Jenpin,

how normally much time they take after addition documents ???
Hi Chati,

Is Abu Dhabi your Visa Office?

It is really difficult to say how much time is taken after submission of additional documents as each application is treated on a case to case basis. After the submission of additional documents, if the Visa Officer is not satisfied, you may be asked to attend an interview. This is what I gather based on what I have read on the forum and I hope somebody else can also answer your query.

after submission of addition documents what is major reason for rejection ??
there could be a lot of reasons starting from criminal backgroud to qualifications etc.. the list can go on forever... trust me rejection should be the least of your concerns if everything is authentic, its their incompetence in doing their job that should be the concern... if you're lucky enough, things will go smooth and you should get ur visa in less than 8 months... i have seen cases where it took as less as 6 months to get the visa... it really depends on every case as JenPin said...

Thank you very much for your CAIPS request and payment via PayPal - I can confirm that I have received both and have sent your request to CIC today. Based on other recent file requests, I anticipate receiving your file back in around five weeks time, but please rest assured that as soon as your file arrives I will get it straight to you.

Just an update

App. Filed.......: Date on which application was filed
AOR Received.: Date on which you received you UCIno from Mississauga
File Transfer...: Date on which Visa office sends you you file no

Yes It means that you file is transferred to Abu Dhabi they will contact you once they receive file which is about two months.

I hope this helps.

Yes this letter is issued to the Sponsor, It has file no and UCI no both it is issued from Mississauga.
However Applicant receives file no only from the Visa Office.
All the Conversation between you and your visa office occurs through this no.
Also you can check you status online https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en
