PNP PROCESS TIME IN ABU DHABI OFFICE

[NiqNok13]

@ zig321 – no need to worry about the status of dependents. The online status shows something similar for all of us. If the visa office needs any specific additional or missing info for a dependent, they will let you know accordingly.
@ NiqNok13 – yes, it usually takes 4-6 months from MR to receive PPR. I think this is most likely the case if the visa office has asked for some additional documents (like updated police clearance/forms etc) which will need to be evaluated. I think background checks to be done by the visa office based on the police clearance submitted take the most time especially for persons who have lived in several countries or travel frequently or originally belong to certain countries. Some people have got PPR in shorter time which could be due to plain and simple luck or the background checks were done faster or earlier. I guess you still have to wait a couple more months to hear back from ADVO. The medical test results are valid for 12 months and the VO tries to process the case within this period otherwise they will have to ask for fresh medical tests. the good thing is you've had your medical as some applicants on this forum have been waiting for MR for quite sometime for reasons unknown.

so far no further addition documents are being asked to submit.I just hope everything is ok.. I guess we just have to keep on waiting for our turn.so for you guys its been 5 months? for me it's only two.. you should get you PPR before me.

well goodluck to all of us.

Hi,

Where did you apply for work permit and how much time does it take? If possible please share the steps to apply work permit.

Regards
Khurram

I am from FSW Backlog program, in which respective province has given opportunity to come to Canada on Open Work Permit, while our PR will be in progress. They had given us support letter and were also exempted from LMO requirements, therefore our process were quick. I applied in Feb 2013 and by the grace of God, got in Apr 2013.
If you are in same program, and have received supporting letter from your respective Province then you can also apply for it.

 

[aashamsi]

you are welcome. its nice to know that i'm not the only one with medical in Aug/Sep who has'nt heard back from ADVO. there are others like you and aashamsi . so, keep the faith.

My case is little different, I have initiated medical in Sep 2013, but they have received complete medical results by Jan 2014, because my wife’s X-ray completed on Dec 2013 (due to her pregnancy). My medical is valid till Sep 2014 however by wife’s medical is valid till Jan 2015

Hi aashamsi,
I have the same situation, my PR application is in process, I made my medicals last September.

I am FSW backlog, I received support letter from Ontario for open work permit.

I do not know what can I do to start my application.

Before 6 months I explained my situation to Visa application center here in Riyadh, they told they forwarded to visa office, but no response.

Please help me to start my work permit application.

In PNP, medical is one of initial steps, therefore can’t predict its progress. In parallel they might be doing security or background check, for this they are depended on external agencies (which causes delays). I am sure in next 2 to 3 months you get some response.

In between you can request for CAIPS notes which can let you know your progress.

Well there is no harm to apply for OWP, for this you may follow Work Permit instruction guide. It will be parallel process, therefore not going to affect your PR process but to some extend strengthens your case (again depend on different factors).

Can you also share your application timelines?

Dear Lawerence/Zig/Shamsi,

[lawrence2007]

@ lemans & @rtamimi

1) when did the visa office instruct you to pay the RPRF i.e with the medical request, earlier or later?
2) did you submit your police clearance certificates to CIO with the application pack or sent them later to ADVO?
