5:57 . Under present address in Canada do we need to mention pincode as its not mentioned? Optional option contains zip code which I believe its for US & other nations
4:18 regarding indian passport details, I have two indian passports one of which had expired. The other one i had got recently. So which passport details do I need to enter? Thanks for the informative video.
Also is there any benefit to getting lounge service as the line ups are too long and there is at least a 2 month delay in appointments. I am planning to go on a Saturday for the passport surrender. Any advice. Thanks
Hello i have one question related to place of birth . I am trying to fill this section with both city and state together as same as in my passport but not able to type it due to character limitation?
Question about the photo requirements I found the background requirements for the photo as per the website is a bit confusing. Requirements mentioned in the description before starting the application say plain light color background ( not white ) Photograph to be affixed on the application should be a square shape of size not less than 51*51mm (with 80% coverage of the face). It should have plain light color background (not white) without the border with front view of person's head and shoulders showing the full face in middle of the photograph. It should not be stapled and not have any signature. One color photo as per below specification is required to be submitted along with the application: And then the photo requirements on the prepare and collect list ( background should be plain white ) K photograph ■Size - 2 inch x 2 inch (51 mm x 51 mm) ■ Background - Background should be plain white colored without borders. ■ Clothes - Dark colour ■ Eyes - Open What background color actually they are looking for ?
Hi don't worry when you go to professional studio they know what to take especially if you are in Canada you don't have to worry just ask the person if he/she knows this specification and have receipt all should be good
Hello Gopi, thanks for informative contents, appreciate it. i got the Canadian passport as well as Indian e-visa I have two questions if you have any comments 1) i will.travel on Canadian passport however can I carry indian passport and surrender indian passport in India? I do not need to get exit entry right ? I will submit OCI application from Canada
In your case since you will have evisa you won’t require exit visa as you won’t enter using Canada passport with valid evisa. You once get surrender certificate from India can come back and initiate for OCI(if you are looking to apply)
Hello, Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. The instructions on filling the online application say to fill everything in BLOCK LETTERS. I followed that instruction except when entering my email ID, which are lowercase so I didn't even think about it. Do you think this will be a problem and I should start a new application ? I will call BLS and check with them too. In your video, you entered the pretend email ID in lowercase too so I was hoping your actual application was not rejected just because of that and I don't have to start a new application . Any feedback is appreciated! EDIT: I called BLS and they said as long everything else in in uppercase, the email ID being lowercase is fine and the application does not get rejected. Hope this helps someone!
Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, so it's best to check with the Indian consulate or embassy in Canada or consult their guidelines to ensure compliance and eligibility based on the reservist's specific role and responsibilities. Did the reservist get weapon trainings? Also can you please 🙏 keep me updated

email in small letter should not be a problem unless BLS is looking for lounge service fee
