Yes by mail or by courier.
If you have an emergency situation wherein the passport is needed within 30 days then you can get an appointment for a walk in.
You may refer the website for further details.

Hi everyone

I am writing to enquire about OCI for kids born to single father in India via surrogacy. Child has indian passport at birth and will soon acquire Canadian citizenship. In such a scenario how does one go through applying for OCI since the forms ask for details of two parents (which isn’t the case here).

I was also told instead of applying in Canada via BLS or embassy, it’s better to take the kid on tourist visa to India and apply at an FRRO office there.

Any leads or successful experiences would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

*bump*

Anyone, please?

hi
I applied for passport by certified courier to to Passport program, 22 de Varennes street , Gateau, QC, J8T8R1 , at SEP 16 ... by tracking I found that it was delivered in Ottawa, I ask Canada post customer service about the cause of different destination ,they told me that it was delivered at QC (proper address) , and it was written in Ottawa because the main passport office is in Ottawa ... I ask if any body has similar thing because till now I don't receive any emails confirmation from the passport office..thanx

Hi It will be better if your call passport customer care 1 800 567 6868 and ask them to confirm receipt of your application. I had a doubt about receipt of my application sent through Fedex. I insisted Customer care officer to check and confirm the receiving of application and she confirm the same date as per date given by Fedex.. Further my application was received by Gatineau office but original Citizenship certificate was sent from Richmond and place of issue of passport is shown as Richmond but I received my passport from Mississauga office.
