During online application provide an Indian phone number of your family member (just next to police station section details) so that they can contact someone in India. Also, when BLS send request to your nearest police station, you will receive an email that they have forwarded verification and then you can also send your family member to go to police station to speed up the process.

Is it okay to fill the forms and checklist by hand? Signature by hand or scan and upload on computer and then print? Also, I have 7 months remaining for my passport to expire. If I apply online now and there are additional documents required, will I be able to get my passport to renew even if I have crossed the 6-month limit that we have before renewing our passport?

Hi, Thanks for a very informative video
I have filled out the online application as mentioned in this video
However, I have 2 questions
1) In my current passport, my parent's name is mentioned only with their Given name, and their Surname is not included
Can I add their Surname while applying for renewal? If yes, Do I need to provide their passport photocopy as proof?
2) In printable Address, I have given my Indian Address & the same is mentioned in my current passport
Do I need to give Aadhaar/ Voter ID for Proof of Address, or is my current passport enough as Proof of Address?
Did you receive ypur passport after adding indian address in 1st address

@@CanVisaPathway hi brother
I want to ask that my passport is expiring in 2026 and my study is going to be completed in 2024, so how can I renew my passport so that i can get my 3 yr WP
A query. My passport is expiring, but application is not considering the date of expiry. If I just change the name will I be issued a passport for next 10 year expiry of new passport with same expiry dates ?
Hi sir, do we need to self attest all the other documents which we send as a proof like marriage certificate, study permit, adhar card etc . And one thing more do we also need to send personal particular form with the postal application and on annexure E form what should we write at the place of address ( Canadian or Indian address) bcz my printed address on online application is Indian address..
Hello Kirampreet
Yes, it is recommended, you should self attested all documents. For Annexure E form, you need to provide you present address as you live in Canada so provide address in Canada.

@kiranpreetkamboj1607 did you receive your passport reissued after giving indian address as printable address???? i am going through the same process, i am here on study permit
I didn't clearly understand what you said regarding spliting the given name into to parts. Do we need to write seperate application for that? DO they provide any form or we just write it on our own?
They dont provide any form, You just need to write on simple A4 paper that you want to split your name , but your full name is still same as on previous passport. It will work for you as it worked me.
Let me know if you have any question, will be happy to help you :)
@@CanVisaPathway Thanks a lot big brother. i have one more question, do I need to apply for pcc too? If yes then when should I do it? I need my passport to be renewed within two weeks as I need to apply for work permit. Thanks.
@@gurdialsingh9863 No, you are not required to apply for PCC, they will send police verification as per your address. You are not required to be in India for verification. During online application provide an Indian phone number of your family member (just next to police station section details) so that they can contact someone in India. Also, when BLS send request to your nearest police station, you will receive an email that they have forwarded verification and then you can also send your family member to go to police station to speed up the process.
Let me know if you still have any doubt.

Hello. Thanks for this video. Really full of information. I have a question. My passport is expiring in March 2025. I want to apply for PGWP after completion of my 2nd course in September 2023. So, I wanted to ask that can I apply for re-issue as it is more than 1 year for expiry.
Yes bro you can .
Is it okay to fill the forms and checklist by hand? Signature by hand or scan and upload on computer and then print? Also, I have 7 months remaining for my passport to expire. If I apply online now and there are additional documents required, will I be able to get my passport to renew even if I have crossed the 6-month limit that we have before renewing our passport?
