5. The interface to the visa application web site / office is like a black hole. There is no way you can even ask why your application is not being responded even after 60 days. No telephone, no mail ID that can reply to. The whole system seems to be
a rude automation of some 19th century port pass system.

As someone who had to deal with Canadian Immigration for more than 2 yeas, I can say they are not so burocratic as Europe and USA, but not even nearly as easy to deal as the Brazilian Immigration :).

Anyway, just to help you and eveyone else who wants to contact immigration, here is the page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp

And since this Wikimania is in Quebec, if for some reason you need to talk with Immigration Quebec (not necessary for a tourist visa, but you never know), here is their contact page: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/coordonnees/telephone.html

To that miserable scenario, Ranjith's wrongly worded mail brought me some good laughter as I get to open the mailbox.
Thank you Ranjith. :-)

Now few facts among the many:
1. I have a long travel history since 1992 running through Europe, Americas and Middle East.
2. Well established reasons to show that I must / will get back to India after this short visit.
3. I hold a US B1/B2 visa valid as on date.
4. There is a 'clickable' and identifiable hotel booking and travel booking in my name.

Canada, for a whole lifetime, I always adored you! But now I feel sorry for you!
