1. In which city should i opt for applying the VISA interview (I am in Jersy city) I have shortlisted Toranto is it OK? - You can opt for any of the 7 canadian cities. List is available. Go to - "https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==" and select non immigrant visa type. You will see canadian cities.
2. Whether Bio-metric is Required? - No, not required.
3. How long it take to obtain my stamped VISA from the consulate in Canada. It depends on the processing times of each city. - https://travel.state.gov/contenthttp...it-times.html/
4. How to plan it so that i can return in maxi of 5 days - You will have to get your petition documents prepared and fill in the DS160. You can schedule the interview based on the location availability. Remember, you will have to apply for Canadian visitor visa as well which may take between 2-4 weeks.
