Congrats, was this through gc key?

Thank you, yes it was.

 

[Minid]

Sorry whats new IRCC portal? I am unware. is this same as signing in with GCKey

Its a new portal, you can apply through either. It's just your luck. No guarantee on the timeline from either. New portal needs less documents though and I felt it's easier to fill up and submit than gckey.

Abu Dhabi Office, Good Luck.

When you submit a webform it defaults to Islamabad office. Do we need to change it to Abu Dhabi manually when sending case specific inquiry?

Your eligibility check has started, it's not default. It's a good sign.

When you submit a webform it defaults to Islamabad office. Do we need to change it to Abu Dhabi manually when sending case specific inquiry?

Yeah, I usually submit it directly to Abu Dhabi Office. There is also email address on which you can email but i didn't get response from it so far. However upon submission webform to Abu Dhabi Office i got response from the very same email.
