Hi JoyceLam, you said TRV could be only applied out of Canada, but you still gave the address in Canada, can apply inside Canada?
Anyway, I applied to Seattle, because I live in BC, just want to say, I sent my application by Fedex, also I bought a returning envelop , so that the visa officer sent me the visa with that envelop, otherwise , they sent it by regular mail that would take more than ten days. I tracked by the tracking number. I sent application forms on March 8th, and they received the next day morning. After 14 working days processing time, I tracked , it was sent out on April 1st, stayed in Vancouver for the weekend , I got the visa on 4th morning.
This is the address of Buffalo office.
They have an address in Canada. in this way we don't need to mail an internation mail.
Here is the mailing instruction:

Enclose one envelope in the other envelope. This second envelope we will use for when we need to mail you. Add the documents you wish to send to us.
