did ADVO ask you to cancel you gulf residency?

what they ask what PPR???
I am the sponsor, I live here in Canada, and my wife lives in Qatar under her parent's sponsorship. They didn't ask her to cancel her gulf visa. They just asked for the passport and 2 photos

Hello guys,

I am sure i reading it right from the CIC website but still wanted to clarify. Does a sponsored person need to reside in Abu Dhabi for at least one year by the time the application is submitted in order it to be processed in Abu Dhabi as opposed to processed in his home country?
Situation: I am a canadian citizen and working in Abu Dhabi. My husband has residency here in Abu Dhabi under my sponsorship. But he hasn't been here for a year yet. Can we apply to this office or does he need to apply in his country of citizenship?

Also, does Abu Dhabi office often invite for an interview?

Thank you,
Sibnadian.

Thank you,
Sibnadian.
First..when you apply both the sponsor and the applicant submit their application at the same time...in one package. This must go to CIC Mississauga. Once sponsorship is approved, CIC then decides where the applicant package is sent to. You can always request via a letter or note that is included in your package that it be sent to Abu Dhabi. However, if the applicant has not lived in the UAE for very long they may end up sending it to the office assigned according to the applicant citizenship. In our case, our package was sent to Amman but then about a month later it was transfered to Abu Dhabi. I don't know if the request (two copies...one at the top of the package and one with the applicant portion) made a difference. My husband has also been living and working in the UAE for 8 years. It also has to do with the background and security checks that are done...and wherever CIC thinks it's easier to do this out of perhaps.

Hopefully this helps.

C.

Thank you, chilkootcee.
For us it might be better to avoid Abu Dhabi. Looks like cases are dragged over one year here.

Hi
I applied for my husbands sponsorship in July and got the approval in September and it says that the file has been transferred to LVO whereas he is in UAE. And the London visa office timeline is currently 28 months whereas the UAE timeline is 13 months. What should I do? Should I contact MP and request him to transfer my file to UAE visa office. Thank you in advance. Please give me suggestions.
