Dude Ziad..get your so-called facts straight.....seems like you're a Canadian wanna be and Canada rejected you now you're all so fussy.....

In the past 2 days, i've located 7 contacts with the same background and they've been given excellent respect from Qatari authorities as Canadians...

If this is your so-called logic and you're an Arab, why do you guys freakin' cry when American kick Ass of Arab Americans.....which all say is pure racism.....

If one goes according to origin, then no one is in an academic sense American or Canadian...Dude...i've spent almost my entire life in Canada and I'm disgusted with your thinking.....

I know for sure you and your racist views hold no place in North America.....

Some answeres are misleading. Well ZAID nowhere in the passport u'll find the origin of the person. AS qatari said they deal with the passports not with the origin, haan may be things are different at workplace once u are here.

Thanks, Qatari Sun for a great detailed answer.

And You're Right...Ziad is way off....I've consulted official resources in Canada and a Canadian Passport is at it says Canadian Passport Regardless of wherever one goes.

I just got my work visa issued today and it took a total of 5 working days with a Canadian Passport.

funny.. i am just wondering.. are you guys have ever actually read the question??

what are these answers:

"...just log on www.cic.gc.ca and you can get all information which you need." ?

"..If applying in canada for a tourist visa then it should take no more than the usual 4 business days thats if there is a visa office in your city."...?

He is CANADIAN applying for job in qatar.. what canadian government or tourist visas have to do with that?

and ZIAD FAHEL, you are wrong.. qatari government deals with the passports, not with the persons. canadian passport is treated as a canadian passport.

globy12, the time of issuing work visa (if the nationality/gender are initially approved)depends on the PRO of your company and nothing else. Push your PRO and you will get it rather sooner than later.

good luck.

well it depends where u intend to work or who is going to sponsor you.usually poeple with govt sponsorship can obtain the work visa sooner then the companies..Incase of tourist visa,it depends on Qatar airways tourist visa process or where did u apply for..Good luck man

If you are a canadian citizen of any nationality your wait time for a visa is the same. It depends where you are applying for the visa. If applying in canada for a tourist visa then it should take no more than the usual 4 business days thats if there is a visa office in your city. You ma have to send your request to another city in which case you will have a longer wait. Also if you are applying for a work, student or residence visa then your looking at a longer wait as you have to submit an application request.

Anyway you can also look on the internet. You will find more info by googling your request.

Good luck
