Okay thank u so much:)
Also keep a copy of your medical and you may also send a soft copy to ADVO via Case Specific Enquiry found in the following URL , mentioning a short description of what it is .

Remember, this may not be a preferred or primary method to send medicals - only suggesting this as a redundant option - All the best.

Hi Impresso, Thanks for coming with the usual help. Yes we have received acknowledgement for our application on 7th march, but till now there is no SA. :(
my husband is strongly suggesting me to apply for TRV, so just starting collecting documents and will appear soon in Abu Dhabi, is it the same Canadian embassy which deals in TRV located in Abu Dhabi mall or the other office visit visa center located in Union Bank building on Meena street. i have been there once when my husband was here n we found them very nice n cooperative. let see definitely will share my experience here with you guys.
we hope n pray for you as well, at the moment you are the only senior member who is helping us out in every situation. God bless you!!
Hello zbaby. Any updates from your end? CIC updated their web site indicating there are now working on applications received Jan-12. Please let us know how you make out with the TRV.

Hi haldashti , still we didn't hear anything. Yes cic status changed n there is no SA for us yet which v upsetting. I saw on dec thread some member placed an inquiry to cic for not getting sa n they got inquiry response within 10days with sa. Not sure if we should place an inquiry or just wait n watch.
Yes sure I will share my applying TRv experience with you all.

Hello zbaby - just hold on a little bit long for your SA, you are not far away. In regards to your TRV , by all means go for it - get your documents in line and make sure you can prove your strong ties. The members who did apply for the visa in person mentioned that they went in person. Now it is unclear if you can go the main embassy in Abu Dhabi as Abu Dhabi Embassy does not like seeing people unless requested. So your best bet would be to go in person to a Visa Application Center (VAC) in Dubai or Abudhabi

LOL I am not any senior member - just an ordinary guy trying to help others out as much as I can , but with the time difference and being busy at work it is a little bit difficult to reply to threads right away.
Thanks impresso for this complete information. Cic is working on 12jan apps n still there is no sa for us. Indeed will try luck with TRV option v soon. Allah Kareem!!

Just submitted application for sponsoring my wife yesterday. I live here in Canada and she lives in Doha, so Abu Dhabi office is her visa office..
CIC says it'll take 13 months for stage 2 at ADVO, is that worst case or on average ?

Frustrating indeed. I called CIC today several times and was able to get through shortly after 4PM Est(20 minute wait), a lady agent asked me several questions, then when asked about my age, I hesitated for a second(I mean how often do you get asked about your age!) and answered, she says sir you hesitated to answer my question, I don't believe you are who you claim to be! Talk about cruel, long story short, I thanked her for wasting my time and hung up. Called a few times after and thankfully got through again, this time the gentleman was helpful and told me to give it a few more days. To my surprise he told me that the processing officers work around the clock.
I wish I had know about the "inquiry", I may have requested it then. Patience and prayers that's all we can do now. Good luck.

That number is based on an average ADVO calculates. Some cases are faster and some cases you will grow some white hair .
