AIPP WP does not come under IEC that thing is sure,we may be able to attach it online because they search the file using different data i.e. UCI,passport details, job offer number etc etc. AIPP WP has different category known as C-18. My two friends moved from fajirah, U.A.E. Under AIPP. Their PR came within 3 months so they had to withdraw their WP file and got their passport back and then send them again for PR visa.Our AIPP WP category lies under "International Experience Canada' for which standard processing time is 8 weeks from anywhere in the world. However, the timeline can vary from embassy to embassy. I'm saying this because I was only able to link my TWP application online to my GC key under this category. There are others I know as well who were able to link their application under the same 'IEC" category. If anyone who's applied from Abu Dhabi is currently in the process of waiting for their WP, sharing experiences and timeline will give me some hope.
