I've been highly disappointed with the quality of service offered by the Canadian Consulat in Seattle. Bueraucrats and their stupid and inflexible rules have made a common man's life miserable. First they take your passport with the application and lock it I'll the visa is processed- which now a days can easily take upto 44 days. They I'll not see u in person , or respond over the phone, no expedited service, no customer service UNLESS u are a Canadian. Seriously??!! What is one expected to do in case of an emergency? Nothing,,just withdraw your application, and they keep the exorbitant application fee they collect with the application. I for one, am no longer spending my tourist $$$ on Canada anymore,,,thanks to the Canadian consulate in Seattle.
