Hello, please all those of you who have applied and got a reply or are waiting for a reply ... share your timeline.

I applied from Karachi (paper based) application on 28th October. I tracked my application and it’s say it has been received by Islamabad CIC. Does that mean that the process still hasn’t started? As the applications go to Abu Dhabi.

Processing time is so long for us! Btw when I tracked my application it says application is received by Islamabad Canadian high commission ... does that mean the process hasn’t started? Because our applications go to Abu Dhabi.

I am not sure where they process the application but some how if you connect your application with your profile on cic website , you will be able to see the progress and progress does not tell you about the location where they are processing your application.
