Anyone issued/rejected visa at Singapore Visa Office?

I dont think the link applies to us as it states that..

At this time, you may use this on-line service to view the status of your application ONLY if you have:

• sponsored a member of the family class;
• applied for permanent residence from within or outside Canada;
• applied for a permanent resident card (replacement or renewal);
• applied for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship);
• applied for Canadian citizenship for a person adopted by a Canadian citizen (on or after January 1, 1947);
• applied for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship);
• applied to renounce Canadian citizenship; or
• applied to resume Canadian citizenship.

It doesn't apply to temporary residence, I think.

oh yes. You have a good point. It makes sense. Let's keep an eye on our CIC account then.

Anyway we should share here, if we find anything that may help us to find our application is processing or not. Thanks for sharing your thought.

hey, I have communicate with RICC Singapore via email and received below Statement

""As your course commencement date is in Winter 2018, your application will be on hold and reviewed again in late Fall 2017.""

Can anyone tell me calendar date of late Fall (Means when is the beginning of late Fall of 2017 according to Singapore/ Canada )

I have a feeling late Fall would be around November, but I could be wrong.
I guess it would depend on when the officer would want to review your application as well.
Where are you applying from?

There is no fall in Singapore. There is only one season, hot, humid and rainy I am not sure if they are going to treat all the applications the same way, or will local applications get the priority or the priority is set based on who applied first. It is very frustrating that a G9 nation has such an appalling process where they make people wait for literally no reason. As a Six Sigma practitioner, IRRC is a perfect project that requires major overhaul in the process to bring improvement and cost savings...sigh..

Hahaha, there is indeed only one season in South East Asia. However, from what I have gathered the reason they are reviewing our applications at a later time is because Canada doesn't seem to have any law about how soon you can go into Canada as compared to US visa. I previously had a US study visa and you can only go into the country a maximum of 30 days before your course date.
From this point, I strongly believe that this is one of the reasons they are reviewing our applications based on our course intakes. But the lack of updates is something they should work on rather than have applicants flooding their inboxes with status update inquiries.

Couldn't agree more. It's a waiting game. Reminds me of the movie Beetlejuice where Michael Keaton's head got shrunk as he swapped the ticket number...stay in touch guys

Hello, I agree with you may be because of this, they process our application 3 months prior of our course start. Actually I have been research on how RICC Singapore works. It is my personal view only & I have accumulated those information from different blogs and experience shared by ex employee of RICC in different website, and survey on those students who were accepted and rejected (based on CAIP note) in last two years. Which I have come to know that, our application normally go through three process step. Step 1# when our application reach in the RICC, initial process is taken place. E.g. do the applicant provided all required documents, applied in proper category and initial eligibility. Step 2 # Verification of Police clearance certificate, financial certificates, Income tax certificates etc and medical test result (how submitted with application). about 70% refusal come in these step 1 and step 2. Step 1 and Step 2 process normally taken place after submission of our application, when our application pass these two steps, application gets hold for final step, and this final step starts on February for May intake, June for September intake and October for January intake. May be reason you mention earlier. Step 3 # A VISA officer review application. Rest of 30% refusal come on this stage, if VISA officer will find our application is not relevant with our previous study/ job experience + if Study plan not convince him/her that applicant will return back to home country after complete study,and importance of that course in applicant's home country.
Correct me if you find any exception that I have mentioned above.


And hopefully our application will process on October. Best of luck you guys (including me )
