I want to get it as quick as possible. Maybe there are some lifehacks?
There are no life hacks. Pay for urgent processing for your passport application as indicated above and then it will be processed faster.

Hi any idea how is the urgent passport processing in person application as I need to travel in 2 weeks? I have a booking for flight ticket and valid reason.
If I receive certificate, and all the require documents, should I fill in the form online for 2 days for urgent processing?
please let me know procedure. Or anyone applied urgent passport before?
Yes, it is pretty straight forward . Fill the urgent request form , they will call you back in 2 business days or less

1. I sent my passport application via Canada Post Express Delivery with a tracking option to Gatineau, PQ address. Canada Post tracking today shows 'Delivered' to Ottawa, ON! I wonder why? Should I inquire further from Canada Post?

2. Is it mandatory to send a return envelope with your application? I didn't do it.

1. This is normal. The mail room for Passport Canada is in Ottawa. Mine was delivered there too, and I got my passport fine.

2. you don’t have to send a return envelope. They will take care of returning your passport and certificate, which may come together, or separately.
Good luck!
