We recently got our PPR at long last, and finally got everything we needed to send it off today via the Visa Processing Centre in Bangkok. My question - how long does it take on average for Singapore? The cover letter we got says about 1 month, but I hardly believe anything they have to say.

What is your experience?

I don't get it, you didn't have an interview, but why did it take so long just to get a PPR?

Your guess is good as mine. The moment my file hit in-process, I got my PPR. Lost in the shuffle is my best guess.

Probably had the slowest Visa Officer in Singapore
Singapore received our PP on March 13th
Decision made April 11th and received PP back in Canada on May 1st

You can expect it to take approximately 1 month to get it back

I sure hope it will only take one month. We decided to have it sent via the Visa Processing Center in Bangkok rather than sending it ourselves to Singapore - They were quite professional and polite, and even went over everything to ensure it was ready and 'perfect' for when it's delivered. Just waiting now..

When did your ecas go to decision made? after a few weeks, or at the end just before they sent your PP back? Ours still says in-process.
