Canadian TRV delayed-Detroit consulate

[saxena638]

Hi all,

I applied for a TRV at Canadian Consulate, Detroit on the 4th of June by mail. They received it on the 6th. Since I didn't hear anything back from them, on the 9th of July I send an email to the consulate. Following is the reply from the consulate.

Please update us when you get the visa back. I have applied on June28th so should be a while before i get it. For other members may be its better to go to NY for a walkin.

same here...I applied to detriot on June 26th

[Immienquiry]

Walk in?.. I thought none of the consulates support walk-in anymore and sent mine this week to Detroit.

Saxena.. please let us know if you got in touch with them and others please advise if there's a way to expedite the process.

NY branch does walkins but now the wait time is 2 days to get back ur passport

I am exactly in the same boat. My TRV documents were also received by the Detroit consulate in first week of June but I have not heard back from them since then. I have even traveled to Canada in 2010 on a TRV visa for tourism purpose. So, I thought it must be easier to get TRV second time but doesn't seem so.

Please keep us posted once you hear back from them.

Guys,

I posted my documents in last week of June for Canada visa and Detroit consulate guys received on June 28th. I forgot to send my I-94 and posted xerox copy on next day and they received on July 3rd. Do you think they will attach my I-94 with my previous documents ? Or they going to send me a query for I-94 ? Does anybody came across this situation?

[saxena638]

Visa sridarr94,

Do we have to send I-94? I just send I-797 because the check list said I-797. Our office gives I-94 detached from the I-797. I have my old I-94 stuck on to my passport which I got when I first entered the US on J1. No.s on all of them are the same.

[ravi4408]

Walkins are allowed in NY and L.A. One of my friend just went to ny and got it in 2 days. I sould have done that but thought of losing salary because of leave and also have lot of time on hand before my interview which is on october 15th.

Saxena,

Even i am not sure about I-94, But one member in this forum told me he got query from consulate about I-94 and that is the reason i posted my document next day. But you said valid point that I-94 is attached at end of I-797. May be they will consider that I-94 hopefully

Hi Saxena638,

I am also in the same boat. I applied for Canadian Transit Visa on June 11th. I posted all the required documents to Detroit through USPS (express mail) on June 11th and documents were reached on June 12th. I even got an email displaying the signature and the person who has received the package (from USPS tracking). But till now, I haven't received my Canadian Visiting Visa. The worst part is that I don't have my passport with me even if I want to go inperson interview to NYC consulate. Its been more than a month now and I have my visa stamping time slot approaching very near. I tried calling the Detroit consulate but couldn't get any help. I didn't email them. So, can you please help me regarding how you have approached them and how you have emailed them because when I tried to email them by accessing the link given in this post it is directing me to the Nothwestern university outlook.

saxena638, any update on your visa yet from Detroit office?

[saxena638]

visastamping777: this is the email id dtrot@international.gc.ca

I tried calling but the recorded message says they don't give any information about visa status.

Nishi22: I have not heard anything or received anything yet. 39 days and counting. I am not in a hurry, even then it is really irritating.

Anybody who is reading this post: APPLY IN PERSON.

[Nishi22]

Raghu_N : Have you received your passport yet? I sent mine on June 28th and still waiting.
