It's April already and time tight to go to Canada in June/July. You should have applied from India.

As you will have temporary status in the US, you must apply for a TRV when you're in India. Or apply online by giving a India address.

As you have a valid US visa, you can apply under the CAN+ program for faster processing.

Can I apply for a tourist visit Visa at the Canadian consular office in Newyork ?

No, you cannot apply directly at the NY visa office. You must apply through the NY CVAC

Can I apply online and send the passport by courier to Canadian consulate at Newyork ?

If you apply online and get a passport request, you must submit your passport to the CVAC. You cannot courier your passport to the NY visa office

Will I be called for any interview ?

Interviews are rare. But possible in some cases

I’m in a similar situation. Visiting Los Angeles atm and wish to visit Vancouver soon.

So if I understand correctly, Indian citizens on a Tourist Visa in the USA are eligible to apply for a Canadian tourist visa? Just have to apply at the Los Angeles CVAC instead of the visa office, is that right? Thank you.
