In Canada, the standard passport processing time is about 20 business days. However, faster options are available: express service can deliver a passport within 2 to 9 business days, and urgent service can get a passport ready by the end of the next business day. These expedited services require visiting a passport office in person and paying additional fees, with urgent service costing about $100 extra, and express service about $50 extra. There is also a new government guarantee promising passport processing within 30 business days or the fees will be refunded, although mailing time is not included in this guarantee.
