Hi
No glitch, its dispatched ..not received today but may be tomorrow or Monday depends if its holiday tomrw for Purolator. Go ahead, they are doing it fast as they understand the urgency.
BLS lady said standard is 2 weeks but also said it will come early like 3 -4 days .
Why the call center agents always exaggerate the processing times. I thought BLS Counter ladies do the same as well. For OCI they told me it can take anywhere from 5-10 months lol

The last I lined up at 40 was for Surrender Certificate on Sept 22nd I believe. I reached at 12:45 pm and there were 3 people ahead of me. They let me in at 1:15 pm. BLS Brampton’s 40 building. I absolutely had no idea people line up early morning and I went completely uninformed, so I guess I was lucky. But 60 was super crowded. Also now that entry visas have started, I don’t know how things change.

Then entry visa is your best bet. But with no of application increasing keep an eye on processing time and get some leeway if possible by rescheduling the travel dates.
On BLS site for toronto it says 45 days but on this thread someone said they got it print and process same day so curious and asked for suggestion if it's worth a try or no!

Yes there will always be first mover advantage and it will be great if they continue with the same speed for all.
