Why isn't the applicant applying for passport in the country they residing in?

If you're in Canada and need to leave the country and go somewhere else, you can ask for an urgent pick-up and get it by the end of the next day.
Also, the question isn't clear at all. What does "applying for a passport in Canada but the applicant is not in Canada" mean exactly?
