Just got a new Canadian Passport through the High Commission
in London. Took just under three weeks, using Special (24 hour)
Delivery both ways, one long weekend and a phone-call
(from the commission to me, to clarify a question on the
application). Better than the four- to-five weeks that
Canada House routinely warns callers.

Interesting....

Does anybody know how long it takes to get a first time application passport from inside Britain? I'm now applying for my passport but I've been living in Britain since I was a kid and I wondered if anyone else had done this, and if so how long did it take/how much red tape etc was involved etc etc etc....Any feedback would be gratefully received!

I am about to renew my Canadian passport here also. But where can I get proper passport photos in London. Does anyone have some places. I live in North London, in Barnett.

Kind regards
Anele

You don't need the standard Canadian passport photo - the kind you get here for UK passports is fine - that's what I used for my passport when I had it renewed - though I did check first.

I have to renew my passport, its out next month. My Visa (indefinite leave to remain) into the Uk is stamped in my old one . Will they send that back or attach it to my new passport? Is the renewal application the same as the application for first time applications?

You will get your old passport back. I believe that there was somewhere on the application that asked if you wanted it. I went in person so that I could make sure everything was done properly and asked them to make sure I got it back. They had no problem with it.

Here is a link of the places that do Canadian passport photos:
