For aerial photos, the processing time is the same as regular photos.

Copyright law was amended in the spring of 2012, by Bill C-11, rectifying the injustice that had prevailed until then, when the copyright of photographs subject to order belonged by default to the customer.
Canadian photographers are now the primary copyright owners of the images they produce, by default, as are illustrators, musicians, painters, and writers, among others. This applies as much to photographs commissioned by a client and paid for by the latter as to photographs taken outside of a commercial context.
Consequently, it is no longer necessary for photographers to have their commercial clients sign an agreement stipulating that the photographer is the first copyright holder of the work produced; the law now guarantees them this property by default. In addition, no use is possible without the written consent of the copyright holder.
Immophoto is a real estate photography company engaging full-time photographers, the copyright belongs exclusively to Immophoto. Immophoto assigns a user license for marketing the property to the real estate broker who ordered the product. No other use, distribution, resale is authorized without the written consent of Immophoto.
