Hi, ako may ganyang reason s refusal. I'm working in SG, with valid work pass. Hindi lang sa akin may ganong refusal, its the same with 2 more pinoys n nag-apply dito sa SG Visa Office. Same work status namin. We included a copy of our permit sa application, pero not satisfied p rin.
Meron naman kaming kasabay n pinoy, permanent resident dito, refuse din sila pero hindi kasama sa refusal yang reason n yan.
Based sa research namin, hindi kasama sa priority ng SG Visa Office ang mga Pinoy, unless PR dito. According to this site:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/singapore.asp
Pero nag-email ako sa SG Visa Office for clarification, eto sabi nila..
"If you are a legal resident of Singapore (i.e. the government of Singapore sees you as a legal resident in their country and you are not residing in Singapore illegally), then you are eligible to have your study permit application processed at our Singapore office."
Ang gulo lang. Kaya nag re-apply ako, diretso na sa PH Visa Office, para maiwasan yang refusal factor n yan.
You can try to search for Dubai or Abu Dhabi Office from CIC website or email mo rin sila for clarification. Hope this helps.
