I just got this reply from Service Canada:
This is a confirmation that a File Transfer Request has been submitted as follows:
[...]
Please be advised that this email is not a confirmation that a file transfer will be completed. In addition, proof of travel or need and additional fees may be required.
We will make every effort to ensure you receive your passport by mail before the date required. Passports are mailed using Canada Post’s Xpresspost™ shipping service (more information). If we determine that this option is not feasible, a Service Canada employee will contact you to evaluate your situation and establish the most appropriate next steps.
We still have 2 weeks before we leave, so fingers crossed again...
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I was able to get the transfer request in yesterday. Our trip is in about 2.5 weeks. Now doing the whole "wait and hope we get a call from the local office that the transfer has been accepted" and hoping we don't have to do the final "fallback" option of going to the passport office 2 days prior to the trip to get the rush 48 hour process going.
I hate not knowing......
