You don't need to panic or worry but you can send a friendly email to the VO requesting update about your PRV(s).

It takes up to a month(30days) at times for the endorsement of the PRV(s) on your Passport(s).

Dear All


This BD_Dhaka. Though I am not that much familiar I have asked for 02/03 topics. This is my 1st mail from Toronto I left BD on Dec 23,2014 by Turkish Air. I would like to share some of my experience with you :

1. While carring extra money in BD Airport its your luck whether the security checkers will hold you. I have flown several times bt for the 1st time I been checked they wanted to count the money. Bt the Best thing is They take open bribe carry around BDT 5-10,000 in case of emergency. ...WOW ...my suggestion Bring as much possible as you can and put a handsome amount of BDT with you for Bribe. Here you can easily convert BDT into CAD.

2. Pls. donot try to fly by Turkish its more than rubbish. My flight was delayed from dhaka airport so I missed connecting flight as a result I need stay there but the problem started at Turkey airport where no one understands English so they cannot guide. You need take visa to avail the hotel (This is available @ $20/passport from the right corner of the airport). Then you have to stand a long line to get ur Hotel Connection (Its at the ground floor right corner of the airport). Now come to the flight Food is below average and the service was not upto the mark. If you are more than 5-8" dont travel u cannot seat there like me u need to put ur one leg at Aile and move it all the time when some one passes (Better to buy premium economy seats is possible from istambul to toronto; from dhaka this is not available). No kids meal is available. But my suggetion try to fly cathey pacific (Dragon air) you will find class passengers no labor....the most disgusting its like middle east flight full labor packed and because of them u cabin crews do want to come. Or you can try Saudia.....Though Dhk-Riadh/Jeddah is not good due to labour....bt From there to Toronto....its the best....Saudia has best economy class seats in terms of Leg Space. Please check Saudia and/or Cathey Pacific (Dragon Air) before you cut tickets

3. The rest is immigration its I will say....Dont worry just prepare the landing forms earlier (2 sets) and take photos (2sets) of ornaments....they are really helpful and if you have kids.......then Hurry u can feel the diffarance ....like I felt...LOL ...always preveliged....Try to Bring 1dollar/2 dollar coins (Penny and tunni) so that u can take luggage trolleys. If you cannot manage then take CAD10 so that you can hire a porter who will carry all your luggage.

4. After landing SIN Card, health Card............dont worry....these are systematic........you will feel why we want to come here...everywhere you will find newcommers office.... so their straight they will directly help you...Dont worry atall.
5. For jobs ..........no need think just come first....u will find lot of agencies....they will help you....just be patient....

Last bt not the Least ....[size=10pt]Welcome to Canada.[/size]

Yahh i also heard some bad and good things.

In terms of waiting time for the connecting flight, Turkish airways has only 3.5 hrs transit time. Thats why my uncle used to travel with this airways. But my brothers travel with Cathey Pacific or other airways. But some people suggest to avoid Heathrow airport, London where immigration officers liked to do so much query/trouble on there. In this perspect some people uses Turkish.

Hello everyone..
My application was received by CIC on 30th November, 2012.
After 5 months on April they informed my husband that he have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor and file has been transferred to CIC Singapore office.
It's been 9 months they don't inform me anything , even they don't ask for any papers so far ..
we have applied GCMS NOTES but not really informative ...
I don't know what to do next to expedite my process ...
If you have any idea regarding this topic please share ...

thanks...

Actually aapuu, u dont have anything to do to expedite the process. Its totally upto lazy SGVO officers.

Just wait and see. There is lots of applicant like you who are waiting for the good news.
So stay calm. Anyway can u please share on which category and noc ur husband applied?

You may visit to the following forum to know current status of similar timeline's SGVO applicants and 2013 applicants:

SGVO = Singapore Visa Office

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/singapore.asp

SGVO is not really lazy. It is over-burdened with applications. If you check the above link, it will say:

"Responsible for Permanent Resident Applications from: Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam"

So, they are handling the Permanent Resident applications of 11 countries & I can bet that they did not even double the number of employees when they were only serving 1-2 countries. So, the SGVO officers are over-burdened with work.

Thus, they make more mistakes & more delay than any other Visa Office. They just do not have the man-power to handle 11 country applications. They should employee more officers.

Yes Khan vai, u r absolutely right. Along with this, quota issue also does matter in my sense. Definitely, they have some quota issue per yr which is relatively low against the applicant. Here is an email response from SGVO, i posted earlier which prove this matter :

I have emailed to SGVO for the processing delay of SGVO and they replied the following.
