How did you send your letter to them? I think you should calm down and dont curse people who are just doing there work professionally like you and I.
How many days now is your passport there?

I appreciate their professional attitude, same day submission of passport of two differnet cases but one gets it in 12 working days and other still waiting after 20 working days. and this is just one example. Problem is they should create procedure for stamping, instead of keeping passports for more than a month.

in person submission is closed in canada embassy AUH now, you have to send via VFS. i sent all passports and all docs via VFS including the covering letter, bro me very much calm for more than 3 weeks now professionalism doesn't mean that holding the passports unnecessarily for quiet long time just for stamping the visa. Third time my very imp official visits are cancelled and today again the weekend came here no news nothing .....

remember that ADVO issues some and LVO issues some. so lets double check. The point here is that, I will advice that when the maximum time thats stated in your letter approaches, then you should go to the embassy or call them.
they do pick calls, they do call back and they do respond.

you can go there yourself and they will respond. you can also call.
only if the maximum time that they are required to hold your passport have approached.
My friend went there and showed them his ID card and company travel ticket and they responded to him the next day.......i know cases are different but my point is, has your maximum time reached......because it was stated in the email that was sent to you for PPR

The one or few others i know were sent to Abudhabi. As per letter one month is over and despite of calling and sending emails and telling and proving pre schedule travel stuff. nothing from their end.

So only God knows y stamping a visa is different for different people

i Have sent them via aramex from kuwait with return airway bill as was mentioned in my PPR email . they received them on 16 feb and from that day no information . I have been checking the aramex airway bill number everyday which i have submitted with the passports, but no record found. i planned to travel on 12 march but now i cancelled my bookings. I have sent them email twice , got no reply. also spoken to operator she said no information can be provided on the phone. I keep checking with aramex abu dhabi as well they said they have nothing on my name . In email they have mentioned 4 weeks . Dont know what to do.

you are right SAM i applied two time for USA visit visa it took 8 months for them for decision and when they requested the passport for visa stamping i get back in 3 days ..... this is very simple nothing unusual they are doing all embassies work like that, when the case is decided and passports are requested its simply for visa stamping all the professional work is done at this stage eligibility, background checks, security checks for that they took almost one and half year so what the point of professionalism is stamping the visa ... same visa stamping before when in person submission was open u also get in half hour if u submit your travel plans ... so they should follow some procedure ..
