Hi,
I had submitted my passport to VFS on 9th May. From 10th May on wards, it shows that the documents are being processed in the Canadian Visa Office, Abu Dhabi. Its nearly a month now since I've submitted my passport and still haven't heard anything from them.
I am applying for a PR via a consulting agency and had initially received the request letter to submit the passport on March 23rd. But my lawyer who is handling my case missed this and bought it to my attention on May 8th. I was already late to submit my passport. But the same was communicated to the London office and they had agreed to extend the date till end of May (communication and agreement to extend date was via email only). I have also sent print of the email received from the to Canadian Visa Office in Abu Dhabi via VFS regarding the extension.
Can someone shed light into this situation? Does it usually take a month or more to issue the visa in Abu Dhabi office? Or is it being delayed since its ramadan and the working hours are shorter in UAE? Or is this complication due to a delay in submitting the passport?
Any help or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks
