How can I successfully apply for the DTV (Destination Visa) from Canada?

Several users shared their experiences applying for the DTV from Canada, highlighting that using the Vancouver consulate is preferable to Ottawa. One user reported that their application was processed quickly, with the husband's approval in 2 hours and their dependent visa granted in 36 hours. There was also a discussion about application fees, noting that citizens from certain countries have $0 fees due to bilateral agreements with Thailand, and that this applies to online applications through the e-visa Thailand website as well.
