Singapore timeline

[lenardparnold]

Yea I am quite annoyed as well. Mine was "application recieved December 8th" and at the time I sent everything to Missisauga in October it also said about 8-9 months.... And then yea, it changed to 20 months.... Although now mine says "in process" as of June 1st. So that is weird that yours hasn't changed yet... And then I know others that sent their application even later than I did and have already been approved..... Although, coincidently they the online status changed to "in process" just a couple days after I sent an email to them wondering why other's were already "in process" even though they applications were recieved after mine...

Singapore really doesn't have their stuff together.....

So others are already landed and ours are being delayed... So they must think our wives are fraudulent whores... Bastards.....

Your right hello kitty. I never noticed but they still have our mailing address as being Canada. So maybe they did send it to Canada.... That's weird, I swear we changed our mailing address to our home address in Thailand like 4 months ago. Maybe they didn't get it? Hmmmmmm.

Well I'll just leave it for now and see what happens.

I have a similar situation. I moved houses within Thailand and emailed them my updated mailing address, but they never changed the address shown on the website. A month later I emailed them again to make sure, and they replied saying that they do indeed have our new address on file. 5 months or so later, they still haven't updated the CIC website so I assume they never will.

Just sent an angry email to the Member of Parliament for my hometown back in Canada. I suggest others do likewise, maybe we can get something done.

weird, i remember when i did the application for my wife, on the ecas it said App received May 17 2010, kept checking it everyday and finally one day it said June 17 2010 In process and we started processing your application and shortly like a week like around June 25th 2010 they sent a letter to my wife and said it required me to do my fingerprints eventhough the form doesnt say it so i went ahead and did a police check that was only a paper for RCMP record check which cost me 50$ then dont know why or how i went about emailing singapore and said that some one told me that you guys required FingerPrints the ink or electronically, so i spent another 50$ on digital fingerprint and those dudes in Ottawa checked my prints within 2 weeks and sent off my forms to Singapore. and on that letter it also said my wife was require to undergo an Interview and told us to wait to hear from them. so i emailed them like once every month and asking them whens the interview, and emailed my MP and Ottawa Immigration for Jason Kenney's office and they all replied back with Singapore's replies and that got no where. then i was slated to go back to vietnam to visit my wife again in December 2010 and from that point we didnt care about how much longer it wouldve took. we got used to the waiting. so finding out she was pregnant in January 2011 i came back to Canada in February 2011, and notified Singapore in April 2011 that she was pregnant for for some reason they sent my wife a letter near end of April 2011 and said her interview was in May 24 2011. i just know i bugged the hell of of everyone i can think of that could help or trigger singapore in anyway to look at our file so it doesnt sit there and collect dust. but i did it in a way that they wont ignore me. not 10 emails or 10 phone calls a day - everyday.

So to respond to myself on my other post i got a positive response from Singapore This time. emailed them like 3 times last night and 1 time today. called Citizenship and Immigration Canada in Canada today and spent 30mins with Singapore consular office yesterday. and did this today.

ME sent email -

Dear sir/madam,

Something I need to Clarify that is really a concern right now since my wife is 30 weeks pregnant now. please read below and reply ASAP please.

Sponsor = Sponsor Name ( Canadian Citizen by Naturalization)
Sponsored = Sponsored Name

I have already inquired about this matter that my wife if for any reason needs to give birth in vietnam (which her Permanent Residence VISA has been issued), your reply was that if she gave birth in vietnam her visa will be cancelled and baby would need medical done?
I have called Citizenship and Immigration Canada in Canada today and asked them if my wife which is residing in Vietnam and was granted Permanent Residence Visa and I am Naturalized Canadian and if she gives birth outside Canada it will not affect her VISA as my child will be born a Canadian Citizen. and we would not need to add the new born child to the application.


This is what i got from a FAQ on Korean Visa office website which should be same as other Visa Office. please let me know if I am right or wrong.

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/korea-coree/visas/faq.aspx?lang=eng

I have already submitted an application for permanent residence, and my spouse just had a baby. What should I do?


If your child was born in Canada or if one of its parents is a Canadian citizen, the child is therefore a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, you do not need to add the child to your application, no medical examination or fee is required. You must, however, send us a copy of his or her birth certificate. You should contact the Consular Section of the Embassy for information on obtaining citizenship and a Canadian passport for the child.

If the child was not born in Canada or if one of its parents is not a Canadian citizen, you must add the child to your application by sending us a copy of the birth certificate and the required number of photos. Your child will have to undergo a medical examination; we will provide the necessary forms after your child is added to the application. If the child is accompanying you to Canada, you will also have to pay the required fees and obtain a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) in his or her name if your province of destination is Quebec. If you have submitted a Simplified Application, please wait to inform us at the time we request the supporting documents.

SINGAPORE Response -


Dear Sir

Yes as you are a Canadian citizen your child need not do medicals.

The visa issued to your spouse expires DD MM 2012. She has to land in Canada before then otherwise her visa will be invalid.

In order to serve our clients better, we will NOT acknowledge receipt of documents or answer further correspondence. Please wait to hear from us.

[hello-kitty]

Could anyone stand for October, 2010 applicants.

My Thai Friends( again)

Singapore received their applications in November, December, January2011

Have got the letters or ecas updated application received, med results have me received etc. but, the October 2010 applicants are still waiting.

I don't get it!!!!

I sent email to ask them again and I don't care what are they going the do with my file.

It is such a unfair.

Yesterday the other Thai friend who's submitted her applicaion inside Canada got her PR within 9 months.

Oh my god, normally applying outside much faster than inside......what the _ _ ck !!! ( sensored)

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

hello-kitty:

Does your status say "Medical status has been received"?

Usually they send the letter once you have this under "In Process"

Nope, it shows just " in process" and I haven't got the letter yet.

My Thai October friends got the letter just only one, her application was processed on June 7
but, the other 2 friends who submitted in Oct remain unchanged on theire ecas, still say app received!!

The thing is the orthers who submitted their app in Nov, Dec got the letters or ecas changed to In Process and med results have been received or already got the COPR

My friend sent email and ask them what should her do becoz her med results are going to expire in Sep.

Singapore replied her " we sent the letter to you on June 13"


You should write the email like her.

She submitted her application in Nov 2010 and they started processing on June 6.
She got the backlog mail today July 15.

Canada Post still have tons of backlog mails, We were processed before her I think Singapore already sent us mail.

 

[lenardparnold]

Wow, well thats good news. A short backlog is better news then Singapore forgetting about our application.

So do I just email them with the address on the Singapore website? Or is there some special messaging service on E-case that would be more efficient.

Hello every one,
Me and my daughter are permanant resident. When I applied for pr my husband did not apply.right now I am living in Bangladesh and would like to sponsor my Son (13 months, born in Bnagladesh) and husband. Last week I applied for the TRV for my son and Study permit for my husband and got rejected stating that they are intending immigrant. I know to sponsor them i have to be in Canada. Now I have few questions:

1. Can I sponsor them without any job and any source of income in Canada? Is there any one who applied like me and got approved? I can show income in Bangladesh, like FDR, bank balance, and some dollars in my canadian bank account which I will take with me.
2. Is there any way I can take my son with me and then apply sponsorship as singapore processing time is 20 months. Will they give priority the dependent child case
3. My Pr application was procesed at Buffalo USA. Is there any possibility that they will send the application to Buffalo instead of Singapore?

Please reply me. I am really in a difficult situation and dont know what should I do right now.

Regards
Amy

1. In case of sponsorsing just a spouse I think there is no income requirement because they assume that your spouse will work, but if there is a dependent child you may need to make a certain amount of income per year/month, but I am not sure. There should be documents at the canadian immigration website that tell you the income requirements for the sponsorship of various types of people. (cic.gc.ca) Someone else here might know without looking as well.

2. Spouses and dependent children are supposed to be the fastest cases to process, and they are faster than other relatives, but at Singapore, unfortunately it is extremely slow anyways. To bring someone over on a trv before becoming a PR can be hard because of the "intent" thing, but it is kind of strange because dual intent is SUPPOSED to be ok. Some visa offices just don't know that. I believe it is possible to request your application be sent to a different office if you don't want Singapore, but I'm not sure if they let you do that all the time or how it works. Someone else may be able to help you more with your questions.

3. Again, I'm not sure how it works if you want to request your application be processed at the different office, but I think it is possible.

 

[hello-kitty]

Got CAIP Notes today.

The notes was printed on July5,2011

Singapore office hasn't looked at my medical results yet.

Kind of dissapointed :'(

No mail in the backlog obviously.
