Abu Dhabi Resident-Applied Online For Work Permit

[Pikandpok]

Dear All,

My husband applied (19 days ago) for LMIA exempt work permit online, together with an OWP for myself.
He has been nominated by Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.

My question is:
We live and work in Abu Dhabi, UAE, therefore our online work permit application will be processed through
a.) UAE (which according to cic website, takes 5,5 months) or
b.) through our country of citizenship (which according to cic website takes 3 weeks) or
c.) there is a pool /department, only for online applications, which deal with all the online applications worldwide?
The timelines mentioned above that we've found on cic website are informative timeframes for work permit applications, it doesn't state if its paper based or online.

Also, when we applied, we selected that we are residents of Abu Dhabi, UAE but there was a thick mark in one of the forms, where we could choose where we want our application to be processed, therefore we chose our country of citizenship.

Which of the above processing times are we looking at?
Please advise!
