I have a question, since you are outside Canada and your application is being processed within Canada where will you send your passport once you get your application approved?
Will you send it to your home embassy or to CPC Ottawa for stamp? The reason is my application is processed in Canada and I want to leave for 3 months I am sure I would get a decision by then but not sure how to get the stamp.
I have called them couple of times during last 5-6 months. They told me that I should wait until security screening be completed. They also informed me that my case was sent to the visa office in New York !

You can get your visa stamped by the visa office which handles visas for the country you're going to. When you get a passport request, contact that visa office and request them to allow you to submit your passport to the local VAC/VFS (or in some countries, directly to that local visa office)

Thank you so much for your kind reply. that really helps!
I have a concern though what do you mean by contacting and requesting the embassy? In my case it is Abu Dhabi embassy. What if I leave Canada and then the embassy says that they cannot accept my passport?
Do you know of any case that have gone through this? Actually I just need to make sure that I would be eligible to return.

In the last couple of years, there have been a number of applicants who have had their visas stamped in the countries they were visiting/not by the visa offices where they had applied from. This is normal and doable.
When you get a passport request, contact both CPC-O and Abu Dhabi visa office to reconfirm your passport submission to the Abu Dhabi VO.
You may even contact both these visa offices pro-actively now if you want to be double sure
