Usually it takes 15 working days (Mon to Fri). Even if you add additional time for dispatching you should be fine.

This is surprising! I emailed high commision re my PP submission and they replied next day with suffecient information.

Hey did you receive your passport? I am on the same boat. I've been waiting for almost 19 days now and there are no news regarding my passport. Can you please tell me about it?
 
Do you now have your Canadian citizenship? It has been a while for you.
Yes. I'm a Canadian citizen for many years. This application was for my wife
