Hey guys, I am just starting out to apply for renewal. I was refering this BLS checklist. https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/Toronto-Passport-Re-Issue-Checklist-Rev-SEP-13-2021.pdf

It has no mention of any "PERSONAL PARTICULARS FORM" to be filled. Do I still have to fill this out?

Do I have fill out change of appearance form as well? My friend who renewed in US had to fill this out for normal renewal.

I applied for renewal of my 15 year old child. We have not filled change of appearance form. Also, lady at BLS-Brampton returned Personal Particulars form back to us.

Hi, Need help with Indian Passport renewal. Below is my situation. Please help

1. I am a PR holder and my PR card and Indian Passport got expired last year - Less than 1 year
2. Renewal application is sent to CIC on paper via Canada Post. Must have reached on March 17th
3. I went to BLS for Passport renewal. Submitted my Original Passport, COPR copy, Expired PR Card Copy and PR Card Renewal Fees Receipt and they accepted the same on March 28th
4. While tracking my application, I saw a note - "Incomplete / Insufficient data - Contact BLS Centre. PR renewal email and payment receipt from CIC"

I went to BLS yesterday and they say bring the approval letter from CIC stating your PR Card extension is approved. I told them that they don't give such letter. What they do is send the PR Card which will take 105 days and I cannot wait until then. They just argue and say we cannot do anything. Get the letter from them

What should I do??? Did anyone come across such situation. What is the way out please help!!!

It's been 10 days since "passport printing has been initiated". There's no update after that. I am travelling on 26th of April. Is there any way I can speed up the process?

Feb 24th- application picked up by purolator
March 2nd- received by BLS BRAMPTON, ON
March 10th - processing at consulate general
March 17th - application is under review
April 1st - print has been initiated

Let's see if I can actually get the passport, a little skeptical that I dont have to go through the PV.

It could be that my application got processed this fast is because my passport was a little damaged by water.

In the same boat. Print has been initiated on April 1 but no update yet.

I forgot to submit my old passport with my passport application, so my application was returned. Can I resend the same application back with the passport included? Or I need to fill a new application form?

Hi.. got a reply from BLS for Signature change:
Dear Applicant,
Your Application is in pending due to the following reasons:

The signatures on the passport and application don’t match. If you would like to change your signatures; a self-declaration on a plain paper for change in signature is required. (Notarized or Stamped one is not acceptable) Please attach documents here.

Seems like my signatures are not matching with older passport( been 10 years). I sent them a letter on plain paper now.

My status changed from “Application received” to “Under process” on BLS website. What does it mean? Wasn’t it supposed to change to “In transit from BLS to CGI”?

My daughter's status now shows as 'Passport Application Granted' on the main status screen. The inspect mode says that the SP Office has been updated, as CGI did not specify the exact police thana that was required to conduct the PV. 4 weeks later after PV Initaition, and after lodging a grievance through MADAD two days ago, did CGI provide some kind of response and act on their mistake. I don't know if the status means that there is a step back to when the PV needs to be initiated or that the passport is due to be printed. My worry is that I have 2 more passport applications that CGI has mucked up on by not providing the specific police office that needs to conduct the PV.

Hi,
My application status changed to "Processing at Consulate General" on the BLS website. I took the "Application Reference Number " from here and used it to track my application on https://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/statusTracker/trackStatusForFileNoNew
But there it says "The status of the entered File Number is not available in the system. "

Does anybody know what it means?

That link could just be for new passport applications. Track yours on this website instead https://portal3.passportindia.gov.in/Online/index.html
