    That's strange. If you check link as of today, they (should) charge $60 for out-of-province application whereas for within Province its $40, not sure if it includes anything "value-added" services or stuff: vas_canada.pdf (blsindia-canada.com)

    Indian passport surrender

    Yes, it happened to me too. Soon, you'll see the status changed from old to new in a few days once they acknowledge the same and send it to CGI, Toronto. I just happen to call them. It took two weeks to update online on BLS Tracker after I sent documents.

    our experience, they did check application form vs appointment letter before giving a sticky note as token at Mississauga!

    Indian passport surrender

    Its just a fact we'd need to deal with for some time unless both governments improve the relations AND BLS also start making some profits - which they are already via asking folks to take couriers (postal).
