sovo a question pls, your application was it handled directly from singapore or was it routed from other countries i.e bangladesh.

2nd did you get a call from them to pick up your passport or did they send a letter?

Just directly through Singapore.

When they sent a letter for passport, they requested that we hand it in to IOM (international organization for migration). Basically all contact between us and Singapore was done through IOM, with respect to sending and receiving the passport. IOM gave my wife a call when the passport was ready for pick-up.

hey guys,

i have just checked online and received a weird update on CIC online status. this is what it shows:

Sponsored Person Sponsorship Application Status Permanent Residence Application Status
(spouse name) Decision Made Application Received

(spouse name) In Process Application Received

prior to today, there was online one line under sponsored person. today i got an update with the second line but instead of permanent residence application status changing to in process it is sponsorship application. it is so wierd.

I have exact same thing on my status, and its been month with no change. Experts any idea about this status.

I have same thing almost more than one month. I think it is a bug. Today they are doing maintenance hope it will fix.

from what I understand, it means that they are working on our cases and there has been a update in their system. I also believe it is also a glitch but it does not mean good or bad news. it could go either way but at least they are working on our files.

I have been reading and following this thread for a few months now. I go on at least once a week. My wife is the sponsored person and she lives in HCM city Vietnam. I have been to Vietnam twice last year and my application has been sent to Singapore on May 3rd 2011. I understand that this is not much time after reading all the other member's post. Of course I have the same complaint as everyone else and I have signed the petition letter to the Minister of immigration. As a tax paying citizen I find that the wait and unresponsiveness of Singapore is completely unacceptable. Like everyone else I wonder what they are doing in that office. I will keep my criticisms to myself at this moment because it has only been 6 months since Singapore has received our application. Too early to get angry. The problem at this moment is personal because I support my wife and her family 100%. Singapore does not realize this and I am sure they don't care because they have their secure and cumpfy public servant job and live with their families.
My questions is;Can I have my wife come to Canada on a visitors or tourist visa while we wait for the PR visa? Is the PR visa in conflict with a tourist visa or Visitors Visa?

My time lines are as follows:
Received sponsorship approval: May 3 2011
Application received in Singapore: May 13 2011
Received CSQ approval on: July 12 2011


Singapore status on CAS: Received application on May 13 2011
No other updates from Singapore.

What I don't understand is why the Canadian Gov't suggests to you to contact Singapore for other inquiries if Singapore never answers you.
The Government should say "don't contact us we will contact you" If you expect timely service from Singapore don't! I understand that the canadian Gov't is not a corporation. Which means you pay and don't expect service. CAS is a joke and a waste of time. I only check once a month now.

I am sorry but I could not hold back my criticism any longer. I think i lasted about 20 minutes

Did you send any e-mail to Singapore VO or get any reply ? Singapore visa office does reply some time but always reply general answer. If you ask for file status they never reply. I wish ecas sgould shows more file status deeply.

if she qualifies for a visa, yes she can, my wife did that.
