    It can take up to 10-15 days to see the update on the BLS tracker. I am in the same boat. Application resubmitted 9th March. Yes 2 months from now more or less

    No. They are sending people back now because they want to make money via postal fees.

    Brother/Sister, I can only say that I understand how you feel as I am also a victim of the same. If you go back 3-4 pages or click on my username and read my posts you will understand what I am talking about.

    You are the lucky guys in BC. I wonder why the rules are different here, perhaps another way for BLS to make money with postal labels.

    Question for those who resubmitted applications to BLS - How long did it take for the tracker to get updated with the new application details?

    Congrats and good luck. I am assuming no tracking info was shared with you and purolator just showed up with the package?

    BLS never seems to disappoint with contradictory information. So you know how when you call the call centre they say for tracking number and application related issues dont call instead send an inquiry with the web form and they will respond within 24 hours? Well I sent them one and this was...

    I am undergoing this nightmarish process right now. No need to submit original Canadian passport. Make photocopies of the photo page and the observation page, there is a separate page for this on your Canadian Passport and any page with stamps. I sent all pages of the copies of my Indian...

    I believe a digital copy is required to be uploaded for OCI, I have yet to go through this process.

    For postal applications I believe you can take the photo yourself. As @Hot2Cold recommended get a digital copy of the photo or scan the physical photo per the OCI resolution. I paid $3 for this service and got it done via a online provider called Passport-photo.online UPS charges $17 for a...

    Fun Fact: I was speaking to the Purolator people and they said BLS apparently is the worse client they have (in terms of customer service, not profit) Apparently they receive 100s of returned applications almost on a daily basis and people are always complaining about BLS and the fees and the...

    Update: I never got a tracking # from BLS. I come home this afternoon and saw a missed delivery notification on the door with instructions to pick the package up from a Purolator quick stop location in Scarborough. Collected the documents successfully, Took my new application and label with...

    Just read the nightmarish experiences people have been having with BLS in this thread and you will get it.

    I literally had a sleepless night because of BLS. Infuriated that they charged so much for the labels and knowing where my passport and bank draft is, still no tracking number from them after writing to them and calling them. I work from the office so definitely nobody at home to collect the...

    Sorry to hear that. I am not even able to get a tracking # for them for the return package that I paid $88 for!! I wouldn't keep my hopes high for a refund! Better contact your credit card company and file a dispute for refund, 99% of the time they will refund and will go after BLS for a refund.
