The timeline refers to processing speeds and pickup options for passports in Canada. Standard service takes 10 or more business days (usually around 20 for standard mail) and costs $20 to pick up. Expedited service gets your passport to you in 2 to 9 business days, but adds an extra $50 fee. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] You must visit a dedicated Passport Office (not just a standard Service Canada receiving agent) for these expedited pickup services, and you will likely need to show proof of travel. [1, 2] It would seem that the 2 to 9 day pick up window is a ensured time commitment but being offered 10 days or more is uncertain and causes anxiety. What is " or more" and how long could that take contractually. We suggest 10 to 15 days or 10 to 20 days. With this, we have an ensured time line.
