Hello Dubai aspiring and successful applicants,

I literally just signed up now so I can post some queries. I have gathered all my requirements and now I am finalizing all documents so I can submit hopefully next week.

But please enlighten me on 1 thing:

1. I am single and have no dependants to declare as per CIC's definition of dependants. Do you still submit the form and mark N/A on it? For items that are not applicable, do you put N/A on the checklist?

Thanking you in advance.

luniqa

Hi

you need not submit the forms which are not applicable to you

Hi,

I have recently joined this Forum and wanted to know whether all of you have been successful with your application? The thread seems to have started in 2009 so I presume all of you would be in Canada now ?
CIC changes their rules regularly... Some are lucky, some are unlucky..

One of my friend applied in June 20, 2010 and the new rule got effective from June 26. He had to wait for 3 years for his visa but those who applied on 27th reached Canada in an year... :)

Hi Mustafa

Were you asked to submit your PP to ADVO by your local VO or did you request it ?

Can you please inform us which VO was selected as your Local VO ?

Hello everyone!

I have a couple of things to ask.

1. Did you bind the documents? or paper-clipped or stapled? or just arrange them loosely according to the checklist's order?

2. about the mailing address label written in the official language fo the country of residence, did you really have an arabic written name and address?

I am really ready to send them thru courier now except for these things..
Please let me know..
Thank you.

Thank you.
- Used Paper clips for thinner bunch of documents. Used Clip Binders for thicker bunch of documents. I strongly discourage using staples for any purpose.
- I got the mailing labels written in English and Arabic but this is not critical. You can get both written in English.

Hi I'm new here,
Anyone who can advise me, I sent my application just last month and the recipient CIC received my application on 21st Oct. 2014, how long will it take them to open and start processing my application? Thanks God bless :)

Hi all from Dubai,

It's high time that we start our 'own thread', like others are doing here !!!

I request all to post your timlines here and get connected. Firstly, it will sail us thru on this long agonising waiting period. Secondly, thru networking we can help each other on info sharing and act as morale boosters. Thirdly, we'll expand our 'Friends-Circle', both here as well as post landing.

Quite a few of us, in Dubai, are already in touch with each other. Some are thru, some just applied, while some are waiting for our PPRs. Let's expand the network... what do you say buddies ?

Warm regards.

Kabayan, :)

Maybe 3 - 5 months before you receive PER. If you use credit card for the payment then you will receive a notification from your bank 1 week before CIO send you're PER. :)

Hi All & good morning
I am a Pakistani national but working in UAE. I sent my full application package 3 days ago to CIC office in Sydney. Smiley
They will be receiving it today or tomorrow. Now I sent my resident visa copy of UAE also showing that I live and work in UAE.
My question is , is it fast or equal to apply from Islamabad, Pakistan or from Dubai, UAE in sense of processing times and all.
How much total time is expected these days ? I checked the cic website but the time there is just toooo much like 27 months. Lips sealed Lips sealed
Waiting for an answer. Cheesy
Thanks.

Canada job market is not easy unless you are lucky enough to get job in your field.

You might struggle intially 3 to 6 months and may be doing jobs other than your profession for survival

Not scaring you, but this is the fact when you migrate to Canada
