JAN 10TH : Walking Application @ BLS Mississauga.[BLS TRACKING]
JAN 17th : App. Received at GGI. .[PASSPORT PORTAL TRACKER]
JAN 19th : PV initiated. .[PASSPORT PORTAL TRACKER]
JAN 24th : PVR Completed .[PASSPORT PORTAL TRACKER]
Jan 24th : Print Initiated .[PASSPORT PORTAL TRACKER]
FEB 8th : PPT Printed.[PASSPORT PORTAL TRACKER]
FEB 12th : In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre [BLS TRACKING].
I think it will be delivered before the end of this week....

It was an Ordeal as I had applied under Tatkal, just because I need to be in India in March...
I sent two email to CGI
Set up two enquiry @ Sampark.
No response yet..

Lesson Learned:
A) Apply at least 3 Months in advance. Even tatkal can be delayed...
B) CGI barely responds to queries or even acknowledges it regardless of the emergency except in case of sudden death/illness of immediate family members

Hello @Ank1980 , thank you for this information. I just wanted to ask one thing. I currently have submitted my passport re issuance application but I am not able to get any dates in Brampton or Mississauga. Could you please let me know whether you tried finding a date on BLS website or you called to book a walk in appointment? Much appreciate the help.

Bro, there was no appointment available for PPT renewal in Jan, I just walked into BLS Mississauga (I think this center opened in Jan 2024). I had to negotiate with the Guard to get in.
 
My PV completed on 27 January. Then application status got changed to processing at Consulate. No further update since that on Portal3 or Bls site. Can anyone suggest anything please?
 
Hello Everyone
I submitted my passport at BLS on 29th Dec 2023.
Since Jan 17, its showing "print has been initiated". No status updates after that. What should I do?

Today I finally received my Passport. It took almost 6weeks for me.
Thank you everyone
