"With effect from 20 November 2006, the Consulate General of India will accept applications for visa only by mail/courier. (Only persons holding Pakistani passports and Foreigners of Pakistani origin, Bangladeshi Passport holders and Czech nationals need to apply personally.)

In the normal course, passports of Canadians born in Canada and persons of Indian origin would be despatched within 3 working days (excluding the day of receipt and despatch). Applicants are advised to apply well in time. The Consulate will not take any responsibility for delays for any reason.

In genuine emergency cases, the Consulate-General of India will accept passports in person and return them the same day. This would attract emergency service charges of C$ 55 per visa. Applicants seeking emergency service should produce confirmed air ticket to get this service.

Persons, who earlier held Indian passports, while applying for visa must submit their Canadian passport with last Indian visa endorsement or their previous Indian passport (cancelled or otherwise) and Landing paper"

The rules got changed because some rowdy people created schene at the consulate. It also showed up in the news.

I had no idea the consulate had moved. I know the topic has been raised here, but I guess I just did not care to look at it.

However, I happened to go past the new location just a week or so ago. And voila, a whole bunch of desi's lining up outside in the cold. I could not help but ask around only to find out the consulate had moved. If I were a shopkeeper in that area, I would be pee'd off with the "gang" outside. The consulate should at least have enough space to handle the number of people it expects. The scene was just ridiculous.

Luckily for the consulate general, I met him on the weekend prior to this drive-by. Had I known this, I would certainly have raised the issue.
