You can send your application to Buffalo.

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/imm/visa_temp.aspx?lang=eng#REQUIREMENTSALL

If you are in Canada with a temporary work permit and need to apply for a TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA to travel abroad, please provide:

* A photocopy of your current permit and
* A letter from your employer or other proof of current employment.

The validity of your temporary resident visa (TRV) may not exceed the duration of your study/work permit or visitor record. If you intend to have your Study/Work Permit or Visitor Record extended you should do so before you apply for a TRV.


REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA APPLICANTS

Documents not in English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation

1. Application form for a Temporary Resident Visa (IMM 5257 PILOT PROJECT) (PDF* 214 KB)
2. IMM 5257 Schedule 1 (PDF* 84 KB)
3. All applicable items indicated on this webpage along with those shown on the Document Checklist (PDF* 28 KB) (The Guide "Applying for a Temporary Resident Visa Outside Canada" will help you to complete the application form properly. The Guide also contains important information on such issues as your status while in Canada, your permitted length of stay, the issuance and use of single-entry and multiple-entry temporary resident visas, documentary requirements for travelling with children, etc.)

No, you don't have to send an itinerary. You just have to send a copy of your work permit. A member has posted she got her passport back in two weeks.

You can send either to Buffalo or Seattle:

And yes, you would have to send your passport. Where would they attach the visa if you didn't :)
