not really, people in toronto received certificate after 2-3 business days, you also can have the option to next day pick up certificate if they approve your request, the office works really fast, it takes 1 business day for then to process so when you get the invitation email, reply to them right away to request next day pick up if you dont want to wait and have good reason. It takes 2-3 weeks to receive the passport, I received my daughter's passport 10 days after I hung jn her application for regular service. But if you have flight ticket to prove, you can go for 10 business days for no fee, it's usually arrived earlier than what you expect. Or if you are willing to pay more fee and will go to pick up the passport it will be much faster, 2-5 business days for 50$ extra or the fastest is within the same day, I applied at 12pm and got my passport at 3pm, for 110$. They are really nice, if you pay extra, you will get to cut all the line ups, just have to talk to the guy at the gate.
