Me too .. submitted on 31July via Aramex.Thats sad,i submitted them on 31july and was expecting them to return soon but according to that seems its not gonna happen
I am the same like you,14 days,lets keep each other updated
thanks for the info... a month is too muchA quick update: I submitted my passport at VFS Dubai today. The guy at the counter told me that it would take anything between 15 to 30 'working days' and as per recent trends people have been waiting for a month to get back their passports!! He said that if the application is for a visit/tourist visa then it is generally stamped and returned within a week, however, since in my case it is a PR visa and they have to prepare the CoPR document as well hence it takes longer. I also asked him if there is a way to fast track the stamping and he told me that they do it only for 'medical reasons'....I'm hoping for the best and shall keep you guys posted on the progress.
I doubt thats the case since even passports that were sent via vfs arent recieved yetMe too .. submitted on 31July via Aramex.
I have a hunch, people who submitted Passports via VFS gets it a tad bit earlier than people who couriered their Passports via Aramex or FedEx.
With the current trend .. i will have to wait, at least till end of next week.
Did you submit via vfs or aramexsame here. i submitted on the 30th of July and still waiting!! everything is pending in my life (my vacation, my Visa....) waiting for the passport to come back!!!
that's worrying as it means 30 days (only 5 business days per week)I am also very frustrated. Tomorrow will be day 21 for me. I too don't get what's taking so long. Ironcially stamping of the passport might take longer than my application did. lol
On the CIC website it says it takes 20 business days. Maybe that is the reason? If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I will call.
If it takes 15-30 working days then that means that we might need to wait even after eid vaccationA quick update: I submitted my passport at VFS Dubai today.

Not even a month,they are talking about up to 30 business days !!!!thanks for the info... a month is too much
if i had known medical was one of the ways of getting passport back i would have faked something lol... nothing contagious though which would revoke my PR lol
Yes, a month seems like a lifetime, especially when you are parted with your passportthanks for the info... a month is too much

Precisely. And that is what worries me the most.If it takes 15-30 working days then that means that we might need to wait even after eid vaccation
Well, I would say 30 business days is the worst case possible scenario so you should be able to receive your passport before Eid holidays I guessDid anyone try contacting abudhabi vo on phone??
