hello canuck78
i highly appreciate for the response. thank you so much.
just imagine 47 weeks already gone an the processing times of UAE shows only 12 weeks..
when i direct email Canadian Embassy of UAE, mentioning that my two webforms are not responed even after 28 working days, they replied back saying, visa or work permit issues should be submited via webforms.
what does that even mean.
You should send a webform to IRCC not the embassy. Processing times are only estimates and are often not very accurate and processing times are for applications submitted today.

They must be high skilled specialized WP under the GSS program.

What's going on at UAE visa office? Someone I know filed his work permit/visa application June 2020 and until now is pending. It's frustrating.

What other ways to have someone look at or open his application?

No One know what to do with Abu Dhabi Canadian Embassy delays. Multiple webforms has been submitted no proper response. Not sure how long will the employer will wait. Another employee hired at the same time of my application from India has already reached Canada 6 months back. Anyone how had already gone through such delay and then got it done please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi, everyone! I'm posting this timeline in order to give you guys some hope about your work permit application submitted to Abu Dhabi Office. This is my brother's application who is currently working there in Abu Dhabi and submitted his application online.

Type of Application: Work Permit with LMIA (dual-intent)
Nationality: Filipino
Position: Cook (NOC-6322)
Date of Submission: October 12, 2021
Submission Confirmation: October 12, 2021
Request for Biometrics: October 16, 2021
Biometrics Submitted: October 18, 2021
Status of Biometrics Changed to Completed: October 18, 2021
Request for Additional Documents: May 19, 2022 (proof that job offer in Canada is still valid)
Additional Document Uploaded: May 21, 2022
Medical and Interview: Not required
BVL: May 25, 2022
Original Passport Request: May 25, 2022
Passport Submitted to VFS: May 26, 2022
Passport Received by IRCC: May 27, 2022
TRV Info Displayed in Online Account: May 27, 2022
Eligibility and Background Check Status updated to Completed: May 27, 2022
Application Approved: May 27, 2022

Now we're just waiting for the passport to be sent back to him. After reading all the posts about the delay in the Abu Dhabi Office, we lost hope, but this gave us the idea that all applications are different and it depends how complete your application is upon submission. I'm praying that all of you would receive your much awaited blessing soon! Good luck to everyone!
