Canadian consulate in Kansas
Kansas is split, and the split follows a city. Kansas City stays with Chicago so that the metropolitan area is not divided down the state line, while the rest of the state is Denver's.
Which consulate covers Kansas
Almost all of Kansas is served from Denver, 550 miles west. The exception is Kansas City, which Canada keeps with Chicago so that the metropolitan area is not split down the state line.
Read literally, that exception covers Kansas City and not its suburbs. Overland Park and Olathe sit in the same metro and fall to Denver. Worth a phone call if you live in Johnson County.
