Well, I submitted my Surrender Certificate application at BLS Ottawa without Canadian Passport and they accepted it. I just mentioned that I will apply for Canadian Passport in future. It is under processing at High Commission since June 30th.
strange but good for you. Looks like each rep has different view of application.
I was not in mood of arguing over something which I have to do anyways and getting passport nowadays takes less than 10 days.

How slow is Ottawa High Commission? I submitted my application on June 30th. It's still showing under review at the High Commission of India. Any similar timeframe anyone else has?

The same status which I posted since I took the status from the Passport Seva website only (not the actual words).
On BLS, the status says "Processing at High Commission" since a day after I submitted the application.

Hi, question regarding surrender certificate. It says I need to also submit my original Canadian passport? Is that really the case as I have an upcoming travel plans for which I will need my passport. Given how long surrender certificates are taking I am unable to give them my Canadian passport.

No you don’t need to submit original Canadian passport
It has been mentioned so many times on this thread
When you apply for SC carry all originals of the supporting documents you will submit the self attested copy of
They will take the Indian passport (original) and give it back you (with a cancellation stamp on it) along with the SC after 2-3 weeks of processing

did you read my earlier posts? It takes 2-3 weeks for SC ready at OTT HCI from date of receipt. The lady at counter said that sometimes it takes 3-4 weeks depending on case by case so you should hear something soon.

Keep in mind that there were couple of holiday in first week of July.
