I am an Egyptian pharmacist that's currently residing and working in Bahrain. I was wondering if someone could advice me as I am quite concerned with the processing of my PR card. I have applied through the Federal Skilled Workers Immigration program.

My timeline is as follows:
Date on which I received my ITA: 26th of November 2015
Date on which I finalized and uploaded my documents and received my AOR: 9th of January 2016
Date on which I passed my medical tests: 17th of January 2016
Date on which I was asked to sign and upload a "Schedule A Declaration Background" and then I uploaded it on the same day: 18th of January 206
Date on which the CIC said that they had started on my "Background check: 24th of February 2016

Since I am currently living in Bahrain, so I assumed my VO responsible for processing my case would be in Abu Dhabi. So there I sent a CSE a few weeks ago and just today I got a reply stating that their files do not show an active application at the Canadian Embassy of Abu Dhabi.

Can you someone please tell what the hell does that mean and what happens next from there?

It probably means that your application is not being processed in Abu Dhabi. The only way of knowing which VO is processing your application is by ordering GCMS notes.

Is there a particular reason that you sent your CSE directly to the embassy rather than sending it through the IRCC webform ?

Your PR card will only start processing after you have landed on your immigrant visa.

I assumed OP was talking about his PR application, not his PR card.

I know, but every so often, there are a few people inquiring here who expect their PR applications to be processed in 41 days as they confuse it with the PR card processing time.
