Thank you MikeyMyke for reminding us. What you advise us is also stated in the PPR email. CIC always makes sure they hold the handle of the knife, not the blade ??? ???

However, the email is also mark as Urgent, stating that the VISA will be expired on Aug 16 2016 (the expiry date of my wife's medical exam). Is this a good sign?
Hi Phamhainguyen68 ,

Yesterday, my wife got an email informed that they return all documents and photos.Also, they asked to sent 2 photos , passport and fill out Appendix B(including in email).Did your wife have the same request ? They do not need any re-medical or criminal report.

Dear xxx
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. The processing of your
application is almost complete. Before a permanent resident visa can be issued to you (and your
accompanying family members, if applicable), you will need to follow the steps below.
Note: This letter is not a guarantee that a visa will be issued to you.
 Please submit two (2) passport-sized photos taken within the last six (6) months of you
and each of your accompanying family members. Information regarding photo
specifications for Permanent Residents can be found here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
***Please note that our photo specifications have recently changed. Please review the
information in this guide for the most up-to-date specifications.***
Please do not staple the photos. Enclose the photos of each person in a separate envelope.
On each envelope, write your application number and the name of the person whose photos
are enclosed. Submit the photos in the same package as the passport(s).
 Please submit original passports for:
1. You;
2. Your spouse/common-law partner (if applicable); and
3. All dependent children who will accompany you to Canada (if applicable).
See Appendix A for instructions on how to submit your passport(s) and photos.
Before you submit your passport(s):
o Check that there are at least two (2) blank pages in each passport.
o Check that you have ordinary passports. Permanent resident visas for Canada cannot be
issued in Diplomatic or Official passports.
o Check the expiry date of all passports. Passports should be valid for at least twelve (12)
months.
IMPORTANT NOTE about Visa and Passport validity
You should ensure that everyone in your family has a passport valid for a minimum of twelve (12)
months from the date you submit your passport(s). If any of the passports will expire soon, it is in your
best interest to obtain new or updated passports to ensure your permanent resident visas are issued with
maximum validity.
Fill out the form we have included as Appendix B and enclose it with your passport(s) and
photos.
 If you or any of your accompanying family members currently holds a valid temporary
resident visa, study permit, or work permit for Canada in an expired passport, please
submit the expired passport with your current passport.
You must comply with the above requirements within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the refusal of your application.

This is an email i got , is it the same with some of you guys ? I saw some threads before that they mention about fill out the Appendix A. In my email they change to Appendix B instead Appendix A is instruction to summit my document.

Hi Nghile,

The email we received from the VO did not state that they returned the documents or photos back. However, the attachment has the same content as yours, and we are required to fill out the Appendix B as well. The content of the email itself is as follow:

Dear Applicant,

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Note: This letter is not a guarantee that a visa will be issued to you.

You must comply with the attached request within thirty days (30) from the date of this email. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the refusal of your application.

Information regarding photo specifications for Permanent Residents can be found here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
Let's wait for a few days and check the ECAS status. Ours changed from In Progress to Decision Made 4 days after we received the email.

Let's hope this is a good news for you two!!

Nothing much in my notes on April, everything is "not started". I dont know if a had any red flags in our case but I think its not. We became a couple and getting married in 1 year, same age, same religion (catholic), married on second visiting, traditional wedding. We knew each other since we're 8 years old but never made any conversation until 2014 :) ,of course this is first marriage of both. My proofs are contract of reception, bill, invitation card, remittances, baptismal certificate, wedding and honey moon photos, air plane tickets, chat log, video call log and our friendship print out from FB ( chat log and video call log were shredded )

Congratulations Nghile !! Wow really glad the singapore vo has started to send out ppr after months of silence.

Guys I'm really curious has anyone gotten aor 2 email from the singapore vo? Or the line of " medical results has been received" is equivalent to aor2? My husband has filed up the pr application via an attorney and the sa approval email was sent to the attorney. No email was sent to my husband ( the sponsor). Is there a high possibility that the ppr request wil b sent to the attorney?
Thanks in advance guys.
