I made CSE to SGVO about file transfer. they replied .
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in Singapore.
You have enquired about having your file transferred to another visa office.
Applications may be processed by the visa office responsible for an applicant’s country of citizenship or the country of their legal residence. File transfers are carried out only for reasons of program integrity and not at the request of the applicant or at their designated representative. Please be aware that, if most of an applicant’s education and work experience has been in Singapore, then program integrity considerations make it likely that the file will remain in process in the Singapore visa office.
A request for transfer should explain how such a transfer would be in the interests of program integrity and provide proof of legal status for at least one year in the country served by the visa office in question. The list of visa offices and their countries of responsibility is available at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp.
To comply with the above legislative requirement, and in order for this office to assess a request to transfer a file to another visa office, we require evidence that the applicant is legally residing in the country where the visa office is located and that he or she has been lawfully admitted to that country for a minimum one-year period.
Proof of legal admission and residence may take the form of:
- A copy of the valid visa and passport.
- Proof of employment: If the applicant is employed, please also send a copy of the employment reference letter or a copy of the work contract. If the employment is temporary, provide the start and end dates of the job.
- Proof of study: If the applicant is studying, please submit documentation showing the course of studies, the institution attended, and the duration of the studies.
- Any other relevant documents.
The applicant is, in addition, required to submit a written request for the file to be transferred, including the reasons for the requested file transfer. The request must be signed by the principal applicant and sent, together with the above documents, to our office by mail. Our mailing address is below. Please note that there is no cost recovery fee for file transfers.
If the above criteria are not met, and the applicant still wishes to submit a new application in a different country, he or she may do so only after being legally admitted to that country with status valid for at least one year. Payment of new application fees will be required for any new application. If the applicant selects this option, processing will begin the date on which the new application is submitted. The file will be placed in a queue for review based on that date.
Once the new application is in process, the applicant may then choose to withdraw the application in process at this office by sending us a signed withdrawal request. If processing has not begun on the application, the processing fees are refundable. If the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) has been paid, it too is refundable.
At this time, this file will continue to be processed in the Singapore visa office. If we receive the required documentation, we will review the request for file transfer. Providing us with the above documentation does not, however, guarantee that the file will be transferred
We hope this information will be of assistance.
