Hi I got the mail saying-We have finalized your application for a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa.

Please note there may be a two week delay before your documents are returned to you by mail. We ask that you wait for the mail to arrive before requesting any further information.. Any idea what this means and how long it will take?

I had applied to Ney York Consulate via mail. They received the package on 17th May.

Applied through Mail for myself and my spouse, and my parents separately
Application Reached- May 17th
1st Email Sent -June 17th
2nd email sent -June 18th
1st reply received saying the application has been finalized -Jun 18th
2nd reply received saying that they have sent the documents back on June 18th- June 19th
Received my parents' stamped visa and documents-June 19th by priority USPS(I had sent a self addressed stamped envelope)

Our documents haven't arrived yet though. I dont know the status of my visa yet.

I had specified in the email that my parents need the passport as they have to go back to India soon . I dont know if I should assume that they sent only my parents' documents as they understood the exigency of the situation.
All I can say is, I was wrong in thinking that they wont take any action. In fact they replied to every single mail I had sent. I had only specified that application number and they were kind enough to request me that in future, I should specify the full name and date of birth.
There are Good Samaritans everywhere as the total turnaround time was 30 days.

Hi Prad12,

in PP request letter, do they mention which consulate to send the passport. Or can we send to any consulate (NY or LA) ?

No, you have the choice to send your passport to either. Do choose LA. They are at least one week faster than NY.
