I am an Indian Citizen and currently living in the United States. I have Student Visa for the United States. I am travelling to India from United States and have a 2 hours layover in canada.
I applied for the transit visa (online application) on 18th of October. It's been more than 20 days and my application status is still in the processing. I checked in the CIC website and the official processing time for a transit visa is 8 days.
I have to travel in the next 20 days and I am super worried about the delay. Whom and how shall I contact to anyone who can help me on understanding why is there a delay or to get the application reviewed faster?

You can also email your local US visa office. If you don't get a decision in a week's time then you may want to re-book flights that do not transit through Canada
Hi, I tried calling, emailing the local US-LA and NY (Canada visa office). However, I didn't get any response. I am really frustrated. It's been 30 days now. Is there no other efficient way to contact the Canadian embassy to speed up my application, as my travel dates are coming soon and I am not getting any other flights for the suitable date.
This is my first experience with the Canadian embassy and I really hope that others are not facing such a cumbersome process that I am going through.
Re-book your flights if you're concerned. You shouldn't book flights through a visa-required country without the visa. I hope you get the visa in time, but be ready to re-book.

Unfortunately I was not aware of a transit visa requirement before booking, I feel Air Canada can be more proactive for their customers, its still ridiculous that a transit visa takes so many freaking days.
