- BLS Postal Links doesn't seem to be working right now. I have informed BLS through their contact form on the Contact Us page. You can always walk in to a Purolator store nearby and drop off your Passport application but you must print the label(the address of you BLS jurisdiction) first and take it with you to the Purolator store.

Just did mine. Guys, the alternative is to call them up and they will generate it for you and also help with the postal payments.

@@leonquadros4552 hi, can you share the details as how you did it please. I am also in the process of renewing the passport. Thanks

Hi great video. i have a question though, I am not able to book my postal pickup and drop service. there is no link available. do you have any information regarding that?
Should a valid 21:21 visa be stamped in the old passport before applying for renewal? For example, I have my student visa stamped in my passport, but it's expired now and I am on my post-graduate work permit now. However, the visa was not stamped after I got the PGWP.
Thank you for your valuable information 😊
I'm glad the video was helpful

Thank you for this video, it's really helpful.
I have a question, will they take my old passport during this process or they will give it back to me?
You'll receive your old passport but they will cancel your old passport before issuing a new one. If you have a valid visa on your old passport, you'll need to carry both old and new passports when you travel outside Canada

I got requested to submit my self declaration form. It says SELF-DECLARATION ON A PLAIN PAPER FORM FOR CHANGE OF APPEARANCE IS REQUIRED. (NOTARIZED ONE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE) what does it mean? I do not need to do notarized? I just have to send normal written documents on plain paper declarations without notarized?? And what is process to send documents again. Do i need to send all documents again?
Thanks for the video. Had a question, I live in rent apartment so when I provide Canadian address the same will appear on the passport, so does that mean I’ve to change/update my address everytime?
Yes, your Canadian address will appear on your Passport. You don't have to update your address everytime you move to another place. You must update your Passport when you are going to use it as an address proof. In Canada you are not going to use your Indian passport for address proof but when you have to apply for a re-issue or renewal of Passport you must update your current address on your Passport.
Thanks sir

Sir i came canada on work permit but my work permit is expired...so wht should i write as a address - indian or canada address for passport renewal
Thank you for the detailed explanation about the passport renewal. Appreciate your efforts. I have a question here though for myself. My passport expires in 16 months and I have to apply work permit in 2 weeks. Should I wait until I get a new passport to apply for my work permit or should I apply for my work permit first and then apply for a reissued passport?
Hi, very well explained video, I have one question, i see when you preview your passport @ time stamp 7.38 (in video), on your example it has canadian address. So, my question is, "does this has to be canadian address only?" or i can choose the same indian address as my previous passport. currently i am PR here. Please reply, Thanks
If you area PR you can't use your Indian address as printable address on your Passport application. Go through the document checklist of the video and the BLS sample application form.
@ImmigrateAbroadCanada oh, they don't show this sample on bls website anymore.
My concern is that I live in a leased house in Canada. This is a temporary place, but if I moved out of this house after the lease expires.

Hi SunilRaaj, Thanks a lot for the very detailed video. Have a question. My wife's vistor record was not issued and immigration officer told her to apply open workpermit since she is eligible. Her passport expires in 8 months and open workpermit takes close to 4 to 5 months. So for Canadian status is it ok to submit only the visitor visa stamp or we should wait for open work permit. Thanks.
You can apply work permit in 6 months after entry so in between you can renew passport and apply for work permit.
I am adding my spouse name while renewing passport. On first page of applicant detail do I have to give my currant passport information? In my passport my status is single. So I have to write single in it? And in family details I have to write spouse name?
Which Address to put on the Passport renewal as Printed and Other. I am on work permit ? Please help
I have 2 questions.
I have old which was issued from India as well as renewed passport which was issued from Toronto. Which passport should I upload to express entry profile?
And what is place of issue in express entry profile?
You must scan and upload both your old and new passports. In your express entry profile you can add multiple passports.
The place of issue is where the passport was issued. Check your passport last page for the place of issue.
Is tatkaal option faster??
Thanks for the video, I have a clarification while filling my Indian address, I'm unable to type my full address in the house# and street name column, so I had to enter the rest of it in the Village/city/town column along with the city, will this be an issue in my application?
Hi there…..how you mentioned your address ? As I am facing same issue pls can u reply .
Thank you

Hi, I made a mistake in the application that i have submitted, so i created a new application now. Kindly tell me how to delete the old application? Thanks in advance 🙏
Thanks for sharing valuable information.
Can I use my old passport for the PGWP application if my re-issue passport application is in process at BLS?
when you apply for Re-issue you'll need to send your original passport to BLS along with your application. You can't just send your application and keep your passport with you.
Thank you for the video. I had a question. For students, is a letter of enrolment from university acceptable for address proof in Canada? Or do I need a rental agreement? I am currently in the middle of moving : I will be moving to my new place next month so not sure if I should give current address or future and it's an immediate need and I plan to apply for tatkaal. And one more question: I have valid status as a student and a study permit extension and I have my approval letter from govt of Canada but not the actual secure document : is it okay to give the approval letter?
I'm glad the video was helpful. Letter of enrolment from university will not be accepted as address proof. If you are living on the University Campus, you need to ask your building supervisor to give you a letter mentioning your address on the University Campus.
If you are certain you'll move to the future address, then provide your future address.
A Photocopy of your valid study visa and study permit must be included in your Tatkal application package.
What happens if the Indian passport has already been expired.
I have a doubt regarding my printable address on passport
As of now I reside in a rented house in Canada so in that case it’s ok to give that address.
Hi
Do you know how to get consulate general approval if my passport is valid for more than 1 year ?
I have to apply for my Work permit soon. Thanks
i am on study permit, do i need to update my new passort number for sin number as well ?
Hi,
For PR, printable address must be the Canadian address and other address should be the Indian address. Right?
Same questtion.
Bro I have submitted it by postal application and I tracked it via purolator website, it shows it is delivered. But how can I tack the status of the passport? When i enter the details on the bls website it shows no records found for the website. One more update: The postal payment link is not working so you can contact the BLS via call and they will manually assist you and send you payment link. Thanks
And I got an email saying no pen should be used.
Sure, here's a revised version:
"Great video! I have a question: I'm a PR holder, and I need my Indian address printed. Will there be any issues if I provide my Indian address instead of Canadian address??"
How long it took to receive your passport?
Hi, can we walk in to bls without appointment?? I couldn’t get an appointment as it says no available slots. Also can we go to consulate general office to renew passport now??
No, you can't go to BLS or Indian Consulate general without an appointment. Either wait till a slot becomes available or mail in your application through the postal process
Hey, thank you so much for the video. I wanted to ask after the Indian passport was reissued did it come with renewed 10 years on it?

Hi, my friend’s application got rejected since she had Indian address in the printable address section (and canadian addr in other) even though she is on work permit. Let me know if we can still enter Indian address as printable
For work permit holders, Canadian Address is printed on the passport. Hence Canadian address on the first/Top section and Indian address in the below/other address section.
Can students give Indian address on printable address section and Canadian address below?
@@Bibiti_Bopwhat about study permit holders?

Can I renew my passport 15 months prior to its expiry?
Hlo sir i am sending documents through purolator. Just wonder do i need to send the original passport too?
Yes, you must send your original and a photocopy of your passport with your application
Can you please answer my question
If we choose postal application, do we need to visit the embassy to give our fingerprints?
Also do we have to send our original passport in the post or only the photocopy?
interested in response for this question
@@shubhamsuri3567 we don’t have to visit the embassy
And yes we have to send our original passport
5:25 I made this mistake as a PR and my address was other way around. Wish I had watched this guide
It doesn’t let you add your PR address on the top but printable Indian instead
Please tell me what kind of proofs of address we can use to make changes in address on passport?
I have covered all the accepted address proof documents in the video. You can look them up at the below timestamps:
10:09 Document Requirements
13:02 Common Documents for Passport Renewal
13:51 Annexure-E Form
14:23 Address Proof Documents
So we can renew our passport just 1 Yr before the expiry? So if we have 2 Yr left for the expiry of passport and we need to add spouse name and will they issue the passport with new information and new expiry date?
When it’s less than one year then do it
If we choose to send the application by postal, do we need to send our original passport along with photocopy ?
It says in the checklist page, original(old) & photo copy of the pages
I am PR in India, Can I have Indian address still on my new Passport ? where should I mention it ?
Hi. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I submitted the documents today but the only thing I missed is the first question on the check list form about change in parents name. I forgot to mark on 'No'. Will they reject my application?
They might accept your application. Once a BLS employee checks your application and if you have submitted all the documents they might correct your checklist and mark the answer as no and forward it to the Indian Embassy for processing.
@@ImmigrateAbroadCanada Okay. Is it possible to call them and request them to do the changes on my behalf?
@@dhairyabhatt6892 I wouldn't suggest calling BLS. The call won't reach the BLS employee who will oversee your application. It will go to the BLS call centre agent. I'm guessing a lot of people will not have answered the same question as you. Even I didn't do that right in the video as it's barely visible at the top of the checklist. BLS might have been accepting all the applications who didn't answer the first question. So just wait an see.
@@ImmigrateAbroadCanada Alright. Thank you so much for your help 👍
Hi bro. BLS rejected my application stating that my signature on the application doesn't match with the passport. They have asked if I would like to change my signature I will have to write a self declaration for change in my signature. What shall I do? Shall I submit the documents again with a similar signature in the passport or shall I include a self declaration form in the application? If I have to write a self declaration form what details shall I include in it? Request you to respond please 🙏

Hi …..what kind of address proof you gave ? Pls can u tell me bcoz I also have same issue
Hello, im in a similar situation, what address proof have you used?
I have 2 questions.
1.) As a student, can I show my study permit as a proof of address as it has my address mentioned on top of it.
2.) I live in Toronto and the dates and the appointment dates are not available till next month. But there are slots available in Brampton area, can I book appointment in Brampton and not Toronto, does it change anything if I do that?
Only address-proof documents listed in the checklist are accepted. The list doesn't state that they accept study permits as address proof. You'll need to submit your study permit anyway but you must submit another acceptable document for address proof.
Yes, you can book an appointment at Brampton BLS center if it's available
