I have a pleasant experience in the BLS Brampton office. I just walked in and it took around 30 minutes for submitting an application for surrender of an Indian passport. While different peoples have different experiences, based on my five experiences (for submitting applications for SC, Visa and OCI (3 experiences) and collecting the Indian Passport after SC and Canadian Passport after Visa) I find the staff at BLS Brampton is very courteous. In all my experiences of submission of applications, it took me only 5 minutes for submissions and the BLS staff also did not press and marketing for any add-ons like courier services, phone tracking etc. They just asked whether you want any add-on services if you say 'No' they are not insisting on these.Hi everyone- I'm new to this page and have a quick question. Assuming it has been asked before, I need to surrender my Indian passport but there seems to be absolutely no appointments available for May. I tried looking for June but it is grayed out for me and so I guess the appt dates appear month by month. Is it ok to walk in at the Toronto Centre, would anyone know what the wait times are like?
Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

You can check status on passport website where you had filed application. Login and wait for few seconds it will list your application s. you could check status from their. They have status updated by cgi. Once it goes to printed status you can expect SC, mostly a week later. Hope this helpsApplied passport surrender on March 1st by Post . No updates Nothing on BLS website just showing processing at consulate general' . Anybody in the same boat ?

Hi There,Hi Everyone,
We have applied for an OCI card as a postal Application through BLS International Services, Toronto, Canada.
Date BLS Website OCI Website Days 11-March-2022Purolator Pickup of Documents 14-March-2022Delivery of Documents to BLS 1 24-March-2022Processing at Consulate General Under Process 10 04-May-2022Processing at Consulate General Under Process 51
As of today, the status is still showing as under process in OCI website. We chose the travel date based on the timelines in BLS & OCI websites with an additional 2 weeks and booked our flight tickets to India on 22-May-2022. But unfortunately, there seems to be a delay in the processing of our OCI cards.
As per BLS the documents were sent to CGI on 24th-Mar-2022, but in OCI website the application date is 19-Apr-2022, we don't know why there is a 4weeks gap between BLS & OCI?
We have reached out to BLS/OCI Helpdesk/Sampark, but no use. Can anyone provide some insights on this situation. Appreciate any insight or solutions on this situation.
Thanks & Regards,
VAUS
Any idea on how much time it takes at OCI between Under process to printing/ dispatched?I submitted in-person on 2nd April,
Processing at Consulate on 5th April,
Under Process at OCI Website on 27 April.
Wait a few more days. It should appear on OCI site soon.
