How long does it take to get a legal birth certificate for a newborn?

I got it 3 weeks after my baby was born.
I see you are in Canada so it won;t be relevant but just for comparison in New Zealand it takes 10-15 days (from the time they receive your application to register a babys birth), to the certificate arriving in the post.

we filed our paperwork in canada the day my son was born, and we got them in the mail with a health care card, social insurance card and birth certificate all within 3 weeks.
in two weeks it will be at the town hall in the city he was born.. in 4 weeks it will be in your hometown/city hall
I sent out for my sons birth certificate when he was born...he's now 18 months old and we still haven't gotten it... So I honestly couldn't tell you
I work for vital record and it took 2wks for my sons to come in!
