question about passport request stage

[mapleleaf2014]

Hi, I have been looking at the amazing spreadsheets, which show all the different stages. WOW! I have a question that will help with planning purposes.
If passports are requested by the visa office once approval has been given, would I have to attend in person? Could I send these from Canada if I was there on a visit? Also, I would be applying for a dependent child as well, would I have to bring my son if I have to attend in person.
I am assuming that not everybody has to attend for an interview as I can see the category 'waived'.
Thank you.

1. No, passport requests don't involve an interview, you mail/courier your passports when they are requested.

if you are on visit in canada normally it is 6 months.it depends on visa office hw much time it takes for process.If you were not given extension then how can you leave with out passport.

yes, good point, I guess it would depend on how close I was to the end of the six months, or if I had an extension. Thank you for your replies.
