13 Oct 2012 : Recieved a call from aramex delivery parcel containing my passport with visa on it including letter stating that your "application to work in canada has been approved. You may now travel to Canada".
I had been reading this tread for couple of month and the only suggestion that i can give is that once youve got a notifiaction from them requesting you passport i woud suggest that you drop your passport in person to collect it at the same
And always be thankfull to the up above and keep praying
But in my case I sent them police clearance and passport on 23 sep and still waiting.
By the way I did a mistake that did not send airway bill so have to go there In person
Hoping to hear soon as wait is really killing me
