It is in mail today. So on average it is taking 2-3 weeks for a turnaround. You might be cutting realy close, I would wait 1 more week and postpone interview.
Vinz123 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 I am in the same boat too. No idea what is happening there Applied on Sep 17th, request for passport on 4th Oct, sent the passport by 5th Oct and so far not a word from the consulate about the passport. Tried contacting them on email and they responded back saying they are going through a 2 - 4 week delay. Do let me know if you get know something @Gr422.
jaseemar Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 I am also in the same boat...I applied on Oct 10 and I want to go to Canada in 3rd or 4th week of November... If it takes this much time, I don't know if I will be able to go according to my plans... I am even thinking of changing the whole thing to India as I have travel plans in december....
srini001 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 It usually takes a week to you to get your passport back from Canadian Consulate from the date which Consulate received your PP. So, you should be getting your passport back by Tomorrow or on Wednesday.
oracle_1982 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 It will take one week to receive passport with stamp. No need to worry you will get this week.
bharatsam Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 HI, I applied for canada visa online on 17th september. Got the Passport request on 2rd October, Passport reached NY Conuslate on 4th October. But still waiting for the passport to arrive. I have Placed a one day shipping label for my return too. I think its taking more than 3 weeks. I planned on going to toronto this week, but couldnt since i am still waiting on the passport. Thanks
gopalakrishnach Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Gr422, It will taken around 30+ days to get passport in hand. In my case, I dropped my documents personally at Canada Embassy in Los Angeles on Sept 07 2013 and got my passport on Oct 09 2013. There is no way to expedite process in your case and also no in person passport returns. You need to wait and I hope you will egt your passport by Nov 1st week.
Sri2102 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Send an email inquiring about the status of your passport along with your name, DOB, Visa application number and passport number to re-CNGNY.IM-CommonServ@international.gc.ca, newyork-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca This will expedite the process. I applied for Canadian visa during the end of august. I got my approval almost immediately but, it took me two weeks to get my passport back from NY Consulate. I sent an email to the above mentioned id and looks like they had taken care of it then. It is worth a try. Good luck!
gopalakrishnach Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Gr422, I maybe wrong in my previous post. Please see Sri2102 post.

Thanks dude, you should receive your passport by friday or monday. mine reached consulate on oct 30, and i received it yesterday. it took exactly 3 weeks. I guess with the current applications, the time line is around 2 - 3 weeks for turnaround.

vabhinav9 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Hi, I applied for Canada Visitor visa online on 9/30/2013. Passport Requested on 10/18/2013 Sent Passport on 10/18/2013 LA Canadian Consulate Received Passport on 10/21/2013 Received Passport for Canada Visa on 10/24/2013. Friends I am seeing some delays in NY Consulate. I find LA Consulate very quick so I would suggest sending passport to LA rather than NY. Thanks.
