maikan quick question: did u get the request for passport in a letter to your address (home), or through an email??

 

[Hasan9999]

My hubby received his passport,medical extn and police certificate request Yesterday.There mentioned that it'll take one month to print the visa.But here I have seen that people are wating for long to get their passport back.That's why I want to know,actually how long it take to get the passport back from svo?

Could please clarify what is medical extn ? Does it mean your spouse will have to do medical again? Thank you.

 

[Hasan9999]

It's not always you will get response in 28 days. you may get response in 2/3 days. I do not know you can contact passport specification or not. If you want just send an email and clearly tell that your decision was made 7th April but still you did not get your passport back. Hope you will get a response soon. Good luck.

Did you get your PP with spouse's PR stamp back from SVO? Thank you.

We received an envelope at our home address in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In the envelope was the request letter, some additional information papers, as well as the photos and receipts we had sent with our application.

Maikan: Oh I see I was under the assumption that would inform by email also...on the paper work it indicates that if an email is given the correspondence will be through email.

We still don't know exactly what's the best way to proceed to send our documents and finalize the whole thing.

Help, please?

In the passport request letter :

1- They ask to provide an updated Thai police certificate, but it's also said that "If you have already submitted a police certificate which is still valid, you do not need to submit a new one". The certificate we provided with our application was issued on August 2013, so it's ok, right?

2- They say that Thai nationals MAY send their passport through the Canada Visa Application Center in Bangkok (VSF Global), but since we live in Chiang Mai, we'll have to send it there by post anyway... We'd rather send it directly to Singapore by registered mail... Do you think it's ok? Thai Post is very reliable, and we'd have a tracking number.

3- I'm not sure I understand correctly this warning : "Visas can only be issued to a maximum validity of 12 months from the date of your most recent Immigration Medical Examination (IME) assessment." My wife had her IME last August. Does it mean that the visa the will affix in her passport will only be valid until August 2014?? I thought the visa was always valid for one year. If not, perhaps we'll have to do the IME again...

Help would be appreciated. I emailed Singapore, but as we all know, they are not very responsive...

My wife submitted her passport today through VFS Dhaka. *Fingers crossed* Let's see how long this takes now.

hey everyone, i am looking at others post and see that it takes more then a month for them to send the passport back from singapore with the PR seal, is it true? My passport was sent on 6th of may and I am expecting a baby in june 18th in Canada. Do you think I will get my passport by 10th June (a little more then a month) so I can be there for the baby?

Its stressing me so much.

Hi smahmud,

I would have a new Police check done and send as somewhere I read that they are only valid for 3 months

I would send the passport by registered mail or courier directly to Singapore

If they issue the visa and copr quickly you will only have until August to land in Canada... we had to redo part of the medical for an extension so therefore we have until 2 years from the original medical to land

Hope this helps

Thanks for your answer.

In the letter we received it says the police certificate is valid for one year, so that should be ok, I guess...

Ya, we'll probably send it by courrier to Singapore, it will be just as safe, in my opinion.

I'm still puzzled by this medical exam thing, though... They say they will affix the visa within one month when they've received the passport. So really, in July they would affix a visa that expires in August??? That'd be strange...

 

[Believe_Miracles]

Has anyone received passport requests via email as well? Or atleast a supplementary email? My husband lives in a bit rural area and we usually get all our mail but it has gone missing before....
Hope everyone is well and good news keeps rolling in.

We received our passport request through email. We live in Thailand and the mail can be unreliable, we wrote the office and told them this and hey agreed to send our information through email.
