I did make the drive to Brampton BLS but stood in line for 2.5 hours and it didn't move at all. Security told us that they're only taking about 5-10 people a day from the walk-in line and that based on their hours of 8am - 1pm. The priority is given to appts which is around 340 a day.

I don't know if I Toronto BLS is any better. Did you try the walk-in recently?
Did it with Ottawa. 8-9 am they don't take appointments, so they quickly process walk-ins. Brampton, Toronto may have more applicants so the issue.
 
Applied on 13th september and still no ack :(
 
I was right when I said on Thursday "there is more to the story" , without international allies backing Canada would not have done so, as per yesterdays media reports on US and allies (Five Eyes) intelligence which had shared the evidence and. information with Canada. Link below

tbh, it doesn't matter to India as he was branded a "T*******" by the NIA. USA did the same thing to UBL, AL-Zaw, SH (in Iraq) and quite a few in the middle east. When other's do, it shouldn't be a problem to USA. ;)
