Best option for you is to speak to BLS, because a majority of the folks here are Indian citizens and wouldnt have the same timeline as you. The other option maybe is for you to find an agent in India who can go over to the local police station with your ID/Address proofs in India and show it to the police people there.Any one Canadian and applied for foreign PCC, I stayed in India for more than 6 months abd I need it for work it's been 4 weeks and no update. If any one has any insights
Here is my timeline for Indian PCC for PR application (CEC-EE) via in-person appointment submission at BLS Brampton using appointment service:
30th March, 2023 - PCC Form filled on Passport Seva website
31st March, 2023 - Application submitted in-person at BLS Brampton (quite lucky to get appointment at BLS Brampton the next day)
Note: The walk-in and appointment (in-person) application submissions will be processed immediately but postal applications will take a week from the date of receipt to initiate processing at BLS (as informed by BLS rep).
1st April, 2023 - BLS Website: In transit from BLS to Consulate General
3rd April, 2023 - Application along with the fee is received at Embassy and the same in under processing- Passport Seva website but at BLS: Processing at Consulate General
06th April, 2023- Application under review at Embassy/Consulate.
07th April 2023 - at 7.00 p.m. EST: Police Verification has been initiated and a request has been sent to Indian Embassy/Consulate. PCC needs to be collected from the Indian Embassy/Consulate where the applicant applied after a 'Clear' Police Verification Report is received at the Indian Embassy/Consulate, but at BLS website: Processing at Consulate General
09th April 2023- at 11.00 am IST: Same online status but the PCC verification was done at local police station (my Father was asked to visit the local police station via call with all requested documents)
Waiting for further updates.
Same for me .postal application .processing at Consulate General since April 4. How are you tracking at passport seva website? Is the file number ARN? Cos I am getting the message no ARN application exists in systemSame timeline. but mine was postal application to BLS Brampton. Since, 3 rd april, showing: Application along with the fee is received at Embassy and the same in under processing- Passport Seva website but at BLS: Processing at Consulate General .. nothing updated further. Should I be worried?

Was the process smooth for you? I just signed up for the service and I am getting conflicting information about whether it's reliable or not?
