Hi Guys - I need some information regarding visa processing.Currently i am staying in Dubai and my Canadian employer have applied the work permit for Me with positive LMIA under GSS Stream. As i am staying in Dubai i have applied from here and submitted the biometrics on June 1 2020. Now my project is over and i should return to India once international flight resumes.

So is there any chance for me to transfer my visa application from UAE embassy to Indian embassy for further processing ?
GSS should be much quicker as you qualify for 2 week processing under normal circumstances. It wont be 2 weeks but I’d assume it would still be quicker than non GSS applications.

Just warning you that 2 weeks is a target that isn't common. GSS applications are processed much faster than others. Many seem to get it done within a month but others drag on for 2-3 months.

What about Non GSS application which is submitted in February 2020 With positive LMIA, and biometric also done in February.

Since you applied from Bahrain, the Bahrain processing time would apply to you.

However due to COVID-19, all work permit processing is unfortunately much slower right now. So unfortunately it's really quite difficult to guess when you may hear back about your work permit application. You can try to send a case specific inquiry via webform to request the status of your application. You may get a helpful answer back. Or they may just send you a standard reply saying that your work permit is under process and they don't know when processing will be completed.
Hi
Is it a standard reply if they mention in the email that they will put in all their effort to make a decision for your application as soon as possible?
