Great! Thanks for letting me know. Did you submit your application by post?

Can someone please confirm is the address to post documents to BLS in brampton is same as the address for their physical location and If I can post documents via UPS or Canada post?
 
Yes. I applied by post. It took around ~50 days for me to get back my SC
Thank you for this information - very helpful and relieving :)
