Once on portal3 it says printed, We can follow the BLS tracking site for updates.
No. There was no email notification from BLS. But I saw the status got changed on BLS website on 14th Feb.
Mine is "in transit from consulate general to bls " from last 4 days. Don't know what is going on
Hi all, I am looking to get an appointment for renewing my passport at BLS in Toronto. There are no appointments available until March 31. Does anyone know when they open up slots for April appointments? I want to snag one as soon as possible.
HI All, I sent my daughters passports by Post in tatkal, and they were returned back in a weeks' time due to incorrect application. It was my mistake; I chose the wrong jurisdiction.
I resent the corrected application as soon as I received the passports back. The timeline is as below.
February 5 - Pick up by purolator
February 6 - Delivered to BLS per purolator tracking
February 8 - BLS acknowledges reciept of application
February 9 - In transit from BLS to consulate
February 12 - Processing at consulate
February 13 - In transit from Consulate to BLS
February 14 - Passports received at BLS
February 15 - Passports delivered to my home
Conclusion : As long as your application is complete & correct, the processing is pretty efficient. tatkal took a total of 10 days including the postal time which is pretty good.
Happy to answer any questions to assist anyone.

Hi Omar! I am looking to renew my passport. Can you help me understand how you went about using the purolator pick-up/drop-off? And if I use this option, do I not need an appointment with BLS? I am trying to use this link but it doesn't appear to be working: https://www.blsindia-canada.com/postalbls/
Absolutely. If you want to use purolator you don’t need an appointment. Call the number on the BL website, select English, new application, passport and wait for some time to be connected. Once connected the person on the other end will be more than happy to create purolator links for you through credit card payment.
I have applied for renewal of passport with Indian consulate Toronto. I had opted for ouriesservice by purilator and my passport was picked up on 16-Jan-2024. And police verification is done in India on 7-Feb-2024.
As of now status on consulate passport seva portal says - “Passport application is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate.”
But it’s not showing police verification done even though it’s 10 days. Can we trackstarus of application post completion of police verification and printing?
