Not read any such scenario in this forum. You will be the first, so give it a try.
Passport was never optional. You could show the receipt, that you applied for passport. Now that is not allowed and they need passport too.
-> If someone wants to do submission in Toronto.

Given the huge demand for visa services in our jurisdiction, we are glad to inform that BLS will be accepting walk-in applications at their GTA offices on Sunday i.e 5.11.23. CGI Toronto will continue to process the applications expeditiously

I have my Oath scheduled on Nov 8th and planning to get Passport asap, most likely using urgent or express pickup. I will be travelling to India for indefinite period. Is it possible to apply for entry visa for now and apply for OCI while in India?
Once you have the Canadian passport, you can surrender your Indian passport and use the receipt to apply for entry visa. Previously this could be done simultaneously, but you can verify that with bls or someone else here who did so recently.
According to the govt site you can do so after becoming a resident i.e. being in India for a continuous period of 6 months. However I do not personally know of anyone who got OCI from India.
I think pick up is during weekday only between 3:00-4:30 plz cross BLS Ottawa jurisdiction page
