TRV processing in NY Canada Consulate - Recent

[nj_ottawah1b]

Hi

I applied on March 8th for TRV and still waiting as of April 9th.

From last week I did not see any update on who last received the passport for TRV.

Last I noticed was, person who applied on March 1st received passport on April 4th.

Please update if anyone got the passport who applied between March 4th - March8th.

Thank you.

Hey I applied in-person on 11th March still waiting as yours. Please keep update once you receive the passport. Thanks!

I applied online on March 7. They requested I mailed my passport on April 1. It was delivered in NYC on April 2, and still no news...
I sent an envelope for express delivery, no information on the tracking # yet, so it hasn't left the consulate. I wanted to travel this weekend, I'm rescheduling my trip.

There is info here on processing times for LA. I also wonder how long the NYC office is taking to stamp the passports

I applied for Canada TRV on Mar 12, 2013. I have not received my passport yet.
Please let me know if there are any ways to find the visa status. I tried calling NY office and 1-800** number on consulate site, no response.

I emailed to newyork-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca today morning, waiting for the response.

Hi magicfox

Did you applied in NYC- by Mail- ? btw how you checked that your money order got processed?

Thanks!

 

[magicfox]

Yes, I mailed to the Consulate in NYC.

To check the money order status, I went to the bank with the Money Order receipt, in my case, it's BoA.

Hi magicfox

My Guess is that we will get the application status by this week for those who applied on second week of march- because till last week i was hearing from people who submitted first week of march. We will keep our fingers crossed.

Senika,

I hope so too. I'll update this thread once I get "anything" from them.

Hi msreeeni

I even thought of sending an email to NYC- I believe i would get the same response as yours since my was applied on 11th March- but one thing i couldnt figure out that even in website it was mentioned as 20 days to process for NYC- then what else it could be the reason that is still in Queue for processing.

Thanks!
