What does it say exactly under "Review of Eligibility" for you that makes you think they have not started that stage yet?

Ok thanks. I just noticed that my status changed for the background Check where it now says "Not Applicable". Maybe because this is a TRV?

Ok thank you.

  • My Background Check just changed to "Not Applicable". Not sure if there is any significance to that. "

Good luck
 
Hello there!

Is anyone here got their result from may? I did my biometrics May 12 and I am still waiting for the result.

My sister and her family applied on May 30 thru vfs paper application, they already received correspondence letter informing about their biometrics yesterday. Praying for positive result.☺️

Dear All,

I am planning to apply for visitors visa from UAE to Canada by next month.

My question is will there be any issue in getting my visa approved if i had a express entry profile before.

Your valuable comments will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Zee

Have you received the validity of biometric letter (correspondence letter)?
Btw, they applied in vfs abu dhabi. For sure, I will let you know. Good luck!
 
That is right, be optimistic. My sister and her family got approved for one year visitor visa on 2016. And they applied again this May, planning to spend summer vacation here in Canada on July. Just waiting for the final decision hopefully within this week. Have faith!
 
Don’t apply for Canadian TRV from Riyadh or Abu Dhabi, refusal rate is almost 95%.
That's interesting and makes sense. I submitted very solid TRV applications for me and my daughter and Abu Dhabi rejected it. We had everything in it.... extremely strong ties to Oman (Home ownership, my job, bank statements, next year's school fees paid for my daughter, my wife was staying back, etc..) and zero family ties in Canada with clear purpose of visit (summer pre-university 2-week program paid for at UBC).

Let's just hope for positive result. Keep the faith that's what we can do.

Hi, just an update. My sister and her family got approved for multiple visa.
Their passports with visa stamps delivered by Aramex just today. But they had different visa expiry dates, based on their passports validity.
Sister got 10 years visa, her husband and two kids got 2 and 3 years visa.

Timeline:
May 30 applied in VFS Abu Dhabi
June 23 correspondence letter
June 26 passports delivered

Don’t lose hope. Pray for positive outcome.

May I ask what nationalities and where do they reside?
