No i don't think it's the Guy in the spreadsheet. This guy got MR from SGVO on this Friday 27.10.2017. He did not do upfront MR. I don't know him and don't know he has account in canadavisa or not but he's a friend of my friend
and my friend is waiting for PPR and he's SINP then I think the infor is correct.
Also another guy (this guy I know) got ADR in mid-Oct and after submitting sufficient ADR, she got MR a few days ago. Her FT is end of Apr.
Another guy on the forum I followed got MR 23 Oct. His timeline as:
AOR 2nd Feb, 2017
File transfer 21st feb, 2017
MR 23rd Oct, 2017
It makes me hope that SGVO starts to process a new batch of MR for paper based.
