You need to find out where your passport is. Call BLS, they are answering quick 289-498-1320, you can email bls as well cccanada@blsinternational.net, provide your passport number and Application number. If they say it's with the consulate, then call the consulate at 416-960-0751, you can email them as well cons.toronto@mea.gov.in, they will respond too. They do have open house every Wednesday between 3-4pm. You do have to run around a bit between the 2 but will get your passport.

You need to escalate this or go to the BLS office. When my daughter's status did not change, means there has been a major mistake on the application....they will return everything without processing. So if you have saved your application, check to see if there is any mistake. If document is missing, they will email and ask you to send it via email. But if there is a mistake in the application, then they won't process anything, they will reject and return it back but they are backlogged so it could take 2 weeks for them to return. I suggest you fill out the withdrawal form that you can find on bls site, fill it and send it to them.....or go to bls office between 3-4pm for enquiry and they will also help you expedite the withdrawal.

how to withdraw Entry Visa application from BLS Vancouver? I have received EVISA.

There is a form you can find on bls website, fill and email it to them, but you may lose your application money "if" it's sent to the consulate. And if it is at the consulate, then the withdrawal form has to go there......you will need to call and find out where your passport is.

Yes, I got the passport back today. BLS expedited it because I went there on Tuesday Nov 21 and signed the withdrawal form instead of waiting for them to send back. Next day evisa opened, so I just applied for an evisa for my daughter. I did get the draft back too.
However, my 2nd daughter's passport got stuck at the consulate, so I had to run there on Wednesday Nov 22 to see what the hold up was, they told me their father's consent for "number of days" travel was missing (because we are divorced), luckily they were willing to accept an email from him providing the consent (in Montreal). I was told all good and that her visa will get processed and sent out next day Thursday Nov 23. Waited, but no change to her status stilled showed "under processing". In the mean time, we got 3 e-visas granted (we had applied for back on Sept 21), LOL. So I called the consulate today and told them does not matter if her entry visa is not processed because I already have her evisa, they said I can come and pick her passport today afternoon, signed another withdrawal form and lost the application money because it was already at the consulate. Not sure why they were not processing it but does not matter. And mine came back today as well. Got all 3 passports back today and now all 3 of us have our visas too.

Hi guys, a few questions:

  1. How much time does it take from "Ready to dispatch" on BLS site for the passport to arrive?
  2. Does BLS provide with a Purolator tracking code?

Thank you!! The wait is finally over.

If the Airline allows you to board, you will be fine. The immigration officer on arrival does not ask for ticket.
While travelling on a temporary visitor status, most airlines would want to see proof of onward travel though.

Hi everyone, I need help decoding this BLS status. What does returned mean? I am not bothered about the errors as I have the e-visa now. I just want them to send the passport back. What does the transaction number mean? Purolator website wont recognize it as a tracking number.
