Can anyone share the name of the receiver at AD visa office (can be seen on Aramex's tracking page)?! Aramex website is showing something fishy and would like to make sure that everything is OK. Been 3 weeks so far since submission of passports.
Hi Zuz,

Did you get your passport?

Hello Fahad007 and elmario

The VFS office in Abudhabi told me that I have to pay 160Dhrms per passport as a processing fees.
and 16dhrs for the courier charges..

address:
Canada Visa Application Centre
Wafi Mall, 3rd Floor, Falcon, Phase 2
Umm Hurair 2 – Dubai – UAE

Helpline number: +971 4 2055881 - Speak to them if ur lost they are really helpful.

http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/uae/contactus.html

u can see the map just in case.

also. During Ramadan they work from 9am - 2pm.

( My consultant told me that I should write to CIC and get their permission before submitting my passport at vfs Dubai, as my PPR said I need to submit at Newdelhi office, iam really so confused now.
Can I send it by aramex directly to the Embassy in Abu Dhabi without dealing with VFS and their charges?

Yes. You can do that. Drop off your passport/s at any Aramex collection center. I did the same from Dubai.

The actual stamping is not a long process. In April 2015, I sent the passports by Aramex, and it took 19 days (including weekends). A friend sent it last month from Kuwait, and it took 6 days. So its hard to give an accurate estimate.

I am not sure they are accepting passports at the Embassy. They had stopped early in 2016, and I am not sure if they have restarted.

I sent my passport to ADVO through VFS Qatar on the 30th of October, today is the 7th of December and i they still didn't get it back.
you would think stamping a visa is a simple process. :mad:

Try calling the Abu Dhabi Embassy on +971 2 694 0300? They should be able to tell you the status.

I submitted our passports on 8 november and didn't receive them back.
I called the embassy 3 times today once you tell them you need to check ur passports as it's more than 5 weeks, the lady will tell you "let me transfer you" and then it will be the answering machine telling you to check the internet or to send a case specific enquiry.
So i send an email and submit as well a case enquiry.
I hope we can hear from them soon before Christmas!
God bless!

Hi folks,

I just submitted my passport to a VFS centre here in Dubai. They charged me a ridiculous AED 162 for administrative fees and sending it to the Canadian embassy in Abu Dhabi. Anyways, any idea how long is it taking these days on average for the Canadian embassy in Abu Dhabi to stamp the PR sticker on to it? The e-mail I got says 10 days processing time +/- 5 days for delivery from the day the receive the passport.

Any one had any recent experiences with this?
