Sept28, still under process too. I think I saw someone with Sept26 just got processed. I wonder if there are more Vancouver data points.
There was a google sheet, but I missed the link. Yeah seen coupole posts seems like 34-35 days from ACK.

When exactly we should go to bls and request to change to pickup?
When status changes to “processed” or “Delivery to BLS for OCI stsmping”?
There is no clear guideline on this from BLS. Last Firday @farooq.ind managed to walk-in to the BLS office (Toronto) at enquiry time and request a courier hold when status changed to "Counter delivery to BLS..." (or probably even before that). Not yet picked up I guess.

As per tracker no one with date as Oct 10 also not received acknowledgement so far. Not sure what time status changes.
I was expecting to see at least a few today. One data we have for Oct 7 got Ack last week, Oct 8,9 were hoildays, so its time for Oct 10 folks. It can still happen today (31 Oct in IST), but most Acks in the past have come in the morning hours.
The Ack slow down is showing little signs of picking back up. Too may applications I guess.
