Hello everybody,

"Katyyy" mentioned that the embassy replied to her employer's inquiry email with the following:

"We are currently operating at about 2 months for low-skilled workers and 6 weeks for high-skilled workers."My questions are:

1- Is it correct it takes 2 months for Low-Skilled workers and 6 weeks for high-skilled workers to get the visa?

2- Who are the high-Skilled and Low-Skilles workers? What are the positions under each? or how to define them.

Thank you very much and good luck to all.

TIMELINE: 1 August 2012 : Application submitted at the Abu Dhabi Consulate
15 Sept 2012 : Sent an inquiry and got a reply a week after regarding the application being process and processing time
usually takes 6 months. I don't think that sending the inquiry made a difference because i'm the only one
who submitted the inquiry.
2 October 2012: Passport request for the 2 applicants but the third one was being required for IELTS. Weird because we did
apply for FCA position only.


Annab: we all do have the same LMO number/employer. yours will follow. dont worry everyone its just a matter of patience ok. God bless us all

@hcsantos19: This is, indeed, very good news! Mabrouk! I just have one question, is your profession now (here in UAE) same as you are applying in Canada?
 
Hi everyone,

Reference to my inquiry referred to Katyyy's received email from the embassy, I found th efollowing that might be beneficial to you all:

- Low-skilled workers: are the ones with NOC types C and D.
- High-skilled workers: are the ones with NOC types 0 (management), A and B.

Good Luck.

Thanks for your reply
But
The next test is by november 17
Dont know what to do
And it takes 15 days for the result
However my employer requested the embassy to omit the test
Because my occupation is not a regulated one besides it dosen need any formal education
Lets see how it spins

that's what i've thought, u might run out of time, check some other testing center or universities here in Dubai (theres so many here) to if there are earlier schedules of the Test... I doubt they will omit it since they've already requested for it... Anyways we'll see....

But I would advise to keep searching for IELTS test center while waiting for embassy's reply.
Don't loose hope.

btw, when is your deadline for submission?
 
no updates in my side yet.
File received by embassy in Abu Dhabi: Sep 6, 2012
Hope to hear good news this month !!
