They probably won't reply if asked about processing time as the posted time is 11 months. Yes, you can send the passport by courier to Sydney, whether they will return it outside their processing area is another question. Most offices won't.
 
Thank you PMM...it's good to know that passport can be send to sydney, Australia from Canada via mail, I was not sure before as heard numerous rumour that it is illegal to do so . Now instead of waiting on my PP call I can apply for my visitor visa and be there before SNOW :)

Hi There

Theres a thread for applicants through the Sydney office. This might give you an idea of the timeline currently in Sydney and answer some questions you might have
