Wow, kung alam ko lang, dito nako nag process ng NBI kesa sa umuwi ako last November. Well at least alam ko na ngayon sakaling abutin ako ng expiry ng NBI ko (this Nov 16), dito na lang ako kukuha ng NBI renewal. Kelan nyo makukuha NBI clearance nyo sa embassy natin?
The Singapore police clearance is the last thing they will ask from you. Once natapos nyo na medical nyo, a month later they will ask for additional documents thru email. You will receive a personal history form that you and your spouse need to fill up about your whereabouts (and your spouse's as well) since graduation in college till the last job na na-declare ninyo sa kanila doon sa mga unang dokumentong sinumite mo sa CIC -- included sa email are some forms addressed to Singapore police here in Cantonment, and 10 days lang nasa Canadian Embassy (CEM) na yung police clearance ninyo. You won't be able to get the police clearance not unless you hold this letter. Madali na yang part na yan. Walang pila dito sa Cantonment police centre, and $50sgd ang bayad. After 10 days, you can verify sa kanila if they were able to send it sa CEM. Sila kasi ang nagpapadala ng police clearance sa embahada, hindi tayo. You know how the queueing up system here is brilliant, so once you process that, walang sweat. Di tulad sa NBI natin sa Pinas, sad to say. Talagang dadaan ka sa butas ng karayom doon. How is it dito sa Phil embassy natin? Patayan din ba at matagal ba nila issue sayo ang NBI clearance?
Keep in mind that if you have any other countries you lived for more than 6 months since you graduated from college, kumuha ka na ng police clearance from that country. Dyan ako natagalan dahil after I graduated, I lived in Malaysia (primero kasi hindi naman hiningi ng Canada yung nineteen kopong kopong history ko) and unfortunately, heto ang last requirement sa amin, personal history pag ka graduate till Sept 2001 (yung ang initial date na delcared namin sa mga unang papers na submitted) at ang saklap niyan, ang Malaysian embassy, nagbibigay ng police clearance after 2-3 months. That's why I'm still here in SG waiting for the police clearance in snail mail which will arrive in 2 months tops, as I write. But I'll be tendering my resignation next month po, because we need 1 month notice dito sa work. Only dito sa SG ang humihingi ng letter from the embassy before they can issue you the police clearance, same process with US immigration. Yung kasama ko sa work, she wanted to get police clearance in advance, kaso hiningan siya ng letter from the US embassy requiring the reason for getting the police clearance. So once dumating na yung letter na yun from CEM, oks na yan, madali lang kumuha dito sa Cantonment, wala pang pila, punta na kayo ng 8:30am.
Good luck po sa ating lahat. Parang isang batalyon ang pag proseso ng lahat ng ito, pasasaan din at lalabas tayong victory
