Hi, Just wanted to confirm once with regard to DD for Indian passport renewal. I will be sending it via courier so I am supposed to take DD for 97.7 CAD right?

Hello, Anyone took DD recently? If yes then can you please confirm the amount here? Thanks in advance
 
Any one with recent experience of Passport renewal? I see the photograph requirements listed but a lot of people mentioned its better to have it clicked at the BLS centre as they will find something wrong with your photo and ask you to click it there. If i decide to avail the photo clicking service at the BLS, is there any sort of pre-intimation, booking required?
What is a better plan of action?

Hi, Just appointment for passport services is sufficient. Better to take photo there they don't ask separate pre intimation for that. We took the photo there. Submitted on Feb 2 still waiting. Cheers.

Hello

Can someone please tell me how to arrange for pick-up and drop-off service since the online portal is not working? Do courier services need to be arranged through Purolator only or can it be through UPS also?

Hello, I applied for re issue of passport at Vancouver consulate. My status on consular website last week showed passport is printed and will be sent shortly. But my police verification was completed last week in India and now my status shows passport application under review at embassy. Also I tracked in BLS website which shows ready for dispatch. Could anyone please let me know how long it would take to complete the review at consulate. Thank you.
