The internet is definitely echoing the same news - that Abu Dhabi visa office is moving back to Islamabad. I checked the link and it opens VFS global site. VFS as far as I know, is indian owned and operated franchise with expertise in Visa processing. Seems IRCC has outsourced it to VFS - hopefully that speeds up the process.
vfs are known as the visa application centres where you give biometrics and submit/receive documents (usually). They don't do the actual processing, think of it as just the logistics of documents between the visa office and the applicants. They are private companies.
The visa offices outside Canada are divisions of embassies/consulates/high commissions (may be in separate buildings of course). But not all visa offices handle all types of files - there are regional 'hubs' that handle the spousal apps. I do not know if there has been a change to process them for Pakistan in Islamabad (which recently has only printed the physical visas for spousal apps - which can be done anywhere). It would be a pretty big change to move it (but of course it's possible). Note, it's also possible that some changes have been made that are temporary.
Or just as likely is someone from outside heard something or misinterpreted some minor fact to mean that they'd moved it, and it was just some minor thing (like having visa printed at that section - which doesn't mean much, it's mainly a matter of having the specialized printer).
Thanks dear for the useful thoughts. Yes, in theory, you are right (and of course theory is implemented sometimes). But my thinking is that what happened in your case i.e. eight months since pre arrival, is not an every day phenomon. May be you were given early pre arrival (within 3 months of applying?) because of the situation in your homeland, Ukraine, to keep your hope high. I think for the 80% of the apps, PPR is sent within 60 days of the pre arrival letter. That is just what I figured out ftom the input of the members of the forum.
Did you get the Pre arrival letter and request for Passport

Hello friends, Last Monay, I got an email from LVO asking that if the PA i.e. My spouse will be able land Canada before Feb 09- the date of her medical expiry. If she can, LVO will send her PPR. If not, LVO will send re-medical request. Same day, I confirmed that yes 'she will land Canada b4 Feb 09 positively so please send her PPR'. It is 5 days now since LVO email and no PPR mail they sent so far.
Anybody been through this experience please share that after the confirmation email from PA end, how long does LVO take to send PPR?
Salams brother. Who is the sponsor in this application? Since the 20 month timeline has passed, i'd strongly suggest the sponsor to write an email or visit their Member of Parliament, with application details and the latest communication from IRCC, which was 25th Sep 22 in your case. And you should repeat that its been more than 24 months now, while the processing time shows only 20 months. Ask their help to let you know what is hindering the progress of your application.

Thanks for your response.
Is your information based on your personal experience (LVO email asking confirmatiom for landing b4 getting PPR) or some of your friend went through it or just your opinion?

Yes I'd like to know the same I'm all in for buying tickets and sending a copy if that would satisfy ircc. I just think each case is different along side the fact that everyone's medical is at a different time and in order for cic to grant a visa and have the applicant come in the country it needs to be before the medical expires.
