I am an Abu Dhabi applicant. My husband is in Canada. We applied in October 2013 and my current online status says 'In process'. My medicals have been updated on Ecas and I had received additional documents request in January 2014. So everything is progressing smoothly I think but very slowly. It has been 10 months since we applied.
I applied for a visit visa to Canada two weeks ago and I got a 8 year multiple entry visit visa!! So I am planning to visit my husband and wait in Canada until the PR comes through as we just cant be away from each other anymore.
I have a few questions now - If I receive a request to do my medicals again, can I do it in Canada itself as a panel physician approved there? And then if I get the passport request, do I have to come back to Abu Dhabi to send my passport to the embassy or can I send it by courier from Canada itself? I will of course once I get the passport back, leave Canada and enter again to do the landing but I thought I would just fly to somewhere close in the US and enter again.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Please let me know the best way to go about this.
Thanks
