Eligibility review started on 31 March.
 
Guys, I am really stressed, I email Ottawa yesterday asking to expedite my TRV as I am stuck out of the country, Pakistan,, and need to go to my work ASAP. Today I got a request letter in comic portal where: they informed me that my file is being transferred to Abu Dhabi for processing as I am in Pakistan and 2nd) asked me to submit a biometric fee and left a placeholder to submit the receipt ( EVEN thou my biometrics got collected collected last year) and is reflected in TRV application and all other application i have made. )

I am worried coz processing time for TRV for Abu Dhabi is showing 416 days and my BOWP is only valid till Feb 2020 and i need to return to my work ASAP.

Guys what should I do?

When did you apply for TRV? did you choose India then and submitted biometrics? Also in my case, my biometric was done in Pakistan, not in Canada.

what do you think about transferred files processing time at the local visa office? Abu Dhabi is showing 413 days from TRV. Even India says 176 days. Would these processing times apply on our files? this whole thing does not make sense

Once the counterfoil has been generated and u get the email, the return tracker is usually activated a day or two after. And usually in the evening. Side note, since today and monday is a holiday, you might want to check on tue if theres no update.
