Need help### unused expired Canadian Visa & re-apply

[sitthini]

I applied for tourist canadian visa last year and I got visa approved, which was valid from Aug 2012-Feb 2013.
However, I didnt use that visa at all. sth changed and I didnt get a chance to visit Canada.


Now I plan to go on Alaska cruise which will pass British Columbia in May. So I think I will need a new Canadian visa.

The question is

1) will I hv to go to the consulate to void the previous unused expired visa? Or I can just re-apply as a normal case, i,e, like I am applying the visa for the first time?

2) I plan to go to apply in person in New york. I am confued about their office hr. Is it 8.30-10.30 Mon-Fri or Mon&Wed&Fri?

3) How long does it take to get visa stamp for in person application?


Thank you everyone in advance! Please help!!!

Apply online - not in person. Online applications receive priority processing. And apply soon. You don't have very much time.
