Did you send your passport from Canada to the Detroit office to get your visa?

Did you go in person to get to your visa?

How did that work? Please tell me your experience...


Thank you very much in advance

There is no walk-in service at Detroit.
 
Sorry but. I think there is a walking service, this is a copy-paste from the webpage:

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/detroit/visas



If you applied for permanent residence in Canada and you have received a notification from our office, the Case Processing Pilot Office in Ottawa or the Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo requesting you to submit your passport(s) to our office you may do so in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:30 – 11:00 am. Your passport(s) may be returned to you the same day. You must bring the notification with you.

You are absolutely right.

You can go to Detroit office, provided that you have US visa, on Tuesday or Thursday between 8:30 to 11 am (http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/detroit/visas/index.aspx?lang=eng&view=d) and can get your PR VISA and CoPR on the same day.

I accompanied my colleagues for couple of times and we waited for 4 hours to get back passport and CoPR. The last time we went was on Nov. 1, 2012.
 
Indeed you can. I just hope they don't stop processing COPR and PR visas in Detroit before I get PR, I'm right across the river and it would be so convenient for me, as compared to mailing to Ottawa and waiting for several weeks.
