SC walkin 21Nov BLS ottawa. Finally status on passport.gov website change to SC printed since yesterday. I have opted for pickup. any idea how long it takes to be ready for pickup. Will we get some SMS or email that you can come for pickup.? I opted for that paging service some 6$ so i assume that will atleast send 1 message for that 6$ to intimate same. Quite costly SMS though :)
Same application date for me BLS Ottawa, Status updated to SC printed 3 days back and no updates after that.

Next 3-5 days you will see update on BLS Tracker that it is "Ready for collection"

Mine Reached on 2nd Jan and no emails yet and on the BLS site while tracking says no record found.
Hi,
Did you status change yet or no? Mine reached 3rd Jan to the Brampton location and same for me so far no emails and says no record on BLS tracking (Toronto Jurisdiction) site.

I see. Thanks for the reply and the update. I guess no option but to wait till next week. If you by chance get any update, please reply to this comment if you get a chance.
Thank you

This is a general question. Do the appointments actually mean that you have an appointment with a rep at a BLS location? I had an appt for my surrender certificate back on December 29th at 1 PM at Toronto (lawrence location). I had to still wait for almost 4 hours to get my turn even though i reached 10 min before my appt time, and in the end they found a mistake in my form. So are all locations like that when it comes to booking appointments?

Wow that's too delayed.. 10days and still not trackable.. very bad.. when will they start sending to consulate if still not trackable by bls which means bls has not looked at it.


I sent it yesterday and was coming here to ask if I can start tracking from Monday..

Do they send any emails also?
I thought only tracking will appear on website..
