"What we're going to be moving towards in the next couple of weeks, definitely by the end of the summer, is that Islanders will be able to not only make the application but actually go pick up their passport within 10 business days at the Service Canada centre in Charlottetown," she said. If you need to travel in less than 7 weeks, you must make an appointment at a US Passport.
