    Can someone confirm if any original document (passport/birth certificate) should be included in postal applications? Checklist indicates copies only but BLS/CGI website says original docs will be returned. Ugh so frustrating.

    Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

    Hi anyone has/had this issue: Married but don't have Marriage Certificate? BLS has asked me to send it but I don't have it! I couldn't lie on my application and say I am single. Since I selected "Married", spouse details became mandatory fields. Ugh.

    I actually did think that it could raise a red flag. But my parents’ application is yet to be approved/denied. So, I wasn’t sure if that’d impact my sister’s application. No, she doesn’t live with them. Any suggestions on how I can handle this?
