I think it actually might not matter where you apply your passport (or at least for ON and east folks).

I applied mine on last Tuesday from Montreal and when I check status today, I saw that it's printed and sent out from Ottawa. I also saw few other posts similar to this. And no, they didn't call my guarantor.

Hi Everyone, is there any advantage to apply in a passport office versus service Canada? I know that you can pick up in the passport offices only. But timewise is there any difference?

No. There is literally a note on the tracker stating not to pick it up until the date indicated on his receipt...

Your passport has been printed

Check your receipt for pick-up instructions
Your receipt details the date and location that you should pick-up your passport.
Your passport will not be available before the pick-up date printed on your receipt.
He was able to pick up yesterday. Pickup was supposed to be coming Friday. There was no issue in picking up early

I was in and out in an hour. Opted for urgent and 10 year validity. I E waited long enough for this (decades) so that’s why I paid extra for urgent passport.

Nice. That's a quick one.

So, what's next ? What are you going to do ?

I get used to wait immigration processes too much therefore I applied to Nexus right after receiving my passport. It's waiting time is currently 12-14 months and can't wait for that :D like a Stockholm syndrome hahahaha
