Hello All,

Urgent Help!

I am a newbie in this forum.

It is going to be four weeks now. I have submitted my passport for PR visa stamping on 01/05/17. No updates since then. I have submitted thru VFS, Oman and it is still showing as in process at Canadian Embassy, Abu dhabi.

I am really worried. Is it normal that they take so much time to process? Any expert pls advise.

Thanks

Hi did you receive your passport - you know how everything slows down during Ramadan in this part of the world ? What date was your AOR?

Hello, I have just uploaded my EE profile and waiting for the next draw @ 428 CRS.
My residence is in Dubai and all my work experience is from Dubai, I will be going to Toronto next month on a visitor visa, hopefully after AOR. I intend to stay there during the entire process of my application and will apply for extension of my visa if need be.

My query is that though being a UAE resident, can I continue my application being in Canada. If I am called for interview, will I have to come back to Abu Dhabi or can it be done in Canada itself.

Thank you

Hi Derb,
have you noticed any update in mycic?
I submitted my passport on 21-May in Doha and today I got update in mycic that my application is approved.
my advise is to send them a specific case enquiry

Ok everyone, i am in need of your help once again. I finally received a reply for my CSE-ADVO and it was as follows;-

Dear Applicant,


This is in response to your recent email enquiry.


Please contact the office where you applied for any case specific enquiries. Our files do not show an active application at the Embassy of Canada in Abu Dhabi.

Please also consult the following website for processing timeframes and status updates: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.aspand http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp.


We trust that this information will be of assistance.



Sincerely,


Immigration Section / RA

All this time i was under the impression that since i applied from Kuwait, my application was with ADVO. So now, i want to know which Visa office has my application. How do i go about doing that ?

 

[sappy486]

Have anyone used aramex or any other courier service instead of vfs for sending passports to ADVO with a return airway bill? Could someone share the experience please. I am settled in Alain so sending my ppt through a courier company will be convenient.

• Call IRCC call centre and ask about your visa office. You can use Global Affairs Canada's number to reach IRCC from outside Canada.
  1-613-944-4000, or
• Use IRCC's web form and send an inquiry requesting information about your visa office.

Dear Hopefuldreamer,

Please write an email and in the subject line write your Application Number and write - APPLICATION NUMBER XXXXX"VISA OFFICE QUERY"

The address you should write the email to is CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

Please wait - they will reply within 24 hours and you will know which Visa Office is handling your case. If you applied from Kuwait and its not Abu Dhabi then it may be London Visa Office or the centre closest to your Home Country.

Hope this helps!

Received PPR at last on June 16th!

1) What is the most preferred method to send passports? VFS or Aramex?
2) How do carry the POF amount while landing?

2- either take the money in cash with you, or print a fresh bank statement before flying to canada showing the funds in your account.

Hi Q,
I did tried calling them but I get an automated response saying "Due to the high volume of calls we are unable to connect you to an agent". So I decided to email them at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca. and this is the reply I got :-

Dear Sir,

Please be advised that your application is at our office and is being processed as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization.

We do not require any information from you at the present time. An officer will contact you if further information is required. Please ensure when submitting documents that they are still valid and will not expire within six (6) months as this could delay your application.

Please consult our Website for information regarding our processing times:.....

Then goes on to give me links of the CIC website.
So apparently my application is in Ottawa. I don't know if it's a good thing or not but it doesn't change anything on my part. It is, however, nice knowing where exactly my application is.

@pakimom Someone had already told me about that email but Thank you. Much appreciated.

Hi All,

Maybe slightly off-topic but hoping people in UAE can help.
Do UAE banks provide the proof of funds letters in the required formats? If not, what did you show that was accepted for funds in UAE?

Thanks
