Hi- I applied for Indian passport renunciation and got the status changed to - documents are dispatched via courier. I applied in person and opted for delivery. Will I received separate email from Purolator for the tracking number or do I need to call BLS for the tracking number?
Thanks

Normally BLS tracker shows the tracking number when you check the status.

Hello Prateek, I submitted my application on Aug 13th in the Surrey office and have the same status. Not sure how long it will take. Did you try calling BLS for further info?
They are saying to email the counselate people which I did on their complaints email on their website for surrender certificate and they didn't replied my email till now. But do keep me posted here please if anything changes for you

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of surrendering my Indian passport and have a question about filling out the form. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, I changed my name in Ontario and received a Canadian passport with the new name (Given name and last name issue).
My question is: Do I need to submit the surrender passport application based on the Indian passport/ old name, or can I do it with the new name?

Not sure if this has been answered before - But any idea if I need to surrender Indian passport to apply for India e-visa?
I'm planning on traveling later this month to India with my Canadian passport -Not sure if I should have the surrender letter as well ?

The two activities are independent and not related to each other. The e-visa is also used by other Canadians who were not formerly Indian citizens.
