Mostly friends and acquaintances. Today I called up Ottawa high commission, they suggested against it, asked me to reach out Toronto consulate. Called them up, she said the same thing. Upon further questioning, she said to email the officer. I have emailed the officer now.

Seems like it is doable but for whatever reason, they are discouraging. Can’t figure why!
Though there is a 3 month grace period as documented in many places, has any one found out whether exit permit application from Canadian citizens wont run into trouble because of the visa suspension. Technically the exit permit is required because of the citizenship surrender that happens while in India and not having a visa to support the stay at that point. Tread with caution. The reason why the consulate is discouraging could be because of the "special treatment" we Canadians are receiving since Sept 21.

I applied in-person at Vancouver on Sep 6th. Got acknowledgement on 12th Sep.
Hope that mine is on the way too pretty soon.
Was there any update at all before 11 Oct?
Or did it just go from UNDER-PROCESS all this while to DISPATCHED on 11 Oct?
