It’s been 2 weeks since I passed medical and eligibility review started on 27th June. Current processing time is 7 weeks and I will complete 7 weeks on 12th July( Applied non SDs from Bahrain / VO AUH on 24th May with biometrics ) Any inputs on how long it will take to get a decision , isn’t it supposed to be quicker after passing medical .. I have to resign from my job and serve a month notice,so I am just worried if I get it later than 15th July,it might be too late for me.
Anyone else with same timelines , got a decision ?

With Abu Dhabi office, expect more delay and act accordingly.
Today, my application completes 5 months in processing.

It is true and proven that God has His own perfect time. Never too early and never too late. Just trust His timing.

Approved after 2 refusals! Total of 9 months of waiting. Definitely worth the wait!

Hello Monica,

Quick question when you filed your application in Philipines while physically being in UAE .. What did you fill in IMM 1294 E ?
- Q7 ) Country of territory or Residence - UAE or Philippines?

- Q9) Application country : Philipines or UAE.



It would be a big help if you can confirm , a lot of expats working and living in GCC would benefit by just have IG clarity around these 2 questions.

thank you

AD applicants : Any update for anyone ? With Eid holidays approaching it seems we won’t have any update until after Eid.

Almost similar timelines brother , I did upfront medical which was updated on 27th June and eligibility review also started on the same day.
It’s been 7 weeks so think would give it another week before I send a webform.
I managed to call IRCC through TalkU today but they don’t have access to information for files at Abu Dhabi office.
Hope this wait is over soon !

Will contacting on a webform speedup the process? For me its more than 2 months since I have applied. The last status is BVL on 10th June.
