Visiting Visa for Canada
I would like to mention my Canada travel visa experience with dates:

12/09/19: Submitted online application.
12/10/19: Got email about bio metrics submission.

As I leave close to NY city VAC, chosen the appointment for bio metrics on 12/13(even though 12/11, the very next day appointments were also available). I've tried to schedule on USCIS website as well but the earliest date was 12/24/19, literally 2 weeks from the day I looked up, and this 14 days wait time is minimum if you chose USCIS location.

12/13/19: Bio metrics at New York VAC. Same day IRCC website updated with the information that they received my bio metrics.

12/14 & 12/15: Weekend

12/19/19: Consulate asked for passport submission.

12/19/19: Took money order and submitted the passport at UPS location and chosen premium delivery option available. (Next day air)

12/20/19: Passport delivered to VAC and sent to consulate on the same day evening.

12/21 and 12/22: Weekend

12/23/19:
10 AM message saying passport received by consulate.
12 PM message saying visa is issued and sent back to VAC.

12/24/19:
Passport received by VAC and ready for pickup for UPS by 12 PM.
5 PM: Passport picked up by UPS.

12/25: Holiday.

12/26/19: Passport delivered by 12 PM.

Total processing time 17 calendar days including 5 holidays and 2 days I delayed myself for bio metrics, so I can say 10 business days in total.
