Hello everyone!

I have a couple of things to ask.

1. Did you bind the documents? or paper-clipped or stapled? or just arrange them loosely according to the checklist's order?

2. about the mailing address label written in the official language fo the country of residence, did you really have an arabic written name and address?

I am really ready to send them thru courier now except for these things..
Please let me know..
Thank you.

- Used Paper clips for thinner bunch of documents. Used Clip Binders for thicker bunch of documents. I strongly discourage using staples for any purpose.
- I got the mailing labels written in English and Arabic but this is not critical. You can get both written in English.

Hi I'm new here,
Anyone who can advise me, I sent my application just last month and the recipient CIC received my application on 21st Oct. 2014, how long will it take them to open and start processing my application? Thanks God bless

Hi all from Dubai,

It's high time that we start our 'own thread', like others are doing here !!!

I request all to post your timlines here and get connected. Firstly, it will sail us thru on this long agonising waiting period. Secondly, thru networking we can help each other on info sharing and act as morale boosters. Thirdly, we'll expand our 'Friends-Circle', both here as well as post landing.

Quite a few of us, in Dubai, are already in touch with each other. Some are thru, some just applied, while some are waiting for our PPRs. Let's expand the network... what do you say buddies ?

Warm regards.

Kabayan,

Maybe 3 - 5 months before you receive PER. If you use credit card for the payment then you will receive a notification from your bank 1 week before CIO send you're PER.

Hi All & good morning
I am a Pakistani national but working in UAE. I sent my full application package 3 days ago to CIC office in Sydney. Smiley
They will be receiving it today or tomorrow. Now I sent my resident visa copy of UAE also showing that I live and work in UAE.
My question is , is it fast or equal to apply from Islamabad, Pakistan or from Dubai, UAE in sense of processing times and all.
How much total time is expected these days ? I checked the cic website but the time there is just toooo much like 27 months. Lips sealed Lips sealed
Waiting for an answer. Cheesy
Thanks.

Canada job market is not easy unless you are lucky enough to get job in your field.

You might struggle intially 3 to 6 months and may be doing jobs other than your profession for survival

Not scaring you, but this is the fact when you migrate to Canada

Any suggestions where HR jobs market is good ? I have no relatives or friends in Canada please advise which city to choose specially keeping in mind the opportunity?

Seniors please advise

Its a new application; they ll not consider it from June.
on the returned file; they sometimes right UCI number with pen; if it was there and u have noted that; u can check it on ECAS once they update any status in relation to ur file. Good Luck

Dears,

I need your advise. My wife applied for Canadian Immigration 4-5 years back in Dubai at NASC (North American Service Center). The last time we visited NASC was around 7 months back. They told us that our application was denied. If our application was denied, we need to get a refund right? at least for the AED 6,500 we gave them for the fee for 3 of us? The first time we visited them they asked AED10,000 at the same day for their fee. We gave them another AED 6,500 for the fee for me, my wife and our daughter. After few months, they told us they need a copy of our papers and each photocopy of our papers cost AED 50 X 40 papers = AED 2,000. We regret of not pushing them and I think they didn't even submitted our papers and was simply taking money. Is there a way to check if our application was applied? Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

HI....Ask for proof of delivery, if they dnt, then ask when the application was delivered.
Email CIO mentioning your name/passport number/DOB/Country of Birth and ask for status....if they reply that they cnt find your application, then take this email copy along with all the letters of your communication with consultant and log a complaint with Consumer Protection...
I got my money refunded in the same way... All the Best
