Hey, do you get any update after the status print has been initiated ?

My status changed to "Print has been initiated" on somewhere in the last week of December 2024 and then next day I got the police verification email. After that police verification was done in the last week of December as well, and then status again changed to "Passport application is under review at the Embassy/Consulate". I am not sure why would the status change to under review again when the police verification was done, but was hoping to see the status - "Passport is printed". There have been no status updates for me so far.

When did you submit your application and what's your status at this point?

I submitted my documents to cgi Toronto through post on 3rd December. It’s passport renewal file. I applied to add name of my spouse. BLS received file on 6th December. BLS sent the documents to the consulate Toronto on 9th December. My file was under review at consulate till 1st of Jan. on 1st Jan my status got changed to “print has been initiated for passport”. I didn’t receive any police clearance notification but still my father visited local SP office and my father received answer from them that they have submitted file on 1st as well, without inquires. But today it’s day 8 still my file not moving. How long does passport take to print ? For Toronto they print passport here in Toronto only right ? Still not getting it for 8 days. I have a flight to catch on 18th Jan. it’s 9 days from today. Will I be getting passport before it ?

Hi Al,

I applied for Passport renewal on 8th Oct from Toronto.
The status on Passport portal was "Print initiated" until last week but now it has again changed to "Passport application is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate".

And the inspect status on the portal shows "Stop Printing for CPPFAdmin".

Any idea what does this status mean ?

@axp8982

Hi, please can you share your timeline. I am in the same situation. My status showed as "Print Initiated" earlier and now changed to under review. If you already received your passport your timeline would help me what to expect and give an idea of how long to wait. Thanks!

Mine it said passport granted post police verification basis.
I got a mail for police verification though,
My passport shows print initiated. My family had done police verification done in police 2 days ago.
I need to travel urgently to India. I don’t know when will I receive the passport.

Hey, any updates for you ? Please share our timeline almost same. Thanks in advance

BLS - Ottawa - Walk in.
Passport renewal due to expiry date.
Submitted on Dec 12th 2024.
On Dec 13th, status changed to "Processing at High Commission" on BLS & "Passport application along with fee details have been received. The same is under processing at the Embassy/Consulate" on Passport portal. And no more updates until today (9th Jan 2025). Tried to reach out them, they are saying to wait, the process takes 6-8 weeks. I need to give my Biometrics for PR by 20th Jan 2025.

Hi,

Sharing my timeline here for the Passport renewal process. The wait time was really frustrating and monitoring others timelines gave me an idea of the wait time for each step during the renewal. Hope it helps others

I applied to BLS Vancouver in person. It took me approximately 7.5 weeks time for the entire process (53 days).
