URGENT : Delays in Canadian consulate in Seattle for visit visas?

[ssuresh]

Hello All,

I have applied for a Canadian transit visa with Seattle consulate for my return trip from France to USA via Toronto during first week of May. It has been 2 weeks and I have not heard back from them.

I read couple of forums where people have been complaining about delays at Seattle consulate in terms of visit visa processing. Since Canada treats transit visas same as visit visas I am wondering if this will affect my travel to France.

Could someone help me with the following:

1. Has anyone on this forum succesfully applied and received their transit/visit visas to Canada recently?

2. Are there any delays associated with Canadian transit visa processing esp in Seattle?

3. Can I go and collect my documents in person although I submitted my application via USPS?


Your response will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Suresh.
