Would you know if we could withdraw our documents and apply to or send it to another consulate office?

I think you can call to helpline number and check with them. There should be a process to do that I hope in case someone has emergency. Which consulate you want to send it to?
I keep thinking that interview option is so much easier, it takes maximum of a week from start to finish if someone get dates.

I think if you withdraw, the best way to go is to try and find an interview date like @DropVisa did. Although theirs was not exactly the same situation. But they still had to find an appointment themselves. @jkdf wait the week out if you can

This is just sad, honestly. It used to be so straightforward
I know, I had my last stamping in Canada too and took a week. I am frustrated because they didn't even pick up my application yet. It may easily take 1-2 weeks after initial status change.

If mine is any baseline for change to application received, yours will prolly get there at most next week. Im hoping it will be much sooner. What craziness.
Do you know if at this point the last update date means anything in terms of them working on ya application ?

Hopefully!!
Your update means they are working on your application. Yours may change to administrative process soon or they should ask if they require any documents. In some cases between these random updates and administrative processing there is usually 2-3 days. And then 1-2 days to issued with any luck. So you may get by next week.

No i doubt, in my case i did dropbox and was called for interview which opened up new dates for me to select from. I know many people who login everyday and couldnt find the slots that I was seeing. So, my assumption is there are different dates reserved for dropbox or they accomodate you in. Do not withdraw application hoping to get a slot in regular appointment. At this time, when you have waited almost a month, I wouldnt recommend withdrawing and applying to other consulates, you may end up waiting longer.
