Hi Divyalal

Did u hear back from ADVO ?

I called VFS yesterday and they said it takes from 2 to 4 working weeks to stamp the immigrant visa.

If u dispatched on 24 means u should expect it between August 13 and August Sep 1st on worst case scenario .

Hi Osti,

We received our stamped passports and COPR today by Aramex.

My interview Experience is as follows. 60% Reason of interview was related to Job & Work Experience, 40% they want to meet me in person & want to see the original documents.

I am writing this post to share my interview experience at Abu Dhabi visa office on 24/07/2016.

I reached the Canadian embassy in Abu Dhabi 30 minutes before the interview time. The security guard looked at the interview letter and my passport. I was requested to submit my cellphone and wait in the waiting area till my name was called.

After some time, I was called by the visa officer inside the interview cabin. The visa officer was a very polite and friendly lady who greeted me when I entered the room. She first asked me for the passport to confirm she was talking to the right person.
She said this interview was conducted because she wanted to meet me in person and see all my documents. She was kind enough to say that if I don’t understand anything I can ask her to repeat and she won’t be offended by this.

She then asked for schedule A and asked me to sign it. Then she asked me about my work experience and about the company I was working in. She asked me about how big the company was, how many employees were working there, what was the turnover of the company. Then she asked me to describe my role as an accountant which I did in detail. During this time, she was taking notes. After I finished she asked me about quarterly reports which I prepared when working as an accountant which I explained in detail. Then she asked me how did I managed the payroll function which was again explained by me. Furthermore, she asked me about one of the job duties stated in my job description which I did pretty well. Till now she seemed to be satisfied with my answers and asked for the reference letters and the pay slips which I provided. She took a look at all the documents and smiled.

She asked for my educational documents which I provided. She went through all of them and seemed to be satisfied with them as well. She then asked for the police certificates which I provided.

After that she said that you have passed all the stages in this interview and I am satisfied with your work experience and education.
In the end, she then returned all my documents and wished me best of luck.

I hope for the best. May Allah help us all.
