First of all you should notify IRCC about your right address in UAE as quickly as possible. Postage time really depends on kind of service IRCC use they may send it through regular mail or may use express courier. You should ask them over email about delivery times as well.

Found this on another thread and thought it’s a good insight into the processing.
Processing Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applications: Putting the application into process
Once an application for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has been assessed as complete under R10, the application is put into process.
For all PNP applications, the processing office is responsible for:
For detailed information about determining admissibility, see ENF 2 / OP 18 – Evaluating Inadmissibility.
Section 11.2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) includes a new authority that supports the Express Entry system.
Under section A11.2, an officer may not issue a visa to an applicant who did not or does not meet the Express Entry minimum entry criteria (MEC) or did not or does not possess the qualifications for which they received their CRS score at the time when
Processing offices must enter a decision on section A11.2 in the Global Case Management System (GCMS) before an application can be finalized. All applications must be processed in the Express Entry eligibility screen.
See below for instructions on how to assess a change in circumstance that is declared after an e-APR has been submitted.
When an application is refused under section A11.2, the officer should also assess if the application can be refused for failing to meet federal program requirements. When applications are refused, all applicable grounds should be invoked. Officers should also consider a finding of misrepresentation, where applicable.
Templates for refusal letters for the federal skilled worker class (FSWC), the federal skilled trades class (FSTC), the Canadian experience class (CEC), and the provincial nominee class (PNC) include options for refusal under section A11.2, for failing to meet program requirements, or both.
Evaluating PNC applicants under section A11.2
As per section A11.2, PNC applications that come through Express Entry must also meet the requirements of one of the three immigration programs managed through Express Entry (FSWC, FSTC, or CEC).
A candidate may appear to meet the program requirements of more than one federal immigration program. When this occurs, the processing office must only determine that the applicant meets the requirements for one of the federal programs for which they have been tagged. Once the applicant is determined to have met the requirements for one of the federal immigration programs, there is no need for further assessment of the others.
Processing offices should assess PNC applicants for federal programs in the following order:
If it is determined that the applicant does not meet any of the tagged federal immigration programs, the application should be refused under section A11.2. Misrepresentation should also be considered, where applicable.
Processing Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applications: Putting the application into process
Once an application for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has been assessed as complete under R10, the application is put into process.
For all PNP applications, the processing office is responsible for:
- assessing if the applicant meets the requirements for membership in the Provincial Nominee (PN) class; and,
- assessing if the applicant is admissible to Canada
- assessing if the applicant meets the Express Entry minimum entry criteria (i.e., that the applicant meets the program requirements of the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, or the Canadian Experience Class); and,
- assessing if the applicant meets the requirements under A11.2.
For detailed information about determining admissibility, see ENF 2 / OP 18 – Evaluating Inadmissibility.

Under section A11.2, an officer may not issue a visa to an applicant who did not or does not meet the Express Entry minimum entry criteria (MEC) or did not or does not possess the qualifications for which they received their CRS score at the time when
- the invitation to apply (ITA) was issued; or
- the e-APR was received by IRCC.
- the applicant possesses the qualifications that they declared in their e-APR, as corroborated by the applicant’s supporting documentation; and
- when the applicant submits their e-APR, the information provided in their Express Entry profile has not materially changed to the degree that the applicant would not have been issued an ITA in that round of invitations.
- at the time of the ITA or e-APR, the applicant did not or does not meet the MEC, which includes the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply; or
- the applicant’s recalculated CRS score has fallen below that of the lowest-ranked candidate invited to apply in that round of invitations.
Processing offices must enter a decision on section A11.2 in the Global Case Management System (GCMS) before an application can be finalized. All applications must be processed in the Express Entry eligibility screen.

Another thing to remember since the province endorsed you, you have to stay within the same province for at least 2 years after PR. The provinces seem to be getting very hard on people who just up and leave without giving good evidence as to why you are unable to stay within the province. If the officer has reason to believe that you do not intend to stay within the nominating province your case will be refused.
Refusing the application
A provincial nominee who meets all statutory admissibility requirements can be refused a visa when the officer has reason to believe that — the applicant does not intend to live in the province that has nominated the.

You are more than welcome to enquire about obtaining the notes, people recommend Order GCMS notes here: https://www.getgcms.com
Even if you can order them they take upto 30 + days to be received. I would definitely worry about getting your current file back to you so you can re submit ASAP. Another thing to look at is the date your current endorsement expires. As @Gemini_june said your first priority is to notify IRCC your correct address ASAP.
Your new pack must be received at IRCC before the 6 months expiry date is up. I had my application returned back to the UK as my CSE with my new address in Canada hadn’t been updated in time. I received the pack 8 weeks later. Its very frustrating as it’s delayed us so much. I had to also get a new endorsement as I would have been pushing it with IRCC with the time left on it. That also was a few weeks waiting for that. I totally understand how you feel, they only bit of advice is to get IRCC to get the case in the post ASAP.
Ya it is matter of worrying..can you explain what does CSE means in your case
As they have requested me to update my po box using web form so they can send the file back
I didn’t put my education certificates in to accompany my WES certificate. They have since updated to checklist form to fully explain what you need to send in regards to education.
I was talking to someone who had the case returned as the copy of birth certificate wasn’t clear apparently! They are extremely strict on the AIPP scheme.
