Toronto Passport Office
This is the location that you would have to go to in order to get Rush or Express service on your passport. Mailed applications take up to 5 weeks these days, while dropping off your Canadian Passport application at an office like this one should take just 2 weeks without even paying extra. You can even skip the line by following my Epass process linked above which means pre-filling most of the form online.
My friend went to the Toronto Passport Canada Office at 3PM on January 23rd 2008 (a Tuesday), and was in line for less than 10 minutes. There were only about 30-40 people in the office itself at that time. I bet that most lineups aren't too long these days until a crunch time hits (eg: When Passports will be required for land travel or near holiday travelling times).

Click here for Toronto locations of Receiving Agents or Canada Post Offices that can accept Canadian passport applications. These offices cannot accept urgent or express applications, requests for modifications, or forms without a guarantor's signature. Even then, they will take about 5 weeks to process your application. It is also my understanding that these applications still require that you send away your identification (eg: birth certificates), they just don't go through the Canada Post mail system.
Name Change
Do I need a Guarantor to sign the renewal of my passport if I am changing names? If so will a lawyer be able to do so or will they need to have known me for 3yrs? Being new to the city what if I do not have someone whom has know me that long???

Excellent info. It took me less than 15 minutes on 74 Victoria St, and I wasn't first in the line!

Thanks a bunch for your efforts here. It saved me a lot of grief!
Thanks and Advice for others
Thanks for this info, I found it to be quite helpful. Depressing that we need a third party to make it this easy. I wonder how much we pay each year in tax dollars for the government site?
Anyway, we went there today and learned something. They will ask at the pre-screening desk when you first come in if you are traveling soon, the correct answer to this question is "YES" not "no." We said no and watched as several other people were serviced ahead of us because they were desperate. Nice if you're desperate, sucks for us more organized lot. Nevertheless our wait time was one hour. We arrived at 8:05 am on a Wednesday.
Arriving at 8:00 meant we were able to park on the street. By 8:10 that wouldn't be possible unless you're lucky.
Big Thanks.
Excellent info. How sad is the fact that you have to look up a third party to find the right info. Most government sites are, well, don't tell you much. Thanks again.
