  There are a lot of wrongs, like incorrect information on the website, wrong location on google maps, 5 photos requirement of 4 and 4 copies of personal particulars instead of 3 etc., but the staff is willing to help and is informative. They do push for the $30 courier charges, which I guess shouldn't be a big deal to get things easily done. The key is that I expected them to behave like an Indian office and came back happy. Set your expectations correctly and don't compare them with Sevice Canada.

  My experience today was good, i was the only applicant at 9:30 in the morning. It took around 20 mins to submit an application for passport renewal, even when I had to go to the photo-shop opposite BLS to get extra photos. I saw another applicant arrive when I was leaving and the staff told me there are 1-2 days in a month when they see more than 10-12 applicants at once leading to wait times. I took a day off after reading the reviews, wasted a leave from my quota.

  Horrible service. The woman helping was extremely rude. Kept cutting me off. And the website sucks there is not enough information or it's all over the place. The agents on the phone do not give correct information.

  They add courier service in a service charge. i did told them that we do not get couriers where we live in country side so i asked them that i will pick it up from your location as you receive it from vancouver consulate. i did told that courier will ask me to pick up from office in calgary but they did not understand and they were aggressive with me. When courier company emailed me that i have to pick up my courier from calgary office which make me to drive down 105 km from where i live, which is same distance to BLS office in calgary. When i went to pick up my courier from courier office when i saw shipping from address it was BLS calgary office. i did not see any info from vancouver consulate. This is insane. BLS company is ripping off people. They are making money by charging other amount to customers. i have attached shipping from image as well.

  I was helped by Mumtaz at Bls International in Calgary. She was nice and courteous. She helped me with 2 surrender and 2 OCI applications. I commend her on her efforts and knowledge. Thank you for your help :)

  Worst customer service and rude staff. They think that they work for the Canadian embassy or something just a bunch of losers on minimum wage.

  So, no long queues, no 3-4 hours of wait or rude staff from what I saw. May be I'm just lucky to have arrived at a good time, but I can't complain about the staff or the behavior as other reviews. I had a decent experience overall!
