What will happen if I'll be called for Interview in London & face any problem in getting UK Visa?

Below is the information from the website of Canadian Embassy, Abu Dhabi:

"Interview Procedures in the Gulf

For all London's cases referred to Abu Dhabi for interviews, we will contact you as soon as an interview spot is available. The waiting period for an interview in the Gulf area is purely a function of the number of cases we receive at any given time. You must continue to direct all inquiries, change of address or marital status, etc, to the Canadian High Commission in London.

Only applicants residing in the Gulf Peninsula at the time of the interview CAN and WILL be interviewed."

Applicant: $550 (processing fee) + $490 (RPRF) $1040

CIC advises you to pay RPRF at the time of medical test. You need not pay it now.

Below is the information about RPRF from CIC website.


"4. RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE (RPRF)
(Canadian dollars)

For the acquisition of permanent resident status $490
This fee is payable by principal applicants (with some exceptions) and accompanying spouses and common-law partners. It must be paid before the immigrant visa is issued overseas or before the applicant becomes a permanent resident in Canada.

The following applicants are not required to pay this fee:
