It's Member of Parliament Office. CIC actually has a "dedicated CIC MP inquiry office" and members of parliament in each region have the right to use this service to follow up on immigration files from visa offices overseas. I learned about this from a friend of mine who had her MP contact Abu...

Yes, when my file was transferred to Abu Dhabi July 2012, they acknowledged it Oct and sent me a request for additional documents on early December asking for the residency questionnaire. Then in January 2013 they asked for a police clearance from Saudi Arabia. Those were the main ones. Now I...

I think it was just the agent responsible for my file. I was with my husband in UAE when I sponsored him, and according to our relocation plan, I moved back to Canada July 2013 anticipating that he would get his visa within a month and join me here. Even though all of our documents were complete...

I'm probably the last one to get a decision on a 2012 application. Almost two years, but finally we got the passport request today, so I thought I would add an update to this post :) cheers

Actually my husband got the passport request a few hours after I sent this post! I am relieved that this long process is finally coming to an end! I hope you all get great news this month as well! Good luck to everyone :)

Hello Everyone, Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to get a passport request once the medical is resubmitted? My husband received the medical request from AD visa office in January and completed it January 13,2014. He sent an e-mail on the 25th to inquire if the results are received...

Thank you scoobydoo33 & loveu. I hope we all hear from them soon. We did receive AOR from the office in December, and on eCas it says that they started processing our file in November 29 and that medical results are received.

Hello Everyone, We started our sponsorship in May 2012. The file was transferred to Abu Dhabi in July and they started processing it in November. They requested documents from us couple of times: Once in December, then January and finally March. We submitted all the required documents and have...

Do you still have a residency/Iqama in Saudi Arabia? My husband was also asked to provide a police certificate from KSA because he lived there for more than 6 months after the age of 18. However, they wouldn't give us a request letter even though we told them that it is required in Saudi Arabia...

Welcome to the forum canada14. I am in the same place as you, I live with my husband in UAE and I have started the sponsorship application in May 2012. Now because you have a UAE resident visa, you are considered a Canadian citizen living exclusively outside Canada. I remember one of the...

Congrats nole73 and bonitanita. Enjoy your weekend and let's hope the rest of May applicants get the good news before the weekend too :)

I agree with everyone that this is beyond frustrating, whether you are inside or outside Canada. I chose to stay with my husband outside Canada and apply because I didn't want us to be living in separate countries for an unknown period of time. Yet, I had to put my career life on hold because I...

Hi bonitanita, could you please add me to the spreadsheet? I tried to send you a message, but I keep getting an error. Application sent: May 22nd, 2012 AOR: July 17th Sponsor Approval: July 23rd Visa office: Abu Dhabi Thank you :)

Thanks alish. I sent my application on 5/22/2012 and received my AOR on 7/17/2012. I'm not sure how I can share the timeline like you guys. I heard I have to have around 10 posts to start that.

Great start of the week! I received my approval today. I hope it is a positive week for all May applicants! Let's hear the good news from you :)

Well.. I guess it'll be Abu Dhabi after all! I received the approval today from CIC and they chose to send the application to Abu Dhabi visa office even though we requested Cairo. So, we have to deal with them now.

Thank you tender_heart. We asked for Cairo. I just hope they don't send it automatically to Abu Dhabi one! It looks like you had an unpleasant experience with it. I hope everything goes well for you.

Thanks missmini. I guess I'd worry about that after the file transfer. I received the AOR from CIC and I'm waiting for the sponsor approval. Good luck with your case!

Hello May applicants, I've been reading the posts here and I wish you all the luck. I am sponsoring my husband and we both live in UAE. We sent our application on May 22nd and we received an e-mail today, July 17, stating that CIC in Mississauga has received our application. I hope we get the...

Hello everyone, Thank you all for the advice. We submitted our sponsorship application and chose Cairo visa office. I received an e-mail today from the Mississauga centre stating that they received my file on May 22nd, 2012. I still have to wait for the first approval and see where they will...
