Hi,

On January 18 I received the request for police certificate and also my Background changed “we are processing you background”, last week I sent the certificate and received an email confirming the reception. Now I am a little worried because I don’t know how long will take the final decision. I am 3 months pregnant and if the process will take more than three months I will be more than six and I can’t fly, any thougths how long I have to wait more?
 
I have received the RPRF Request on 13th
February 2019.

Application recieved- 7th August
Medical passed
Biometrics done.
Additional documents- PCC submitted online.
Application was forwarded to Singapore VO on 3rd Jan.
AOR2 on 14th Jan.
BGC started processing in (mid) December.

Is there anything to worry about? I have received RPRF but no Pre-Arrival yet.
Does this mean I have to face an interview? Or the RPRF Requestesd means no interview? But what about the pre-arrival? Should I expect PPR next?

Congrats on the pregnancy. I wish you safe delivery! If your background check has started, and there isn't any complications with your travel history and security clearance, then you can expect to get PPR within a month or less, certainly not up to 3 months. You should, however submit your passport immediately you get it because visa stamping can also take some time. Overall, it really depends on the visa office in question but I don't think it should take 3 months to complete the whole process. Good luck

Background verification can take 3 months to 1 year depends. My wife don’t have any travel history. BGC started on December. We are still waiting for PPR.
 
When will you have the interview? Hope everything will be fine. Goodluck!

Hi Jasmine

We got an email this week that our interview is scheduled for 7 March 2019, and have been told it is not to see if our relationship is real. Its a meet and greet interview and because my fiancee has been living outside of Canada for 5 years. Very excited though, glad that we did not wait more than 3 weeks for an interview.

Good to hear that! I think they ảre processing faster. I just got PPR 3 days ago. Can say that it’s quite smooth so far. Hope you all will get the final steps soon.
