suva, we will be praying for you. At least things are happening now instead of hurrying up to wait. Hopefully this will turn out to be the breakthrough you have been waiting for. Whatever happens, don't lose hope. After each victory comes a new crisis, and after each crisis comes a new victory.

No idea because I am new to the process here and only just learning how things work at the Singapore VO. If they have returned your documents then it's probably because they have reached some kind of decision, but no idea what that decision might be! Hopefully mirjahan is right and it just means they processed your file quickly and are getting ready to accept your application. Until their official communication comes, I guess all you can do is be patient, be ready for the worst and hope for the best.

Congratulations baobao! That's great to hear. From December 2010 to October 2011 is 10 months--it's a long time, but better than 21 months for sure! That gives me hope for our application too. Soon enough your wife will be flying out of VN to land in Canada with you. Hope that process concludes safely, quickly, and smoothly for both of you

thanks bro,

Our case was not quite straight forward, but it helped that we were assisted by a friend with vast experience in immigration applications. No interview, just waiting.

I hope that the rest of you guys reach a swift and positive result asap.

The past year has been quite tough.

Yup, Congrats Bao.

I was under the impression that long wait times before processing were near automatic interview. Good news. =)

If anything, it might be a bit of a crap shoot. But I highly recommend having a "professional" assist and critique your submission before you send it.

I can summarize my relationship and process if anyone is interested (and doesn't want to try to find the post). I consider my case strong (since it was approved), and it's important to make sure any obvious holes are not left uncovered prior to submission. I've heard about cases where the bride and groom had wildly conflicting "love stories/histories".

Few days ago, i was discussing with one of my friends found in this forum about our interview list. I told him, probably CIC will introduce "Conditional spouse visa" at the end of this month and will give us the option to choose either interview or conditional VISA. And that's why, they are sending more people in interview queue for very very minimum reason. They already introduced "Super Visa" for our parents ,i am thankful to them for this visa which will be effective by the end of this month. They are changing a lot of their very old immigration system to make it faster and bulletproof . I/We appreciate it. We already know that they are working on Conditional spouse visa and honorable minister said, it will be introduced at the end of this year. I pray and hope , we will get rid of this current situation by receiving this visa. So, be optimistic and don't give up your hope.

I hope you are right that they will introduce TRV I have seen the article on the parent and grand parent super Visa. It would be great if that happen. Singapore could spend their time scrutinizing those that only want Permanent Visa. It allow those couples that don't care whether it is permanent or temporary visa to live their lives.

I am confuse what it will help us. I do not understand what it will change.

CIC Eliminates Counterfoils for Approved PRs from Visa Exempt Countries

Operational Bulletin 348 –
November 14, 2011

Elimination of Counterfoils for Approved Permanent Residence Applicants from Visa-Exempt Countries

Summary

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will no longer issue a counterfoil to applicants approved for permanent residence from visa exempt countries. All approved applicants will continue to be issued a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) document.

Background

Currently, all applicants approved for permanent residence, even from countries exempt from the Temporary Resident Visa requirement, are issued a counterfoil and seal in the passport that they are using for their initial travel to Canada to become a permanent resident.

Instructions

As of December 1, 2011, missions will no longer issue a counterfoil to applicants approved for permanent residence, if the “CNTRY OF ISS. OF TRAVEL DOC:” field on the COPR identifies a regular passport issued by the United States of America or a country identified in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations 190(1)(a) or (b) or 190(2)(b), (c), (d) or (e).

The Canada Border Services Agency's Border Services Officers (BSOs) and Migration Integrity Officers in Canada and abroad will be advised of this change. BSOs will continue to evaluate individuals at the Primary Inspection Line and determine which persons are immigrating to Canada and refer those new immigrants to Immigration secondary for finalization of permanent residence status. In cases where the new immigrant is not finalized at the port of entry as required, staff should advise the individual to contact the CIC Call Centre for options to correct their status in Canada. The Call Centre will continue to follow their current procedures when contacted by immigrants who require finalization of permanent residence status.
