For whoever this might be helpful: I received my PCC for citizenship this morning. My application was submitted on Mar 11th - so it took me exactly 4 weeks to get it. I pre-paid the Purolator pick-up/ drop-off fees for BLS since there were no available slots in the timeline I needed it in.
I had noticed that the status said my PCC was ready for issuance during the whole week of March 28th so on April 6th I emailed the consulate - April 7th it was printed, April 8th it was dispatched to BLS and ready for dispatch from BLS - and received it today, April 11th.
Uploaded to IRCC webform, no confirmation but assuming this is not out of the ordinary. Will wait and see what happens in terms of next steps for citizenship - the timeline now says 27 months for some reason.
