Hi all,
I have applied for SP on June 10. I am employed in Qatar govt since Dec 2015 till date. In PH way. I recently travelled to India did my medicals there on 27 May. I have already visited Canada in 2019 for a week so I have BVL. (I got visit visa from Abu Dhabi as it was a bussnies trip just for a year usually they give the duration till the passport expires!) One of my friend(working in Qatar since 9+ years) also did the "PH way" but still his application got assessed in Abu Dhabi and his got his first refusal (I think he submitted it in March 14 2021and he got refusal on May last week 2021. We both are mature students I have 12 years IT experience with BE in electronics communication and applied under Masters of Engineering in Internetworking in Dal Housie University for fall 2021. I feel the overall components of the applications decide where your file goes. Both of us have earnings from middle east as salaries and both of have shown properties in our name in India. So the active banking history, and current source of income takes the precedence. So if we keep applying one day the application may land in India or Ottawa or other candain embassies and your application will be ready properly and you may get visa. Else the best option is to move completly to your hoem country and apply under SDS.
