This is Jan. 2012 thread!
Each case is different and waiting+ processing time for different countries are different! I would suggest joining a thread of applicants from the same country
Good luck

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd let you know that our approval came through last week! We're really excited. Due to work, we'll be waiting until December before heading to Canada (not really looking forward to arriving in the winter, but we'll survive)

All the best to everyone that is still waiting. I hope everything goes smoothly for everybody!

For Singapore Vos application, if you are in Singapore I suggest you guy go visit them. They are super nice and very helpful in person. Maybe they can help to speed things up.
Cheers.


Hi mightymuffin: who are very helpful ? Did you mean VO/IO at the SVO? How would you even contact them? Speed up too? Please tell us little more. Thanks in advance.

We requested for GCMS notes last September 11 since we were the only ones left from the Jan-Manila batch who has yet to receive a DM on our application to be sent electronically (e-mail)

My husband received a letter from the office to his surprise today , unfortunately, the letter that he received did not contain the notes that we were expecting rather a letter whose Applicants Name, Visa Office and even the indicated date when the request was sent WERE WRONG.

The letter is addressed to my husband but

My name is far from being a Chinese Name ( I am a Filipino), our visa office is Manila not Hongkong, and again we sent our request on September 11 not August -something.

This is just far too depressing, the feeling that we were left out because even those who applied in March, some had received DMs already.
We were relying on those notes so atleast we would have an idea why our application has been taking so long, but this happened.

It's a sad sad day, to think we had to wait for almost a month and we ended up with nothing.

My husband will call and email the concerned department/ office to clarify this mistake. My mother-in-law was even suggesting that they go to the office themselves but we told her that we would not be entertained if they just walk-in.

We too asked that the GCMS notes be sent thru email, as we indicated on the request that's why my husband was surprised to receive a snail mail from them.

But again, the thing was how inaccurate can they be? They addressed the letter to my husband but everything that is indicated on that piece of paper were wrong! from the applicants name, to the visa office, to the date when the GCMS notes request was sent. :mad:

he already did email them and will call them after the long weekend. and if we wont be receiving any reply from them after a week. we'll seek the help of our MP.
definitely this is something that the concerned people should reply to. the mix up is definitely alarming plus now that ive found out that there are several out there who hasn't received their notes yet after more than a month of waiting.

They never respond to emails nor calls...there is a voice mail...you won't talk to a person
I have contacted the MP again however his office won't interfer because I'm within the f???ing processing times...even with all the BS we get from incorrect information to missing files...Is this really an organization?
I'm very very frustrated...
