Hi there! Same case here! I am applying as caregiver from Saudi Arabia. I submitted my application online last April 29,2019. Finished my medical and biometrics also. Until now no response yet. Last 2 weeks when I checked my cic account for the processing time it was 6
Weeks only but when I checked today it says there 9 weeks.
What I know from Dubai, UAE the processing time for the work permit is 3 months. But don’t know if they changed it already. You can check also through your account.
Aside from the web, is there any options we can find out what’s going on and how long to wait for our visa?TIA to those who will answer

Hi, UAE is 21 weeks processing per website dated 04-June-2019. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about how to know what's going on, but to wait. My application is 22 weeks (Its been more than 5 months already), and I have no update yet.

Hello,

I think you should contact them through the web form they usually reply after a couple of days. After how long did you get the invitation for medical test?

Hi there,
As for my case, I have sent a couple of webforms already, one in May and one last week, and no reply.

I wonder why it takes that long time for work permit from Abu Dhabi, is it because the embassy is in a small condo in Abu Dhabi Mall. Even if Abu Dhabi embassy is receiving application from different countries, the processing time from those countries is less than UAE which is weird.

I think its not just UAE, some other IRCC offices around the world are behind in their processing times. If they can not process the application around the processing times displayed in their website, I hope they adjust it so it wont mislead the applicants.

Thanks a lot , hope you will get it next week or just after public holiday! Was it an ICT for you or a new company ? Do we need also a medical test when we apply from UAE?
Not sure my futur boss will wait for 5 months (I saw some others getting their visa in 4 to 6 weeks from dubai )
All the best,
Adel

is that for real? you sent your passport last Feb 2019 and still no update? If it is for Visa stamping, then that is ridiculously super delayed. Or if you sent your passport along with your Work Permit application to UAE IRCC office, then you would need to wait a little bit more. I submitted my online app last Jan 10, 2019, I am 24 weeks already this Friday and no update yet. and because mine is online application, I do not have to send my original passport with my app.
