Good sign I think.. for kid application it changed to "surrender certificate granted and ready to be issued" as checked status again just now.. so it took 2-3days so far from previous status.. let's see how it goes tomorrow for other family member.. I am hopeful for processing soon as other few members also got it back in 1week once it reached consulate..

Update- you can submit Surrender Certificate without applying Canadian Passport of your fall under Vancouver Jurisdiction. You just need to submit a letter of declaration.

Update again today for 1st person..
Surrender certificate has been printed.

so took 2 day from "granted and issued" to "printed".. so other family member should update to "printed" on Monday i guess if consulate does not work on Saturday.
 
A question for anyone who surrendered passport in India - do you need an address proof (e.g. Aadhar) with the same address as Passport? @nivaan5 can you share your experience. Thanks!
 
Hello,

I checked the status of my application today and it says "Ready for Collection". Could anyone clarify / answer some questions:

1) Do i need to book an appointment with BLS to collect the certificate or can i just walk in at any time?
2) Whats the best time to go to go to BLS?
3) What kind of wait times am I expecting?

But i paid $42 for drop-off services from Purolator. However, a shipping label was not created after payment and I only took a print out of the payment made to Purolator.

It updated for other family member also today as printed.


@forw.jane any idea if there is another status on passport portal after "surrender certificate has been printed"?
Or next update will be directly on bls website?
 
Just fyi- New Appointments are opened for BLS Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto for Passport
