"DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

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.

Once you received PER, Your file will be trasnferred to London visa office which is most unpredictable visa office on earth...
There is no as such rule or benefit applying either from UAE or from Pakistan, it varies on many cicumstances esp travel history etc.. I was infact born in UAE- Applied last year in July 2013 and till now no updates, and those who are in pakistan, many have got their visas and infact few of them have even landed in canada..
Keep your fingers crossed..
Good Luck..

Hi
Always specify the correct address.otherwise you will never recieve your applciation.CIC doesnt send by courier.they send by normal post and when it reaches UAE it will sent to respective post offices depending on PO BOX.you can specify PO BOX of your office.then someone from your office either admins or HR dept collect the post recieved on that POBOX and then by seeing your name they will handover it to you.

Hope its clear.

QUICK HELP ME: I applied under FSW and in my form in box 4. Immigration Office requested for the processing of your application
I wrote Sydney Nova Scotia coz I read it online in a blog. Now I read CIC guideline and it says write you visa office. Which is london I think in my case as I live in UAE.
So what should I do ? Please quick tell.

The local VO that you have entered in incorrect. And it says so clearly in CIC's application guide.

Which date did you submit your application ?

I believe CIC may rectify it themselves and will forward your application to LVO.

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

What do you mean by CIO? Is it Consumer Protection in Dubai?

Thank you.

Dear All,

I submitted the passports for stamping the visas. Its mentioned on the CIC website that visa process will take 10 working days but my consultant told me that it will take 1 month to get the passports back with visas.

Hi all want to reconfirm about the travel dates outside country of origin or residence.

I had been to China on business trip between 26th Jan and back on 7th Feb. This should be mentioned as 12 days right?
