Send application to Canadina consulate in NY by mail from Canada

[pbconnections]

Hi Sorry for the delay answering.
Unfortunately all has changed since I wrote and now the Vac in NY is closed until further notice , whatever that means.
My friends were in Canada as visitors and then in US as visitors for 2 weeks, applying for first work visa as live-in caregivers. They put US as their residence on the application. This is legal to do .
So for future reference if the VAC opens again, it seems that applying from the US with them is much faster and worth the cost of airfare and a little holiday.

I have a new thread starting a discussion of how now to apply.

Hi pbconnections. Can i just ask did your cousin submit their passport when they submitted application in VAC? Or after they submitted they get back to canada and wait for their visa in canada?
