Masha'a Allah! I've been away from the forum for almost 10 days and there were tons of positive updates!
Congrats to ThornHill, shoaibac, goalcanada, Mirzamybaig, amir82, Mish, sharedknowledge, outstandingguy, Masshunter, sherry34, soundless, canadian2013 and special congrats to Maria for receiving Visas! My apologies to anyone I could have missed.
Now it comes to my update: By the grace of Allah, yesterday I've collected the long awaited Visas and CPRs from My consultant yesterday!. Here I would like to thank all of forum mates for mutual support, guidance and solidarity during the hard times.
For all who are still waiting especially Rawdah, I would advise to keep waiting with faith, your time will come in due course, it's hard though, I admit.
My story with Canadian immigration goes back to March 2008 when I was fooled by a newspaper Ad by a "fraudster immigration consultancy agency" in Abu Dhabi who were the greediest and the worst I've ever seen in my life. They have charged me $3000 without doing anything, I still don't know how did they send my application without my signature! The result that my application was rejected and they didn't even bother to check or to inform me although after receiving the refund check! That was in 2010 if i wasn't mistaken, after that in late 2011 I met in one job by accident a person who happened to be a Canadian PR and he was the person who referred me to my current consultant who was really an honest and reputable person and thanks God after more than 3 years of struggling we got Visas in hand. My advice is: Never lose hope, your time will definitely come! below my timeline:
July-August 2011, signed a contract with my consultant and started documents preparation.
March, 2012, application submitted and PER received
March, 2013, Processing started and updated schedule A was requested.
Jan, 2014, VO replied in response to CSE that my application is under background checks and it might takes months to complete.
May, 2014, updated schedule A, fresh UAE PCCs and military service form were requested.
June, 2014, MR received!
July, 2014, MR done
July, 2014 PPR1 requested after 3 days of medicals uploaded.
August, 2014, E-cas updated with DM, PPR2 request, Visas issued.
I would like to wish everyone a prosperous and successful life ahead in Canada and may Allah bless us all!
I am definitely in but for October 5th. I won't be able to make it in September due to this assignment.
