It depends on the location where you will be applying for your travel document, if you are from a non exempt country. For e.g., with a google search, Sri Lanka office gives the document within 1 week if applied in person. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/sri_lanka/visas/processing-traitement.aspx

Here's the link to the processing office in India;
