Canada Visa

I finally got my passport back today with the Tourist visa on it.
The folks on this forum helped me a lot - thank you everyone!
Also here are some takeaways that may help others:

Takeaways:
1. You may be able to get your biometrics done earlier than your appointment date with the ASC. I went a few days earlier to see if they could accomodate me and they surely did. The genetlemen at the ASC told me that since it was a fairly lightly loaded day he can accomodate me.
2. The money order needs to be made to TT Services and not to VFS. The CVAC site mentions both on seperate pages!
3. The CVAC status reporting is messed up. The initial status it seems is always "document is missing". My package arrived there at noon on 30th April. It wasn't added to the system unitl 9:41 am the following morning. Then for the whole one day it just stayed there at the CVAC.
The customer rep. at on the CVAC Chat told me that I won't get the email related to trackign id untill they send out my passport to the IRCC. He however was kind enough to provide me that beforehand on chat. He could look me up by my name and dob.
4. The CVAC Chat is a hit or a miss. If you are feeling jittery then keep trying to ask the rep on chat. There are some good ones like Aaron C, who would go above and beyond to help you.
5. USPS updates their system a little late so your packet might be enroute but the updates online will be visible only after several hours.
6. For the USPS return evenlope, put both the From and the To field as your own address.
7. When USPS folks punch in the To address in their system, they don't specify the floor number or the organization name. This got me a little nervous :).

Hope this helps. Best of luck to all.
