Given that visas are suspended at this time the OCI applications have increased. There has been no announcement about them increasing manpower to process the high OCI applications or anything like that. So realistically the OCI processing times will increase than what they have mentioned.

Read all previous messages. Why is it that for those who applied at Vancouver, the OCI website shows "under process" within a few days of application, and for those who applied at Toronto/Brampton it shows "no record found" until a couple of weeks after? Does it mean Vancouver is faster than GTA?
Yes. Vancouver --faster--> Toronto --faster--> Ottawa
It would also depend on how many people apply at those consulates. Toronto consulate covers the most populated areas in the entire country.
Although that doesn't explain why Ottawa is the slowest of them all.
