I am noticing that within 2-3 days it moves from PROCESSED to Counter Delivery to BLS/Ready for dispatch. You can then probably collect it from BLS center as soon as you find that it is being delivered to BLS. Also, please post it here as soon as you find your status being changed. I will do the same.Mine is OCI submitted at BLS (in person): May 6
Consulate site acknowledgement date: May 25
It seems to be standard 21 days to change to PROCESSED status so probably June 15. But I have lost faith with BLS as when they will deliver (or will mess up) and also if it does not get updated then June 15 is less than 2 weeks from my travel to apply for visa so I don’t want to risk it at any cost. My biggest regret is Passport surrender is now happening in a week but when I submitted they took 2 months killing my prime time.
So your status status says Passport ready for collection? I thought that was only for in-person pickup. For Purolator, status should say Passport ready for dispatch no? Or it does not make sense between the 2 different BLS statuses.Purolator delivery

Yes you would need to provide Canadian address as permanent and enter alternate address as Indian address in forms. Try to provide Indian address for which you have adhaar card, old Indian passport or some other Indian docs which can be provided during police verification in India. If you go for Tatkaal, you will first get passport and police verification would be done later. Probably you yourself can help in police verification in India if you are travelling soon after getting passport . Hope this will help.Hello there, My frnd is Canadian PR holder and waiting for citizenship. His Indian passport has expired. Due to citizenship processing delays he decided to get it renewed and plan a trip to India. Can anyone let us know as PR holder address will canadian, will there be any physical police verification at Indian address?? We appreciate your quick response.
Also if passport renewal done in tatkal process how much time it takes these days. Will there be police enquiry?? If so when as the passport will be handed soon.
You may opt for both options for the address to be mentioned on the Indian Passport. Giving Canadian address would perhaps be easier, just submit address proof. I had done that.Hello there, My frnd is Canadian PR holder and waiting for citizenship. His Indian passport has expired.

Of course you can apply for (multiple) Entry Visa. That's what the new Canadian Passport is for.After we receive the Canadian passport, can we apply for Indian visa and travel to India using that ? It seems getting OCI card takes a few weeks/month atleast and I've an urgent trip to India planned. Also, do we need to surrender Indian citizenship necessarily before applying for Indian visa ?
Not sure if this is something new. We renewed passports in 2018 and did not undergo any Police verification (police man calling or visiting at Indian address)You may opt for both options for the address to be mentioned on the Indian Passport.

Police verification was still carried out though, perhaps if not for Indian address verification, but for other background checks required for Indian govt. For that, they need someone (not necessarily you) to be actually present on the Indian address the day Police gives a visit, and also two neighbors who would all give their selfies on their official Phone/Tablet. I had a hard time arranging/synchronizing this.
I am not fully sure however, if they do police verification for everyone, or just specially/randomly selected ones. BLS status and an email from them will let you know if they go for that.

I got them done last year (2021) and before expiry (so they were valid).Not sure if this is something new. We renewed passports in 2018 and did not undergo any Police verification (police man calling or visiting at Indian address)
Also our passports were still valid during renewal. Not sure if this has any impact (expired or still valid passport being renewed)
