could you please advise how to apply for work permit from Pakistan and how to obtain a job offer in first place? Where should I be looking for a valid jobs for aforementioned permit? I need this information for a colleague of mine who is willing to move Canada on work permit.
Thanks for your help previously. The update is my application has been submitted online (13th May) and I was called in to submit biometrics at the Dubai VFS center (went and submitted on 18th May).
Can anybody help me with the expected timeline? Super anxious now.
I know this was posted a long time ago. I will take a shot as I would very much benefit from your experience.
I am in the same situation as you were. Hopefully it all turned out well for you.
My husband and I live and work in Abu Dhabi, he has been nominated through Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program and has applied online for an LMIA exempt work permit, plus for an open work permit, for myself.
Our question:
Will it be processed through Abu Dhabi, UAE office (which according to cic processing timings will take 5,5 months) or it will be processed through our country of citizenship (according to cic, takes 3 weeks, only)?
On one of the forms, it asked us whether we want it to be processed via UAE or Country of Citizenship? We ticked country of citizenship. However, we don't see how it works and the AUH Visa Office Center couldn't advise us.
