Singapore timeline

[Bjohn]

Hi, everyone. Glad to see a lot of DMs and PPRs lately. Congratulations to all! Anyway, I’ve been a silent reader on this forum, mostly just doing research about the order of processes in Singapore VO. But so far, I haven’t seen anyone post exactly about AOR 2, specifically the contents of the letter.

Btw, just a bit of background about my application (detailed one is on my signature )
I’m a November 27, 2017 applicant. On February 13, 2018, my husband received an email of what I believe is the File Transfer Email saying... “This confirms that the Application for Permanent Residence has been forwarded to Singapore Visa Office for further processing.”

Numbers 2 and 3 appeared on my ECAS last night (around 8PM Singapore time):

1. We received your application for permanent residence on November 27, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 1, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on February 28, 2018.
4. We sent you correspondence on January 20, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

Now, my questions are:

a. Is the File Transfer Email the same as what most people refer to as an AOR 2?? I mean, I do understand that from the meaning itself, it’s supposed to look like the AOR we got from the beginning of the process. But, it’d really be of great help if I get confirmation from people whose VO is also Singapore since I haven’t really received any email from the Singapore Visa Office about them receiving my file. I’m not really sure what to expect now.

b. Does anyone here have the same line number 2 as mine? If so, does that mean it could possibly be the AOR 2?? Also, did anyone receive an email? Or was it sent as a message on GCKey?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my queries. Would really appreciate hearing from you regarding your experiences with Singapore Visa Office. All the best to everyone!

Erique

hi there
a/ i received a email stated they had received my file only, but when i scolled down to last part and found out it was sent by High commission of Canada in Singapore . i assume the email is kind of AOR to confirm that they have my file in Singapore , then you should check your email once again . hope this helps
b/ in my opinion , line num 2 is showing as AOR2 . you should expect to be required to send them Police certificate and IMM 5669 soon .

Hi, @Bjohn and @ojofar Thanks a ton for your responses. Really appreciate it!! So, the SVO indeed sends an AOR2. Got it! I was just kind of confused as some people in a group chat I’m in kept saying that the File Transfer Email is just the same as AOR 2 and that there’s no such thing as an acknowledgement letter from the local VO. So, I just wanted to make sure that I’m supposed to get an email from SVO and that I just have to wait for it

Also, thank you for pointing it out. I’ve actually received the Schedule A and PCC request letter on January 20 (the number 4 line on my ecas ) after I’ve linked my application to GCKey. All done submitted on February 2. After a long while, it was only last night that I’ve noticed some changes on my GCKey, under the Review of Additional Documents, it changed from “The additional documents you provided have been uploaded.” to “We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.”

So, my next question is, based on your experiences, how long did you have to wait from the time you received AOR 2 to the next correspondence from SVO?
Am I right to assume that Medical Request is coming soon??

Once again, thank you for clarifying my concerns

Keeping fingers crossed!

Congrats on your app! Hope you get the passport with visa soon!

We already applied but just recently (we did the app ourselves too).. Hopefully it will go smoothly.

Ya it’s amazing how fast they are finishing the applications.

I did hear that canadian government wants to bring 300k immigrants this year and going to increase 10k to 15k per year

Canada needs immigrants. But most ppl don’t lie immigrates. But we are all immigrants.
