It could take up to a week to get the BIL. Normally, BILs are issued within 24-48 hours.

That's right. Processing will not start until you give your biometrics. Also, do keep in mind that IRCC processing times are just estimates. Decisions can be given very quickly or could take longer.

You have legal status in Korea for another two months. That's quite a long time. You will likely get a decision well before that. So, don't worry
Hello Baryana
Same as mirae94 i also told you that when i submitted online application they did not asked me for my biomatrics and infact they mentioned my bio matrics are valid till dec 2027 . Later after application submission they asked after 8 days for biomatrics $85 which i paid same day and after one week u sujjesed me to send email to Abu dhabi embassy, which i did and after that one more week passes no Biomatrics latter came even no email response i uploaded payment receipt online to my acount which says its uploaded .Now a days i am in USA yesterday i went to NEW YORK VAC they said me to email to Abu dabhi they cannot do any thing in this regards.
So Baryana should i send Abu dabhi again email regarding leter for BIL(biomatrics letter)?
Next week i will be in seattle usa.

I'm not hopeful but thanks. I emailed the Manila office that I have to leave Korea by March 3rd and I believe I qualify for CAN+ program so hopefully they'll send me the BIL soon.

Even if your immigration status in Korea runs out by March, you have the option of having your visa stamped in any other country that you are next in/you have legal status even if you are a visitor or a citizen of that next country

It won't help now to say this that travel plans must not be made until visas are granted (for any country).

I recommend you do not withdraw your application. No idea why the Abu Dhabi visa office has not replied to your emails. They generally do within a couple of days.

It is possible you might get a decision (if there are no background checks) when you're visiting the US. You could then change your travel plans accordingly or you might be granted a TRV that could help you for any future travels

It's been almost a week since I submitted the payment for biometrics fee and haven't received the BIL. Sent a CSE + emailed Manila office requesting a BIL. Not sure why it's taking so long. @Bryanna

@Bryanna do you know if there's a list of nationalities that are eligible for CAN+ processing? I'm a Turkish national with a valid B1/B2 visa (already flew to the US on it & have travelled to Canada in the past 10 years). I was a student from 2013 until 2018 and have travelled out of Canada to go back to Turkey a couple of times. I provided all the dates for those travels as well. I hold a valid PGWP now and am just looking to re-enter the country with a valid TRV.

Also since I applied from a country (South Korea) that is not my country of birth/origin do you think I'll be subject to background checks? I have been only here for about a month.

I also gave my biometrics yesterday and confirmed that the visa office received them. So I guess the clock starts ticking now.

How do you know that the visa office received the Biometrics ? Because it was uploaded to CIC account ? Or they sent a confirmation ?
