    Abu Dhabi VO ... Let's Connect here!

    Hi guys - just yesterday, mycic account got updated that my application is approved, which means that our visas have been stamped by ADVO. Upon checking the tracking, the passports were dispatched end of day yesterday, back to us in Qatar. So assuming I get them on Sunday, it would have taken...

    Abu Dhabi VO ... Let's Connect here!

    You will have until the validity of your medicals to land (so assuming you did your medicals around 6 months ago, you will have another 6 months to land, as medicals are valid for one year.) Your MyCIC profile is usually updated once your visa is stamped, which is the very very last step before...

    Most probably.. Some applications are processed in Ottawa, or your country of origin - but that's in rare cases.

    It usually takes them a month for visa stamping and issuance of CoPR. However, there is absolutely NO WAY for your to delay landing past the validity of your immigrant visa. Please do NOT attempt to do that. You will lose everything...

    I can confirm that extensive travel = security screening, which is synonymous with a delayed PPR. My wife and I are extensive travelers, with lots of trips to the USA, and our application took exactly one year, from AOR to PPR. Anyone knows how long ADVO is taking for visa stamping these days...

    Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

    I was asked to redo the medicals within a month. I requested an extension, because my wife was delivering in the USA at the time, so they gave me an additional two months (that was in early April.) we did the medicals towards the end of May, they were "passed" early June, and we got our PPR 3...

    Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

    Hi Tony, Sometimes they extend medicals, and sometimes they don't -it really depends on a case by case basis. I was asked to redo my medicals, whereas another Lebanese friend of mine (similar age, similar health, and similar family composition) had his medicals extended, even though we were...

    Got PPR this morning. Even though my file was being processed in Ottawa VO, they requested we send our passports to Abu Dhabi Visa Office. Because I live in Qatar, and there are currently no diplomatic ties between Qatar and UAE, Aramex has refused to accept the passport. VFS accepted them, but...

    Finally... After exactly one year..... We received RFV/PPR email a few hours ago! It was a long journey to get here, but the support of everyone else here on this group was monumental. Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting: don't lose hope, PPR is just around the corner...

    Hi Maro - we did the same, and received the same response, but that was almost 3 weeks ago, and we have not heard back yet. The agent said it could take up to two months to receive the PPR from them unfortunately... I'm pretty sure this is further delayed by the Eid vacation here in the GCC...

    How to get Qatar PCC

    I don't think it's possible - however, for definite answer, visit Criminal Investigations and Evidence Department (CIED) on salwa road, first right after industrial area R/A. Good luck!

    Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

    Hi ADTOCANADA: I knew because they suddenly requested a renewal of my medicals, even though they had 2 months left to expire. I also called IRCC helpline a couple of weeks ago, and they confirmed that my background check was complete. Also, after it was complete, things started moving a lot...

    Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

    Hi Matt, This actually makes sense. I'm a July 2016 AOR, and got my CBSA security screening completed around April 2017 (couple of months ago.) Sadly, at that time, my medicals were about to expire in a few weeks, so I was asked to redo them. I redid them a month ago, and although they were...

    I think you can apply with a letter of explanation that it wasn't possible because you're living in UAE and there are no diplomatic ties.

    Background check is completed

    We'll wait and see, I suppose! Rabin: Where are you sending your PP for stamping?
