This could indicate the document is ready for dispatch. If Purolator does not show it yet, you may still be in luck and could pickup from BLS.
BLS status is not always reliable and several people have faced missing updates for "Counter delivery.." or "ready for dispatch.." or no tracking number even after dispatched.
The rest is opinionated, but I'll still say it:
Its quite possible that BLS had your OCI yesterday when they sent you away. Or they received it this morning but failed to update status. In my experience, their work ethics is poor, and not always do what they claim to have done -- like really checked your document was in or not or really put a hold on your courier when you requested etc. Also when they say things like it will take 2-3 weeks after "processed", its just BS. Do not fall for it, and request to talk to a knowledgeable agent or to a supervisor. There are good people in there who are helpful and knows their work.
@eas2lv Well now the Purolator status shows it is already picked up from BLS and estimated delivery is tomorrow, which means the guy at BLS that day never put it on hold. Also, yesterday they said they don't have it yet and today Purolator is picking up from them. This is all so pathetic and in the end common people suffers because of their ignorance or laziness or whatever the word you want to use (I don't want to use those here).

If tracking code indicates it is picked up then call Purolator and try to pick from there warehouse or if the status shows that tracking code is generated and go to BLS and pick it up.

@niswe It is picked up and already checked with Purolator, not possible to pick from warehouse. No other option but to have it delivered tomorrow. And that's how my OCI story ends with me rescheduling my flight.
