Passport Renewal out of country
- Thread starter Goldline
- Start date
Why you want to take a risk ? If you are living in Canada you are spending thousands of dollars. why bother for extra $ 200 - 300 for renewal, at least you will show that your passport has been issue at Ottawa.
i renewed it from Toronto embassy. much easier to renew Indian passports in Canada, less need for supporting documents and faster timeline.louclouc said:
if you feel it is easier and less expensive, then do it. in the end, it's all about time and money.
I dont have personal experiences neither do I know anyone personally anyone in this situation but, I do remember reading on this forum about a person who waited 7 years to get citizenship because his passport was renewed from his home country. CIC just did not buy into his story that he renewed it when while vacationing there. According to him his file got pushed to the bottom and the whole process took 7 years.
In reply to a post that its non of their concern. I agree, it shouldn't, but the fact of the matter is they are concerned with everything. From your travel to your passport. Even if they are gaps between your expired passport and new passport they raise an eyebrow.

it depends from person to person. i have known people who got their passport renewed during vacation, because they dont live close to an embassy. also at the interview, the officer hardly checked my passport even though i have heard some applicants getting thoroughly grilled. we hardly talked about my travels or residency. she focused on other inquiries.
Yea I applied in person at the office on March 27th and was ready to pay for express 24 hour service but my travel date is may 13th (flying to china) and they said they won't give me express and only charged me for the normal fee. I just wanted the passpot asap because I wanted to drive down to the states this weekend with my friends but I don't have any concrete evidence so that didn't work. But on the recipt it days the passport will be mailed out on April 10th
