What kind of additional documents they asked for?
They asked for "proof that your Canadian Citizen sponsor is currently residing in Canada or will reside in Canada when you become a permanent resident." And they asked for a Police certificate. I'm living with my husband so we wrote them a letter about how we plan to move there once he gets his PR, and sent that along with the police certificate :)

Thank you for your reply, so I count 15 months starting from march which I received the acknowledment or when my file was transferred to Abu Dhabi (Jan 8 2014) ? Is medical received a good sign and I got my acknowledgment from Abu Dhabi but ecas still says application rceived . anyone know why ecas is slow with updates?
No Worries - Yes Roughly about 15 months from the time Abu Dhabi receives your application. Remember medical is only valid for about a year. There are cases where Medicals were requested for a second time, towards the end of processing the application.

I am guessing ECAS is really busy with all the applications and like anxiouswife said , updates could be in a few months. Hope this helps.

I am assuming my application was transferred to Abu Dhabi in November because the sponsorship approval came through on 29th October, but still I only received acknowledgment from the Abu Dhabi on 28th Jan 2014. So that is normal too, to receive your acknowledgement a few couple of months later
This is correct that it may take a few months to receive your acknowledgment. On a separate note, when I applied for my Canadian Citizenship, it took about 4 months to receive my acknowledgment.

No problem. Well I'm the one sponsoring him. the proof they wanted us to send included a canceled permit or end of benefits contract from work (but I don't work). But at that stage people don't cancel so we wrote to them saying if they wanted me to cancel and go back to Canada we would be willing to do that. Now just waiting for some sort of reply or change to in process on ECAS. its been like 3 months since we sent them the Additional Documents. I hate the wait its so frustrating.

Sorry to hear that - what was the reason for the visa refusal ? Just hang it tight for a bit longer, you are almost there.

Thanks! I hope your process is a speedy one as well. Yeah i heard that people do beforehand, but I mean at that stage we had no idea how long it would take for his PPR. So I mean its already been 3 months since we sent the docs and there is still no sign of anything whatsoever. If I had cancelled I would still be living away from him. I will share any updates...lol just hoping there is an update soon as its getting frustrating :( I'll order the CAIPS Notes next month if we don't hear from them till then.
