    Anyone refused after waiting for long time ??! PLEASE SHARE!

    Applications from UAE (or processed at UAE) usually take very long time (among the longest processing time in the world!) The current processing time for UAE applicants according to CIC website is 17 weeks <--- You can check my timeline for the details You can also check these posts to see...

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    I am not Egyptian Thanks :) Well, there is always a probability, but it's better to start arranging with your university soon to defer your offer in case the visa got delayed, It's always better than losing the offer altogether. So just ask them if this option is available, and until when...

    Anyone refused after waiting for long time ??! PLEASE SHARE!

    There is no clear answer to that, because there is no set rule that they follow, it will be different from an application to another. But usually in the normal cases, the longer you wait the higher chance you have for approval. They usually send rejections within the first 6 weeks.

    Pakistan. But in my experience, those times are not always 100% accurate. they are just a good indication to give you a reference about the timeframe, but it will be different depending on the case (can be shorter or longer) Always glad to help. good luck with your visa

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    There is no way to make the decision process faster. All you can do is ask about the status, or request GCMS notes. I certainly DO NOT advise you to visit the embassy in Abu Dhabi, as I did this already and they don't allow anyone in. I saw people from Oman that came all the way to AD just to...

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    I also completely agree to whatever He20155182 told you, print everything and go to VFS, don't leave until they solve this issue. They should be able to help you. Maybe your submission wasn't successful because you didn't include your application number in the email subject? or maybe you forgot...

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    Congrats for the approval bro! We were talking about the letter of introduction. And yes, it is very important to have it printed before traveling to Canada, as it will be required by the officer at the point of entry in order to give you your study permit. Without it, you will face delays and...

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    Thanks! wish you the same. Delay is definitely a good sign, most rejections (based on what I've read) are released within 4-6 weeks, there is no strict rule about that of course, but we are talking in general. The standard processing time for Pakistan according to CIC is 9 weeks, so you are...

    You can't apply through the consulate. Your only option is to apply online: http://www.cic.gc.ca Or through VFS: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/UAE/

    Got Passport Request from Abu Dhabhi Embassy , Passport Already submitted !!

    That's not bad, if they know that they did this by mistake you are all good. It's just about time now I didn't get my passport back yet, but according to VFS tracking it was received back yesterday. So I'm expecting them to contact me on Sunday or Monday to collect it

    Got Passport Request from Abu Dhabhi Embassy , Passport Already submitted !!

    Call VFS and ask them what to do. Most likely it will be an internal miscommunication and they will ask you to ignore the request. Unless if they lost your passport which will be very bad but let's not be pessimistic. You can also submit a case-specific inquiry and ask about the issue, but it...

    Bro I just noticed, my status in VFS tracking has changed to: "Documents for visa application, tracking ID No.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx have been received at the Canada Visa Application Centre, on 17/11/2016" Does that mean my passport is ready?! ::)

    Abu Dhabi Embassy... Anyone still waiting?!

    Oh, good luck then. Sometimes universities allow you to apply only for the upcoming semester, not the one after it. But anyways, some people could go just in time for Fall 2016, not everyone missed it. Just try to get an offer letter from the university (even if conditional offer) as soon as you...

    If i applied online how ill get the passport request

    Thanks bro! wish you good luck this time around... As for your previous question about the time difference between paper and online applications, yes sometimes there is. But there is no clear rule about it, some people said online is faster, and others said the opposite. In my personal opinion...
