New York in person visitor visa Application

[Cocoon]

Hello,
I am applying for a canadian visitor visa in New York, NY tomorrow, I live in Houston and I'm flying to NY tonight. I would like to know (1) the deadline for the application to be submitted in person and (2) If my request is accepted, am I getting the visa stamp the same day or the following day?
I really need to be in Canada by Friday for my best friend's birthday so I need all the information I can get.
Thank you in advance

Assuming that you are American, you're from a visa exempt country. You don't really need to apply for a visitors visa.

I'm sorry I didn't mention that I'm on a F-1 Visa I go to the University of Houston.

for Visitor Visa Next day service is available at NY Canadian Consulate.

If everything is in shape, NY consulate asks u to come back next day. For some countries and cases, they email u next day if it is going to take longer.

I recently applied for Canadian visa through CIBT and got it approved and delivered to my home within 3 weeks from NY consulate office. CIBT did a good job as it was very difficult for me to go to NYC from MSP and stay there without knowing how much time it would have taken. It was not so costly also as flying & staying to NYC would have cost much more for me. If you have some time in your hand I would certainly recommend this.
