Dear friends,
Today i had my Interview at Singaopore Visa office and i need your advise:
The officer was very nice gentleman , he started the interveiw saying that in case i say something not true i might be banned from applying to canada for 2 years, and he introduced him self he is from the Border agency and not from CIC , his job is to detect fraud .
His main concern for this interview was to verify that my representative wasnt a paid rep as per what i have declared in my application.
Officer was asking many questions, like who is this guy ? how you met him , i explained to him that this guy is a lawyer and i met him at my restaurant back in 2009 and later on he became a regular guest who frequented the place with his wife .
when i planned to apply to Canada i found out many questions and things that are tough for me to understand , in addition CIC has many points not cleared on the website regarding many things for supported documents , so i called him and asked him for assistance , and he agreed to help me filling the application , i have also visited his office twice chose him a representative , i didnt pay him anything as he was doing this a favour for me as i used to welcome him in my restaurant and extend generous discounts for him , being a regular customer there .
In addition, as i was leaviing Dubai and comming to Singapore , and since i have no registered address in Dubai , i wanted an active adress for correspondance with CIC as am still new to Singapore and dont have yetpermenant physical address to communicate with CIC regarding my application.
The Officer was asking me if i was offered job in Canada by this gentleman , or if he asked for money after the visa is issued, i replied abosluetly not , thats truth , i havent paid him a penny .
The officer showed me couple of what i saw visa copies, the lawyer has posted on his site claiming he can get immigration visas to applicants .
i told the officer , i have seen his website once , but i havent noticed these images, moreover when i visited his ofice i noticed he offers copncultancy for immigration to Australia, NZ, UK and study visas to Canada .
the officer was writing all these on a poece of paper , then he asked me what do i do in life, where i work, how old iam , my sons age, Natoinality and some friendly personal chat , where my brother stays in Canada, and where am planning to land in canada ...
Lastly he said so sure you didnt pay him?
i answered absoluetly not sir, i wont lie in my application and risk my future and family future.
he said : hope you said truth as we dont want to call you gaian in here and then it will be bad thing for you .
I said absoluetly sir, he repeated what i have said in my statement( he was reading from the note pad) when he finoshed , i told him i have noticed i have filled my Sons briothday in the application wrong and i need to fix it , he searched in my file and got out the form , he comapred it with my sons passport dates, and said oh yes you are right , he put a small tape on that page and said i will ask the CIC visa officer to look into it.
I told him i have sent last week to Singaore VO , represenative cancellation form as am now settled in singapore and i dont need his assitance anymore , and i have updated my permemanat residency card in Singapore copy, and updated my mailing address and submitted my new passport copy .
he asked me to wait outside in the waiting area
After 10 minutes or less , he came out personally ( before the interview was done with glass bewteen us)
he gave me my passport and some supporting documents i brought, he gave it back to me , he shook hand with me and said thanks for comming.
I asked him when do i expect my Medeical Request?
he said , well thats the job of the Visa section am the border agency section.
again we shook hand and said in case we need any info we will let u know .
So Guys what do u think ?
is it a succesful interview ?
Honestly i havent paid my representative, although it seems he is fooling applicants but in my case i havent paid him and he didnot promise me any thing, maybe because of the friendship i had with him !
