I'm on the same boat and very apprehensive about this whole process. Have still not heard anything after three emails to the consulate. Vikram, let us know if you hear any contact from your fax/email. I also have a trip scheduled for the April 23 and am dreading the possibility of having to cancel or change my plans.

Where did you find information about sending in prepaid envelopes? How did you send them prepaid express envelopes without knowing the date they will be mailing it back to you?jds2013 said:
I see nothing on the CIC site about this.
Under the instructions for sending your passport (once you select which city you'll be sending it to) they say:chemezlaboo said:
"To submit by mail or courier, you must include your passport, a copy of the request letter, as well as a Pre-paid flat rate U.S. Postal Service "Express Mail envelope" (9"x12")with the following information:
A complete mailing label on the return envelope showing your full mailing address in the "Deliver To" field and the address of the Canadian Consulate General in New York in the "Return Address" field
A daytime telephone number on the mailing label above the recipient address
If you chose to not provide us with such a return envelope, we will mail you via regular mail (US Postal Service First Class Mail)."
It's a flat rate envelope, so you just put the label on it with your address and pay the stamps. The tracking number becomes "active" once they put the envelope back in the mail.
I sent a flat rate envelop instead of Express Mail. Later I realized. How can I get to know the tracking number once they send the mail?msreeeni said:
I checked with USPS, they said at this point they cannot convert flat rate to express mail
Cong! to all who received the visa.
and wish good luck for all in Q including meSo Gents
Thought I would update:
Today, I got my TRV, Multiple Entry, 2 Years Valid. So My time line looks like this:
March 8th 2013 - Online Application submitted
March 30th 2013 - Request For Passport Notification
April 10th, 2013 - Passport submitted in person in NY Consulate (Drop Box)
April 17th, 2013 - Passport Collected in person, NY Canadian Consulate.
Now before you guys jump on with your questions, a few further clarifications:
Mine was a Business Visitor Visa (class B1), I was sponsored by my employers in US and our subsidiary in Canada.
I have an upcoming trip to India on April 25th, I went to Canadian Consulate prepared to withdraw my application in order to get my Visa.
I filled up a withdraw application form and took a number, after about 3 hours, went to the counter, told the lady my story and she took my papers and I also provided her with my India trip itinerary and a letter pleading urgent processing alongwith the Withdraw form. The lady said wait, waited for another hour, called again asked when I deposited Passport said so, wait again. This time waited 45 minutes, called again handed over the passport along with Visa stamped.
She did say that they are now processing the turnaround / mailing for March 2nd week. Infact, there was another guy who was there with March 2nd week application who also got his passport back with Visa stamped - his was in the mailroom and they got him that from there.
So, Good Luck guys!

Hi Vikram295
Really nice for your narration and congrats. Mine was applied on 11 march in-person in NYC- so since they are processing the march second week, is that any way possible for me to expect this week. Since most of the cases i hear from other folks are online submission- but i did in-person submission
Thanks!
