Hello All - I am Indian citizen, PR in Canada and commute to US on H1B. My Indian passport is expiring soon. It takes almost 5-6 weeks to get the passport renewed through BLS. Is anyone aware of any faster way to get the Indian passport renewed since I will not be able to commute to US while my passport is sent for renewal.
Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

Yes, you can apply tatkal and it will done in less than 10 days
may I ask, when did you started commuting and are you a daily commuter?
Thank You! Any idea what’s the process to apply tatkal? Does it need to be done thru’ BLS only or I can directly go to consulate?
I started commuting in 2021 and I am a daily commuter.
Thank you
you can do it online via vfs global. There you will have an option for tatkal. No need to visit Embassy. Apply to your nearest

1) Yes. But when you file the tax in Canada, you will get credit on tax already paid in US. So at the end you only pay the difference to CRA
2) No
3) As long as you fullfill your physcial days inside Canada, you are fine.
I see a lot of folks commute from Windsor and not from Niagara. is there a reason why people prefer Windsor? Is it because the commute is shorter or is Windsor a better place in general?
We are also exploring if commuting will work for us, so exploring the option between Windsor, Niagara or anywhere else? Employer OK to work from anywhere in US, just need an ammendment.

that's usually because Detroit is a big city compared to Buffalo and many have their employers based out of there. so you will see more people commuting to Detroit. remote work is becoming a thing now, so people have started exploring other borders too. if you are filing an amendment for a border city, it should not matter where. You can pick Buffalo or Detroit.
Any pointers on which of the two cities has better schools, or in general better for families?
