Hey guys,

How long does it take for SGVO to return the passport with VISA and COPR?

I have Submitted PP to VFS on 6/3/17
PP Forwarded to SGVO 7/3/17
PP Received at SGVO and under process since 9/3/17

Mine was received by SGVO on 7th March and it is under process since then. I think we should receive it by next week.

Hi All,

I am also Bangladeshi and got my ITA on March 01, 2017. I have one query regarding Employment Reference Letter.

Could anyone let me know if I need to put NOC in the Employment Reference Letter? If yes, I will ask my employer to do so.

Will appreciate if you could let me know asap. Thanks

Hi All,

Has anyone submitted the e-APR? If yes, what is the next step after e-APR? And how long does CIC take to get back to the applicant?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, haha. Yes, I understand that they might reject our application but I wanted to be optimistic/hopeful, so asked the timeline if anyone has the recent experience about the timeline for Express Entry applications. Thanks

The first update you will have in your MyCIC profile after e-APR is that your Medical Status will change to "Pass". Don't be alarmed if you do not see the changes in couple of days as this could also take more than a month.

Then quickly afterwards the background check status may or may not change to Not Started from Not Needed.
It will again may change from Not Started to Not Needed. This change often indicates that you file has been moved to your local Visa office (for Bangladeshi applicants it's usually Singapore Visa Office aka SGVO).

Now you wait for the Background check status to change from Not Needed to In Process. Ideally, a Passport Request is expected in next few days after the BG status is changed to IP.

The entire process may take from 2 months to 6 months but no one can really predict. It usually depends on an applicant's profile and how Visa office is working.

I suggest you keep an eye on the thread of your AOR and also see the immitracker to get a clear idea.

Guys, great news! The mystery of the "Replacement Needed" upload button in MyCic account after getting PPR has now been solved.

After searching for over a week and discussing with many fellow applicants with same situation, we were able to make a ground breaking discovery in the DEC AOR WhatsApp group.

It turns out this field is only applicable for the applicants who are from Visa Exempted Nation. Such applicants do not have to send the physical copy of their passport to their designated Visa office. They can simply upload them to their MyCic account. The applicants who are not from Visa Exempted nation such as myself, need to send the physical copy of their passport to the Visa office. This is why my PPR letter said it in red text not to upload photo and passport.

One of the WhatsApp group members shared his PPR letter from LVO, which had the exact clue that we have been looking for. SGVO was more direct on the instruction rather than explaining it.

Therefore, case is closed. Those who are from Visa Exempted nation can now simply ignore the replacement needed field and relax soon after you send the physical copy of your passport to your designated Visa office.

Thank you everyone who participated in the discussion process and helped to reach a conclusion.
