Visa Renewal in Vancouver - possible to get the same day?

I just got the confirmation letter from the NVARS reservation system and it says that:

"As of January 1, 2004, visas will not be returned the same day..."

I'm on H1B stamp visa renewal because I need to get out of the country for an emergency.

Is this interpretation correct? We can't get back the visas the same day? Because of the nature of our emergency time is of the essence and we need to get the visa the same day.

I remember when we went in Vancouver for visa stamp last June 2004 we got the passports with visa renewal the same day in the afternoon.

I will appreciate any input!

Thanks

Are you in Canada on a TRV? If so, how long an authorised stay were you given when you entered Canada?
