Apply gcms notes so you know what's you application status. Try sending them one more web form. If nothing then reapply Thats too long your application could be assigned to offline officer.

I think that’s just how slow the wp application process is so slow here in Abu Dhabi.

Thanks for sharing your experience with webform, so there is still a little chance to get some info after even 3 months
Yes and I mail to Abu Dhabi embassy also the reply from Abu Dhabi embassy was “If a work permit application is not for employment in a critical sector, it will remain in queue for processing; however, it will not be prioritized.”
And also got mail from IRCC Canada it was like this “
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We are happy to confirm that the information you provided was transferred to the responsible office which began processing your application in Canada. Rest assured that they will communicate with you if further information is required.

So these were the reply from them
