Wow, that is quite long. Thanks for the information. Appreciate it.

Both Vancouver and Ottawa jurisdiction processing is very slow in comparison to Toronto's

Thank you! You were right it did take a lot of time but I finally was able to collect it.
I will just list down the timeline for anyone who is applying for their surrender application.

20 April 2024 : Dropped application off at BLS Ottawa
10 June 2024 : Approved by HCI (but no status change online. This date is on the surrender certificate)
12 June 2024 : Noticed change in application status and pickup status was displayed on BLS website .
