FULL NY VAC EXPERIENCE
Just want to share my experience with the Canadian visa and the NY VAC. I was very scared to send my passport there considering the ultra bad reviews but I took a chance.

JUNE 25 - APPLIED ONLINE
JULY 4 - REQUEST PASSPORT LETTER (They had my biometrics from before)
JULY 10 - PASSPORT SEND AND ARRIVED BY UPS TO VAC NEW YORK @ 8 AM (LEFT IN FRONT DOOR)
JULY 12 - EMAIL: Visa application, tracking ID No. YYYY has been dispatched to the IRCC Office
JULY 15 - EMAIL: Visa application, tracking ID No.ZZZ is under process at the IRCC Office.
JULY 15 - EMAIL: Visa application, tracking ID No. YYYY – Your processed decision envelope has been dispatched from the IRCC Office
JULY 16 - EMAIL: The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. <refno> has been received from the IRCC Office on <scandate> at the Canada Visa Application Centre
JULY 16 - EMAIL: Visa application, tracking ID No. YYYY – Your processed decision envelope has been collected from the Canada Visa Application Centre in Canada Visa Application Centre, New York
JULY 16 - EMAIL: (FROM CIC) Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your account and check your application status and messages for more information.
JULY 16: UPS return tracking triggered.
JULY 17: Got my passport.

My advice are make 100% sure you are sending the right stuff, double check sending addresses, send one day shipping so its faster (same for the return envelope) (UPS works great) and relax. It will be ok.

NOTE: I read that the LA VAC works faster because they only process a few types of applications so, I would send my passport there if I do this again. (Visitors visa)

Thank you all.
