Wow, really? I took my passport application into the Saint John office on Agar Place on Aug 6 (as per my credit card statement)and had it in my hands by regular mail on Aug 19th. It says it was issued Aug 17.
That's only a 13 day turnaround time, and I had no special rushes put on it, and since my previous passport was long expired, it was not a renewal. They asked me when I was traveling and I said oh, about October maybe, that I just wanted it to have it, not that I had set plans or anything. I'm thinking they pad the time estimates so you won't be calling bugging them after 10 days,
