Got my PP from VFS Qatar today! 3 working days for PP to get stamped, but 5 total days to recieve it due to weekend. Traveling on 3 September early morning. Special thanks to everyone for their support. I hope you hear something good soon. I have updated my Profile to show my complete timeline...

@ blazin123 I recieved the letter on Friday on MyCIC account. I found out through an email I got which said there was a new message. Now, hoping to get PP either on Sunday or Monday, because PP was dispatched from AD on Thursday. @ tim420 Thanks, man. I'm certain you'll get the visa soon...

My passport got dispatched today on 27/August, which was only 3 days after submission. Sadly, the weekend has now arrived, which means I will have to wait till Sunday to get my PP. If you're wondering how I got mine before the 5 day mark, it's simple; I just sent a letter outlining the dates I...

@tim420 Thanks for your well wishes. And yes, you should be recognized for your support and helpful comments that make this wait a lot easier. As for me, I am going to be attending the University of Calgary in Alberta. For a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering IsA. P.S. Good selection of items...

@ tahaanwar, blazin123, tim420, smileyuae Wonderful news guys! I got my PP request an hour ago. I already submitted my PP at VFS Qatar and sent a letter asking to expedite the process by a couple of days. I just want to thank you all for being the best online community ever. Your endless...

@ tim420 No updates. :( 10 weeks as of today. Had sent a case specific inquiry, the only response was that they were still conducting certain background checks. Completely useless information, with no indication of how much longer I might have to wait. Starting to lose hope now. :'( It's...

@ ao92 I too have received 4 messages stating that my "application has been updated." However, in one of those instances, the message actually corresponded with a status change. And that was the status update of my biometrics being passed. The rest of the 3 were however random, as you said. So...

@ tahaanwar Thanks for the kind words. As for your question, I have recieved 2 such emails regarding updates in my inbox. I see you've recieved 4. I hope there's no correlation between these emails and getting your visa, because otherwise I'm surely doomed. For you see, I have already started...

@ tim420 You shouldn't be surprised by the amount of time it took others to recieve a final decision. The average time is anything but 7 weeks for all of the applicants on this thread. (Somewhere around 10-11 weeks.) Although I hope you recieve yours sooner that the rest of us. Thanks for...

Nothing so far, guys. Been 15 days since Medicals got passed. 10th week running since the day I applied. No more time left to wait. Looks like its over before a decision is even made. And the only reply I have recieved to my enquiry is that they are still conducting background checks. Complete...

@ aidoo25 & Rico5k Sorry to hear about your denial. You can always reapply and make a stronger case for yourself by following the advice of the experienced members on this forum.

@ blazin123 Where there's a will, there's a way. And 12 weeks is just insane! At least the worst is over though. Good luck with the rest of the challenges.

BRO! CONGRATULATIONS! You have just begun one of the best chapters of your life starting today. Act wisely and don't do drugs. :P How long was the total time from start to PP request? Also, please pray for the rest of us.

Well, it is compulsory to submit proof of proficiency in English for Unis. It's mandatory because the medium of instruction is English and they need to know you have suitable proficiency in the language for daily tasks. But when it comes to the application, it really depends on where it is you...

I've just reached the 9th week of my wait for a study permit. Submitted online on June 15. Application forwarded to the Abu Dhabi visa office June 16. Medicals passed 2 weeks ago on 3 August. No updates since then.

Hi there. Before I even begin, I'm going to ask you to submit the application as soon as possible because as you can see, the processing time is basically infinity at the moment. Now, to answer your first question regarding the forms, I submitted the application online. It's fairly simple and...

@ smileyuae Hey, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. And I agree with you on the issue of taking some sort of action against it. The least they should have done is informed us of delays so we could prepare for it, they simply asked us to refer to the useless website which states 7...

@ Rico5k I am hoping to attend the University of Calgary in Alberta, once I get my study permit. (Already have formal admission.) As for your second question, I don't think any applicant from Abu Dhabi has been asked to submit a Police Report. The Medical Exam on the other hand, depends on...

Any news, people? This week is the make-it or break-it week. For a lot of us, I believe. We can only hope and wait for something to show up. @ Rico5k Welcome to the waiting list. If you don't me mind asking, which University have you applied to? :)

@ blazin123 We are in one hell of a predicament. Both our Universities will be starting September (for me its August 31), and there isn't any more time left till then. I pray we get it next week or else it's going to get very very difficult to do anything.
