HI guys. Just joined . Very informative thread. Biometrics registered on 7th July : Abudhabi .Got BVL letter today from Abudhabi VO after more than 5 months. What's next ...PPR or refusal ?
I'm sorry to hear that.. I also got refused by Abu Dhabi VO and I think we have the same refusal grounds.
Timeline:
Nov 07 - application lodged - SP only (Philippine nationality based in Dubai, application submitted to Abu Dhabi office)
Nov 16 - biometrics completed
Dec 01 - reviewing eligibility
Dec 14 - BVL and refusal letter received
GCMS notes will arrive on January 15 so will reapply right after I get it.
Refusal Grounds:
1. family ties in canada and in current country of residence (UAE) - I do not have any relative in Canada and all my relatives are in Philippines which I clearly stated in my SOP hometies with pictures so I do not understand why 2. purpose of visit - I submitted LOA from Centennial College + tuition receipts cuz I paid the whole first semester and half of 2nd semester and my total proof of funds is CAD 75k so I do not know how else would I convince the VO that my purpose is to study. 3. current employment situation - I am currently working and submitted certificate of employment (in fact I am outsourced by a government authority in Dubai) so I also don't understand why 4. immigration status - Valid worker visa submitted so I also don't know why
