I guess many people have experienced a delay in receiving their passports back from the Consulate. My passport reached the Consulate on April 28 and I have a flight to Toronto on May 26. I thought this was sufficient time even after accounting for delays. I don't see the passport coming on time. The Consulate had replied to my first email saying that processing has been slow due to the computer upgrade and that they are doing everything they can to get the passports out soon. I thought of driving to Detroit but by reading what people have had to say, I don't think they will let me in.
Today, the Canadian Consulate updated their website saying that they are closing their Buffalo office in June for a week as mail-in applications have created a record backlog. Keeping this in mind, I don't see my passport arriving before May 26. Fingers crossed otherwise I will have to bear the fees of the over-priced American based airlines date change fee.
