You can reach any Thomas Cook office.
1) First call Thomas Cook and check what is the INR amount on that day for CAD. (forex rate when I took DD is 1 CAD = 57.3 INR)
2) Second you have to make a DD from any bank (you should have account in this bank otherwise banks wont provide you DD if the amount exceeds 50K INR) for "Thomas Cook India LTD" and payable at Hyderabad
3) Get a photocopy of your passport and CIC Payment Form and go to Thomas Cook branch along with the DD taken in INR
4) Thomas Cook will give you DD (with 6 months validity) with CAD in just 15 min
But Thomas cook is issuing DD for Bank of America (not Canadian bank).
Shah2014 in the previous post mentioned that it is risky to take DD from International bank which has branch in Canada.

Addendum to our previous assumption of DD being safe
There are 2 types of International DD (Needless to say that DD should have 6 month validity)
1. DD drawn on one of Canada's Local Bank [SAFEST OPTION]
2. DD drawn on one of Canadian branch of International Bank [better than CC, but still NOT SAFEST]
ONLY DD # 1 (just like Biwi # 1) is SAFE i.e. DD drawn on one of Canada's Local Bank. Make sure you get a DD DD drawn on one of Canada's Local Bank. If your local bank/agent offer's DD drawn on one of Canadian branch of International Bank DONT TAKE IT. SAY NO TO SUCH DD's to remain healthy and TENSION FREE!
The issue with DD # 2 is that International Bank may decide to close their Nostro in Canada and decide to cancel ur DD if its not encashed within 2-3 months.
P.S: Lot of text is repetitive to emphasis the matter.
