Links please - or do you have personal experience of issuance of a PRTD from London High Commission? (It's not an embassy).
He may not get his PRTD on the same day if he went personally but I don't think it would take a week. My PRTD application sent by courier to Mexico City and back to my house took 7 days . Years ago I needed to renew a temporary work permit ok not a PRTD but still a immigration document, I was supposed to send it by mail to Vegreville but I asked and got the CBSA at Emerson to issue it.then and there. Not everything you read online is 100% exact.

Ah, so you didn't apply for a PRTD to London then, let alone go in there or any other high commission or VAC personally. Work permit's generally can be issues at the border, so getting one from Emerson isn't really comparable at all.
I'm not even sure you can walk in to London High Commission and apply on the spot, or whether you have to go through the VAC. Better not to make general statements that he can 'get it the same day if he goes to the embassy' that may be relied on, if it aint necessarily so.

Let's keep everything crossed for him, regardless.

London or Mexico City its the same application and procedure but Mexico being a 3rd world country things can go slow so I thought 7 days was pretty quick,can London do better?

Offices outside Canada

Visa offices

IRCC visa offices are located in Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates. They process applications for:
  • permanent immigration
  • visitor visas (temporary resident visas)
  • study permits
  • work permits
  • refugee resettlement
  • travel documents for permanent residents abroad
From this page
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...c/offices.html
I hope everything works out for his son too.

Yes they PROCESS them - doesn't mean you can walk in and apply though Hence VAC's Not being contentious, but I don't want anyone to be misled into thinking it's a 1 day process by walking into the High Commission, when we don't know for certain that the OP's son can actually GO to the High Commission in London to apply for the PRTD or whether they have to go through the VAC. https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/UnitedKingdom/

Some friends of ours who travelled back to the UK recently without up to date PR cards had to apply via London. I think it took a week or two. They knew they'd have to do this though so they weren't in any particular hurry.

As mentioned previously, a few times, a VAC is a Visa Application Centre.

Not meaning to go OT but Mexico isn't a 3rd world country. It isn't even close to being a 3rd world country really it's just much poorer than the other 2 large nations in North America.

The London VAC and HC do seem to have a pretty good reputation when it comes to PRTD turnaround times though if the info on forums like CanadaVisa is to be believed.

My wife is Mexican and she confirms that Mexico is a 3rd world country and having lived there for 2yrs (not in a holiday resort) I agree.It should be a 1st world country but one of the main problems is corruption, its ingrained into society,government officials and politicians steal money from the people and everyone know it.Millions of people live in abject poverty.

The same could probably be said about the United States and quite a few places in Europe to be fair.

Mexico was a 'Third World' country during the Cold War, i.e. non-aligned. If you're referring to its current level of development then it will depend on which metrics you use but neither the UN nor the IMF consider it to be a 'first world' country (very high HDI/advanced economy).
