Hi group...

I am a Canadian born citizen living in Canada...


I've just received confirmation that i've been approved to sponsor my wife who is a Jordanian citizen currently living in Saudi Arabia. Therefore the visa application will be forwarded to the Abu Dahbi office.

I have read on the expected wait times on the CIC website that for this particular visa office it is a 24 month wait time.

Can anyone please comment who is currently in the process through this or who has been through it. I really don't want to wait two years for my wife and daughter to get here

Thanks for your time it is appreciated!
Regards
D
 
According to the open data project information, Abu Dhabi processing times for the 12 months ending March 31, 2012 were:

20% of applications completed in 7 months
30% of applications completed in 8 months
50% of applications completed in 12 months
70% of applications completed in 20 months
80% of applications completed in 26 months

(Spouses, Partners & Children)

So half the applications are completed in a year. Hopefully you will be in that category.
