Our Singapore timeline Vietnamese wife

[Tonguedang]

Hi guys,

I could really use your help. Since the above quote, the Singapore office returned a number of photos and forms that they didn't need. There was no interview letter in the package. I've just recently check my status on line, and it says that the decision has been made concerning our case. I'm not sure when the decision was made because I don't check it regularly.

Here are my questions:

- why haven't they ask my wife for her passport?
- does the DM online mean we're almost done?
-

Hey guys,

Good news, my wife got her visa. My wife has decided to come in July. The visa expires in August.

I'm hoping you guys can help with a couple more questions. What does it mean that her visa expires mid August? Do we need to renew it in August? Is she allowed to travel to other countries?

Hey congrats! What happened with the passport issue thing? Did you send them YOUR passport, then they asked for your wife's later?

The visa expiring is not a big deal, just means she has to land in Canada as an immigrant before that date. Don't have to renew anything. Once she lands before the expiry, she will be allowed to continue to remain in Canada permanently as a conditional PR, then she has to wait a couple months or so to get her PR card.

Once she lands, of course she's allowed to travel to other countries. But you have to remember that since she's not a Canadian citizen, she won't be able to get a Canadian passport, thus she won't be able to have the same visa-free travel ability as the rest of us. Despite being a Canadian PR, she will still be treated as having a Vietnamese passport only, so she will still have to apply for a visa to enter most places.

Thanks for the info. They did need my passport. I guess they wanted all the pages and I had only sent them the ones that had my visas.

Thank you to everyone working hard to maintain this thread. I'd like to add my info to the mix, to help provide a more complete reference for those who are in the middle the application process -- and to add to that awesome spreadsheet that gets put out every once in a while.

Right now, we're in the middle of the application process and everything seems to be going smoothly (I'm sponsoring my wife, who is Vietnamese):

Category: Family Sponsorship
Visa Office: Singapore
Medical Completed: January 21, 2016
App. Filed: January 25, 2016
AOR Received: March 3, 2016
SA Received: March 8, 2016

(how do I add this to my profile, by the way?)

I hope we all get through in reasonable time...!

Hello dmac.

You need to make 10 posts. And wow with how quick you got AOR and SA!!! All the best.

 

[dmac]

Hmmm, 10 posts... got it! Thanks htquach.

Hehe, I hope my wife's PR application will go smoothly. Is anyone else applying from a country which is neither Canada nor your wife's country of nationality?

I've noticed with applications like these, there is no way to be 100% satisfied with any amount of preparation you do...

If I have some additional materials I wish to send to Singapore to strengthen my application (eg. recent call logs, etc.), where and how should I send them? I can't seem to find Singapore's address anywhere...

IF you send anything else do it through a "case specific enquiry" although if you are to send anything else I would recommend only sending stronger proofs than call logs such as recent photos together, passport stamps, boarding passes etc.

Thanks for the reply, ImABule. More concretely, I was planning to send an updated FB log, as well as some in-passport visa photocopies. We're living together in a country where we are both required to have visas (and provided the visa photocopies for that country in the original application), but we did not include photocopies of visas for other places we have gone. Maybe I'm thinking too much, bit I feel sending them in would give me peace of mind.

Would I just scan the photocopies in and send them online via the case specific inquiry form provided on the cic website?

 

[dmac]

One more question: how do we check my wife's ecas? Will my wife and I use the same uci or will the cic send her a new one? Or can we only check her status through my ecas?

Scanned copies are fine.

I think you should have a file number or application number?

 

[dmac]

Thanks again, ImABule. I'll try out our application number too. I suspect we can't log onto my wife's ecas yet because her application is still in transit to SVO.

Any update on your file yet?

Nah, haven't even gotten AOR1 yet unfortunately.

 

[dmac]

We just tried logging onto my wife's ecas using our Application No. from Mississauga's AOR and it worked! Seems the uci is for each individual person.

The content reads:
Application Received
We received your application for permanent residence on January 25, 2016.
Medical results have been received.


(January 25th being the date received listed in Mississauga's AOR)

Seems now we just have to wait for it to turn to "In process"...

Hang in there, ImABule!
