Indian PCC in Vancouver (BLS), some questions

[Arka161]

Hello everyone,

I am applying for a PCC as an Indian citizen in Vancouver. I was wondering if I was supposed to send my original passport for the process, or if photocopies are enough.

I got this doubt as the BLS checklist asks for the original passport and the CGI Vancouver website mentions that self-attested photocopies are okay.

If anyone can give me an answer on this, I really really appreciate the help.

Do not send your original
Just send them photocopy of your originals
And sign back of those photocopy pages

BLS APPLICATION RETURN
Hi all. My husband’s passport reissue postal application got returned by BLS Vancouver. Got the email on May 1. Does anyone know how long will it take for us to receive the original passport and other documents in the passport application back?
