround' per se. You'll have to apply in the normal category in that case. The only other option would be going back to India and apply in Tatkal mode (which is allowed in case of adding spouse name) over there, in which case you'll get your passport within 3 working days.
Hi guys.. @vimal3134 @Takita i was going through your comments. I have applied for passport in Brampton office by walkin on August 30 and my status changed to print initiated on this Friday. How long it takes for the passport to be printed and get delivered after the print has been initiated.
Status changed to ‘In transit from High Commission to BLS Office’ today on BLS website.
Wow, for BLS Ottawa applicants looks like it takes 2 to 3 weeks to receive the passport once it is printed and dispatched from India.
Yes, it’s very strange. I think someone posted in this thread previously that the HCI itself says it takes 2 - 3 weeks for dispatch. I think they keep the passports for a few days quarantine i guess.
