Dear Chouhans,
1- If you are residing in UAE then you should apply to London office.
2- You need to pay 550X2 for two of you.
3- You have to declare your son on the form, whether accompanying or not.

Hope these responses will help.
 
Hi Biblo,

I am advised to send initial application to NS and then followed by full application to London.

Is that right?

Hey guys,

Anyone who can share their stories about working in Canada???? How are things as compared to the middle east.........
 
Dear SJ2009,
Should i suggest that you also post your timings on trackitt.com . You seems to be doing fairly well with your application. Apparently with this pace you should expect passport request anytime by now.

Would you like to share your Medical Experience with us. (complete details)
Thanks,
 
Hello all!

I didn't apply yet but i think you need to breakdown this application process into two periods. Before Dec. 2008 and after Dec. 2008 or during 2009. I believe the process and timeline is completely different for applicants before and after Dec. 2008. Having said that, some of you observations are correct for applicants from other countries like UK and Ireland. You have to understand that Canada is part of the commonwealth and their system was and still linked to the UK! Beside the obvious they prefer immigrants from UK over immigrants from the Middle East/SE Asia.

Good luck to all!
 
Hi Biblo,
My medical is not yet done, Planning to do it on 15 th of Sept.
 
HI Pammi,
I did not receive any AOR from London office after my full docs.

Status changed today from "application received" to "in process".
I am still waiting for my medical request letter and also still no 2nd AOR from London.
 
hi trina....thats a good news...your AOR is on its way....when did they start processing your application?

you may also check the "LONDON 2009 APPLICANTS Thread" ...you will be inspired by our co applicants in London who got their medicals already....

i know we will be receiving it soon.....
 
Hi birdtocanada,

Can you share your Medical Experience in Qatar... What the Doctor has checked and what went on for physical check up if there was any...

This will be great guidance for people waiting for their Medical Request...

Thanks in advance...
 
mjm,
We completed our medical in Qatar on Wednesday. The process we went through;

1. We had to go to the DMP beside Sofitel Hotel to pick up forms that had to be filled, and a request for chest x-ray, blood and urine tests that were to be carried out at the designated lab.

2. Went to the lab with 2 passport photographs for each applicant above 5 years, and copies of our passport, and got all the tests done in one night. Results were sent to the DMP's clinic by the lab itself, and was there by the time we got there for our physicals the next day.

3. Physicals included height, weight, BP, and an examination including eye test by the doctor herself.

4. We were told the results would be sent to London by TNT that evening or the next morning and we can call to get the tracking number the following afternoon.

Hope this helps.

I would like to post my timeline as a by-line, but I am clueless on how to do this.
