I recently became a Canadian Citizen and will be getting passport. However, I need to travel to USA asap.
I will be surrendering my indian passport before my travel to the US but I have heard that it takes 4-5 weeks to get the indian passport surrender certificate.
Can I travel before getting the surrender certificate and after giving away my Indian passport?

Hi,

I am in the process of Indian passport surrender for self and minor. I have the following questions:
1) When filling the application for minor, -
Does Page 1 need only minor's thumb impression?
Does page 2 (Declaration) need thumb impression for minor plus signatures of both parents ?
2) I understand that I need to self attest photo copies for my documents, but for minor's documents, does one parent attest it or both or no attestation required ?

Is a canadian passport compulsory for applying of Surrender certificate. I checked the BLS website and it mentions that over there but while filling up the form the Canada passport number is not a mandorty field. Is it possible to apply for surrender certificate without Canadian passport

In Toronto, BLS does not accept SC applications w/o Canadian PP.
In Vancouver they used to accept SC w/o Canadian PP but not sure if it is still the case

My status is showing as 'Ready for collection' since Friday 26 July.

Called BLS today informed them that I have already paid for the return currier services so they have now emailed their internal back-end team to look into it.

Anyone had such status before?
