Visa stamping in US

[canand]

Hello All,

I have applied for work permit online. I received a message from CIC yesterday saying a decision has been made on my TRV and requesting my passport. I was also provided a link to determine where to send my passport. I was hoping it would point me to either LA or NY, however it seems like the choice is left to me. My question is does it matter where I send my passport. Personally, I would prefer LA as I have been reading that the processing time is faster there. However, I also remember reading that the NY office does not process work visa applications. As, I understand I am only being given a TRV as of now and the work permit will be issued at the border? So perhaps it does not matter whether I send my passport to LA or NY?

Appreciate any helpful comments.

Thank you!

As New York doesn't process work permits, it goes to LA who will issue a TRV for a worker.
