more correctly N.A.'s 5th largest urban area...

New York, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto.

Wasn't including Mexico in North America, LOL, but in that case, Mexico City is the largest.

the City's Building Permit website info is synchornized with the City's computer database either on a daily or instantaneously basis

what this mean is, since the permit application was submitted on Sept 9th, no status changed has occured on this permit

on a separate note, it is not possible for building permits to be pulled in advance of site plan approval and zoning amendment (which are to be considered by Toronto Community Council on October 7th, followed by City Council's adoption and appeal period thereafter

Perhaps they were told informally that its a done deal and they are starting to prepare in advance of formal approval?
