From the Canadian Passport site --
To avoid congestion, delays, and waiting time at its offices, Passport Canada strongly recommends that Canadians send their applications by mail or bring their applications to a Service Canada or Canada Post receiving agent. A complete checklist identifying the steps in the passport application process, as well as the location of Passport Canada offices and Canada Post / Service Canada receiving agents, is available at www.passportcanada.gc.ca or by calling toll-free 1 800 567-6868.
Theres also a listing of Passport offices in your area that you can bring your forms to for processing. I think if you mention that you're travelling soon, they can do it in as little as 3-10 days:

From the FAQ Section --
If you are not travelling by air, we suggest that you avoid Passport Canada’s offices at this time. If you need your passport for January 23, 2007, mail-in your application if you can. If you need to visit a Passport Canada office, avoid Mondays and Fridays as they tend to be the busiest days. Passport Canada’s service standards remain the same for the moment:

20 working days when applying by mail or courier (does not include mailing time)
10 working days when applying at a Passport Canada office
15 working days when applying at a Receiving Agent – Canada Post office (does not include mailing time)
20 working days when applying at a Receiving Agent – Service Canada (does not include mailing time)
At all times, to avoid delays, ensure that you present a completed application form and the following:

a proof of Canadian citizenship
supplementary identification
the photos signed by a guarantor
the required fees
any valid travel document, if applicable.

Hopefully that helps -- I need to get one soon too, but i've been slacking on getting it done.
