very urgent questions！please help!

I sent my passport to Embassy at Detroit to get work permit visa two months ago, and I got email yesterday it's lost during the delivery.

I need to fill in my job position in Canada very soon. I requested a new passport which will arrive in one month.

I got the 'letter of introduction' which has my work permit number from Detroit today by email, they said they can re-issue me a visa after I get the new passport, but it needs 14 days to process. But I can not wait that long time.

1. I decide to enter Canada by applying a visitor visa from New York Embassy by walk-in, and then apply another work permit in Canada. Does this idea work?
2. if I get checked by New York Embassy, can I withdraw my application and get my passport back immediately? Then I can mail to Detroit to re-issue it.
3. if I get checked or rejected, how long do I need to wait until I can apply or re-issue a new visa?

Thanks!

Hi,

You should apply your passport soon. If you already have "letter of introduction" which means your wp is approved, try to email the embassy in Detroit if you can walk-in to CHC-NYC for visa stamping since you have wp number from Detroit. As far as I know the VO can access your file from Detroit to NYC since they use one computer system outside Canada.

Work permit should be applied outside Canada
