What is the difference between a motion for a vexatious litigant order and an application for a similar order?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Bernard v. Canada (Attorney General), 2019 FCA 144 (CanLII):

I am not persuaded that these authorities are manifestly wrong within the meaning of Miller v. Canada (Attorney General), 2002 FCA 370, 220 D.L.R. (4th) 149. In terms of procedure, both motions and applications for a vexatious litigant order allow the party against whom a vexatious litigant order is sought to adduce all admissible evidence and make full submissions. Both motions and applications for a vexatious litigant order can be decided by a single judge. In both, the applicant may apply for more time to adduce evidence and make submissions if that is required. Thus, in all meaningful procedural aspects, motions for vexatious litigant orders are at least as fair as applications.
