Hi,
Thanks! Actually, I already had taken back my passport; they emailed me today and wanted me to bring them my passport to finalize the process. However, I had sent them a couple of status check enquiries.
Just to give an update, I received an email from Canadian Consulate at Detroit saying that my visa is ready.
I had submitted my application in person on April 28th and was subject to mandatory waiting period.
My guess (as I explored different cases in the forum) is that those who are subject to mandatory waiting period and submitted their application in April are in the same position as we are. (One reason that I'm saying "April" is that a friend of mine submitted his application 12 days after me...
I submitted my application in person on April 28th at Canada Consulate-Detroit and I'm still waiting. As far as I know, there is no way to expedite the process. In my case they even didn't say anything about my application status. Did you mail your application to the visa office?
I have the same problem. I submitted my application in person on April 28th and haven't heard back anything yet. Are you subject to mandatory waiting period? Did you apply for a visitor visa?
