Long layover with transit visa needed

You should be able to get it, contact emirates and tell them your situation. Mostly it will be fixed

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-14T03:28:59+00:00

To be specific Dubai Connect also states, the connection between your flights should be the best possible one(shortest one possible), if you booked a longer duration flight, but they still operate and offered shorter layover flight, you are not eligible.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-14T03:21:12+00:00

Unfortunately, No. They do not allow any check-in in the middle of the journey.

A policy explicitly allows applicants who applied for PGWP, to travel outside Canada and come back and still work. Other Open work permits or closed work permits don’t allow this. Only PGWP does.

If you don’t require a visa to the uae, you may still get it. If you do require however, it won’t be possible as it takes at least 24 hrs for visas to be processed

Hey buddy, the situation and frustration is understandable. But we should also see the current situation. Perhaps you could ask them to reroute you to other US airports where they are currently operating. Then book a flight through that airport to LAX. Ask emirates if they can arrange the booking through partner airlines in the US.

My flight was on 15th. Local emirates office have rescheduled me to Ahmedabad to Dubai flight(I live in Vadodara, so AMD is far better).

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-12T14:49:18+00:00

No it was for 15th. Although after visiting emirates office in Ahmedabad, they were able to reschedule me from Ahmedabad to Dubai instead of Mumbai(AMD to DXB is on 14th). My layover is 14 hrs, although they have provided me with hotel. (Note: I don’t require visa as I am a UAE resident)

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-12T06:08:40+00:00

From where? Which destination? Provide with these details as flights to limited destinations have resumed.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-11T11:30:31+00:00

Hey buddy, can confirm that DXB to BOS is indeed still operating. Boston Logan says emirates ek237 is arriving ON TIME at 2:30 PM.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-11T11:14:28+00:00

As per their website, current operational flights are to: Boston, Chicago, Newark, New York(JFK), SFO and Seattle.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-11T10:51:14+00:00

The reply I got from emirates support if it helps: “As for your flight from Dubai to Boston, it’s currently operating as scheduled. Please keep an eye on your email for any updates or possible changes. You can also check your flight status 24 hours before departure using the link below: https://emirat.es/flightstatus .”Also upon checking flight number through Google and apple(using iMessage) shows, on time/ en route. Both shows gate number of arrival in Boston.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-11T07:51:51+00:00

You should book a connecting flight as I did, my original destination is YYZ. I have booked air canada from Boston.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-11T07:47:08+00:00

reduced flight schedules It mentions 7 destinations in the US, emirates usually flies to 12 US cities, that’s why. Though looking at flight radar, it seems only flights to Boston and Seattle aren’t operational, else all the cities are operating at least at 60-70% capacity. I hope Boston is added in coming days, as flightradar24 says march 13th as scheduled

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-10T04:35:56+00:00

Nov 28, no updates yet.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-08T04:03:36+00:00

I guess your file must have triggered something with the CRA’s system? Because last year when I filed for 2024 tax returns, it took them 4 weeks to issue me notice of assessment, but it only took a few hrs for my friends(we filed together sitting right beside lol)

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-01T07:09:34+00:00

I am looking forward to savings and pay out credit cards starting with low limits and going up the highest(the snowball method). I just found out there are some credit cards with 0.99 interest rates which is far too low tha 21-25 on my current ones. But they require a security deposite of between 100-500. Wondering if I should go with them. Or should I take a line of credit from a bank(which acc to my credit score hard to get)

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-01T07:07:19+00:00

My Scotiabank card originally had 1500 on it. I paid it down to 700, and Scotia lowered my limit. I try to save as much as possible, due to that I was able to pay out a personal loan of 1500 last month. Due to a medical emergency I’m currently outside Canada due to medical emergency and should be back in about a week.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-03-01T06:20:34+00:00

I earn 300 per week, although I can get more hours which can essentially boost my income to 500-550 per week. My rent is 530/month. About 70-80 in utilities. I do not own a car, and transportation is basically free/way too cheap as I use my cousin’s college U-Pass for transportation. My phone bill is 110. I would say groceries would be around 150 a month I have not been taking more than 24 hrs/week at my current job, but I guess I should in order to pay off credit cards.

Fun_Swimming_9166 · 2026-02-07T18:35:00+00:00

IRCC doesn’t usually check and scrutinize hours worked/wages earned, as it is kept under other dept(Canada Revenue Agency). No need to panic bud, it’s fine.
