NO - you would have to submit your passport to BUFFALO ( or other Canadian Consulate in the USA if the file gets transferred there - New Yorik, Detroit, Los Angeles, Seattle).

I understand this is difficult for applicants for India, but those are the current rules. You would have to find a way to get your passport there.

The rule used to be - Buffalo or other consulate in the USA. Only the principal applicant would have to attend the interview if called.

But I just found this in the most recent OP 25 (p. 21):

"Note: Other visa offices may be called upon to conduct interviews for the Buffalo visa office
should the need arise. These interviews may be required to confirm aspects of the client's
eligibility, including the need to interview family members as part of the application process."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op25-eng.pdf

Only a small percentage of CEC applicants get called for interviews. Don't let this stop you from applying.

Hi,

I am also in the same situation. Now if you get your passport with PR visa stamping what happen?

for example, you send ur passport to us with ur friend. He get it stamped and returned it back to you in india. Now when you travel, did immigration officer of india and canada ask you that how come you get your pr visa if you did not trravel US that time???

Did anyone faced similar situation? Please share it.
