Abu Dhabi Processing....

Hi Bash,

Thank you for your advice. Actually my husband is the applicant and I am the sponsor. I live with him in Dubai with our daughter (who is also Canadian). It's not really his business, but he got a job offer a few months ago with a global company to set up an office here in Dubai. So basically he is the authorized signatory and he is the managing director of this new office. He is presently in the process of setting it up for his new employer. So it's not really HIS business. But he doesn't see how he can just leave it so soon.

Furthermore, since he has just recently started this new job, he hasn't had a chance to inform the visa office about this. So I am not sure how this will affect their decision?

It's understandable that immigration is trying to be more conservative and trying their best to keep permanent residents IN Canada but 60 days is too less to wrap up everything, don't you think? We have a home here, we have a car, all these things will take time to get rid of. I was hoping they'd at least tell him to cancel it before his visa will expire (Jan 3, 2012) but they are saying 60 days, which has really put us off guard.

Satisfactory evidence would include: copy of cancelled residency permit (in the Gulf); copy of resignation letter showing that it has been accepted by your sponsor's employer; evidence that "end of contract" benefits have been paid; and so on. This will be required before a permanent resident visa can be issued.
