better to print the fingerprint form that they used.. just print it in a oslo or a thick bond paper.

My status said that my application has been “Issued”. Does that mean they have already sent it via courier?
Hi, may I seek advise..
I am still waiting for the appeal approval. For the meantime I have 2 things in mind..
1. Do we still need a fingerprint impressions to submit to Singapore police even if we already requested a COC before? My thinking is that they already have our fingerprint impressions.. In this case, it would make our COC application faster.. We got our COC on 2021 when we were still applying for a student visa and OWP..
2. Since we can get the fingerprint form from the Singapore police website, can we already get the fingerprint impressions even if we haven't got the appeal approval?
Thank you in advance for your replies..

1.if you have gotten a COC before and you lost the document you can get a Duplicate certificate of clearance.. its much faster and cost 30$SGD.

e-Appeal to Receipt of Physical CoC: 1 month 12 days
This thread helped me a lot . I received CoC today (so did my spouse). So I am hoping my timeline will aid others in estimating their time to preapare:
Note: If you have a friend in Singapore, select By Proxy and use their information (SC/SPR/EP/DP info) when filling up Appeal / Application Form. Much faster as you DON'T need physical copies of COC for PR application.

Congratulations. Could you please confirm if there are any other options apart from Canada Post that is faster for sending fingerprints? I am facing a deadline that's seemingly impossible if I have to wait 2 weeks for the fingerprints to be delivered to SPF. Appreciate your advice!My Profile: In-Canada applicant.

Hi Yes you can. There's DHL that'll take 3 days. But will be a bit expensive. Check here: https://www.easyship.com/en-ca/shipping-rate-calculator/canada-to-singapore
(Note: SPF will ALWAYS use Singpost standard international shipping, so consider at least 10 days SG to CA delivery)
If you're really really tight on deadlines:
I don't know whether you're submitting eAPR or submitting Singapore COC after it's been requested by IRCC. But Singapore CoC afaik not needed for eAPR submission. Check here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/singapore.html
You can say you need a letter while you're submitting application. They'll send you a letter. And upload the COC later when they provide a link / via Web form.
You can google "Authorized Fingerprinting Services in Vancouver". I did from Montreal so don't know any one personally. You need make sure you use Singapore specific fingerprint form. You can download that from here: https://www.police.gov.sg/~/media/9FD075711C7B489BBAB1F0109197884E.pdf
Kindky advise what all documents need to be attached while making the appeal for Singapore COC.
I have got the ITA , but where is the letter stating that I need Singapore COC ? I am in Singapore only. How and where will I get this letter ?
I haven't submitted filling my post ITA details yet, please guide me.
Kindly advise.
