I paid $30 for courier in addition to below mentioned fees. Lady at counter insisted to get new photo but I had photo done from professional photographer in Walmart, so she went in to speak with someone and no new photo. Total per person was $160.10 including courier service only.

Thx for the details, we had read about the photo issues at BLS so we decided to take the photos at BLS center itself.

Guys I would suggest you to never send postal application to BLS unless you don’t have other options. I had really bad experience. They take their sweet time to just open that small envelope. Pretending to be really busy lol .

Hey sorry to hear about your experience! I don’t know if there is any other way anymore at least in the Toronto and Brampton location, as they don’t allow walk ins and the appointment page only shows dates until Dec 22( none available) Their calendar doesn’t even have an option for choosing the year 2023. I am so frustrated, and wonder how are other people booing appointments?

Hi - Please keep on the look out on their website. I was able to get an appointment on Tuesday for Friday. Sometimes they open up additional slots and you have to be quick on booking lest the slots get picket up quickly,

Don’t know much about the postal application tracking
But I would suggest you to login in a few days to track the status on the Passport Seva website. Under the Application number it will provide details whether the certificate is under review or has been printed etc
