@ Viveks

Pls update my details also.

Hi hitesh. Please visit the signature at the bottom of my post and create your own profile. It takes 2 mins.

Quick question - since I have another profile (where I am the primary applicant), would CIC take more time to decide my case? I.E. would this weigh negatively in my case? Should I reject the ITA right away?

Just go to the nearest RCMP with 2 photo ids ( passport and driver's license or SIN). Just fill out the form they have there, get your finger prints done and that's it.

Despite having received PPR directly from visa office on feb 23rd, on MyCIC the status was until yesterday "background check in progress".
We sent the passports right away, and they arrived VO on march 2nd.

Yesterday (march 13) it changed to:

Application status A final decision has been made. Please see the final decision below.
Review of eligibility Your eligiblity has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview Not applicable.
Background check Your background check was completed.
Final decision Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

Today I received an e-mail from CIC stating there has been an update. I checked and it was the same as yesterday i.e. the e-mail came late, just that.

There is no new message below yet.

The questions are:
Does this means that our visas were stamped and the passports are in the mail?
In the letter with the passports we asked them to send the passports to a relative's address, close to the airport, as we'll be handing the keys of the apartment to the landlord soon, and we live several hundreds of kilometers away: we don't want to come back to look for passports.
Will they do that, or just send back to our current, yet, address?
We are concerned as we have bought the plane tickets to the end of april.

Thank you!

the e-appeal decision comes (if it is accepted or rejected) about 3-5 business days after your submission. then once it is accepted, you can do the official COC online application and send the full application by courier/post mail with all the necessary docs (including the fingerprints)
for my fingerprints, I went to the Singapore embassy (in France coz I currently live in France) to do them because only them were willing to do the fingerprints and also I did the fingerprints on a specific form that Singapore embassy provided. im not sure whether we can do the fingerprints on any miscellaneous form but I suggest that you get the specific Singaporian form for that (to avoid any bad surprise and potential rejection by SPF and thus waste more time ...) or at least to contact SPF to clarify this matter (but be careful, sometimes SPF's replies are very slow ... they even replied to me more than 1 month after my information request ...)
and if your are not in Singapore anymore, the best is to ask a relative or friend to collect it on your behalf because otherwise SPF will send the PCC/COC by normal post mail and it can take even more time to reach you (fyi, u just need to upload in the CIC website a scan copy of your COC. the originals could still be in Singapore but you have already uploaded the necessary document on the CIC website )
for that, u just need to thick the box "proxy" and give the full name and ID details (passport number etc ...) when applying for your COC once the e-appeal is approved but you will need to provide a letter of authorization to your relative or friend (for him/her to collect on your behalf)

fyi, i do no longer live in Singapore so I asked a friend still living there => i sent her all the necessary documents (including the requested docs by SPF + fingerprints + the letter of authorization to collect on my behalf) by DHL then my friend post mailed the necessary docs to SPF and then once the COC was ready, she just needed to bring along her ID (passport or whatever ID you mentioned in your application) and the letter of authorization to collect it. and finally she sent me by scan email and I straight away uploaded it in my CIC account

in total, the process took me about 3-4 weeks but from the time SPF received my docs by post mail and the time that my COC was ready, there was approx. 1 week (but not sure if this could be considered as a standard timeline ...)

i hope these details will help you in your application.

good luck

thanks for your help, really appreciate. hope you get ppr soon! good luck !

I had a tough time taking that print too. Try going to 'view entire message' where the whole email then has the complete annex A, and when we print that page, the whole table comes in one page. That's how it worked for me, hope it works for your friend.

I did the same thing that but the entire email is coming as a printout, that too, Annex A has come in two pages(half and half like that). Can you please help me how to take printout that particular Annex A form without taking entire email?
