what does “ready for collection” status means? I was told it would be delivered to me. Should I go pick up or wait for them to deliver?
does anyone know how to get the file number for tracking on the passport website? I only have bls tracking number starting with 24-XXXXX and the status shows Processing at Consulate General on BLS website. application submitted for minor normal on 6th July walk in Toronto.
Hi guys.. I need to apply for a new Indian passport through TATKAL.. if I apply this week, will I get it before Aug 10? CGI Toronto processing time is 1 week but BLS says 15-20 business days from the time I send my application.
Also - I don’t know wtf the BLS agents are smoking but the idiots are telling me “no changes in passport must be there if you want TATKAL, including photo” - HOW TF DO I GET THE SAME PHOTO FROM 10 YEARS AGO?
They’re like “sorry sir- that’s the rule”.
Can someone advise what to do?

hey.. can you pls tell me how long it took to get your passport under tatkal through BLS Toronto? Also - did they ask for same photo as your old passport?
No.. expires Feb 24, 2025
Update
just received this response from CGI toronto
You may visit the Consulate in Open House on any Wednesday between 3 to 4.30 p.m.for your case with all related documents & application in original.
im wondering what about the fees that is usually required as a demand draft in the name of BLS international? What should I take for that? I don’t have time to call them now as im going tomorrow morning
I dont think they entertain applications directly. If its expiring next year, why cant you renew it in India? You can get the passport the very next day on tatkal
I checked this forum from last few days and analyzed that now a days passport renewed took approximately 1.5 month. Are all of you permanent resident in canada or study visa or work permit. I appreciate your help
