It's a possibility that PNP takes bit longer, yeah. But you're still way within normal processing times.
4 months is very much okay, and those getting processed in less time shouldn't be taken as reference. It depends on each case and on each visa office. Many variables come into play.

Wait for the 6 months mark. Most of the progress is done towards the end of this line.
yeah.i hope it shud not exceed 6 months as i can see other cases in my immi tracker. it really worries me.

I can only understand.
But don't worry, if you submitted a clean and complete application, just relax!
Those who have their application go beyond normal processing time often have unclear spots that need additional review.

Is anybody from Bangladesh here? I have submitted my pp to Vfs Bangladeh on 19th Feb and Singapore received on 22nd Feb. Till now no update and it inly says 'in process'. There is no change in my cic profile either.
Can anyone tell me how long it might take more? Is there any record of not issuing visa at this point?

I am assuming you have sent in your passport following a PPR. Candidates in India are quite used to a 4-week turnaround, so I imagine you should expect a similar timeline...or maybe add an extra week given your passport has to cross international borders.

Thanks a lot. Is there any possibility of not issuing visa at this point? If yes, what may be the causes?

Do you suspect something of the sort? If you have not misrepresented anything in your application, you should be fine. I haven't heard of cases where the visa/CoPR has been denied following a PPR. The only scenario that comes to mind is if your passport has less than six months of validity left, in which case some countries won't issue you a visa or refuse you entry based on an existing non-immigrant visa.

Yeah maybe it's because he is so busy to write your report. Are you gonna go back to your PP after he writes the report or not?
Well I really don’t have any idea about what will the specialist ask me to do next. Quite frustrating though.

Rest assured, I will keep you updated whenever I get to hear anything from the specialist or my PP.

@g90 I just talked to my PP, she checked e-medical system and told me they (I suppose cic) only wanted second x-ray. There is no need for specialist consultation. Maybe it depends on cic's recommendation. I will go for it on 19th of March. I hope medical will be cleared after that.
Good news. Good luck.

Did you need this position and the 7 months of work history for the points you claimed under CRS? If so, you have a responsibility to provide as much information as possible to IRCC so they can verify your employment and whether the job description matches your self-identified NOC. If this position was not required for CRS points, I would have not brought it up at the ITA stage or, later, would have removed it with an LOE at the AOR stage. Please elaborate. Now that you have reported this position and you are post-AOR, IRCC can demand further evidence. Some people who are unable to provide all of the supporting documents usually send in some combination of pay stubs, photos of yourself at the workplace, testimonials by the clients you served, letters confirming your employment by your coworkers, etc. (and the list goes on)
Yes, without these few months, my Crs drops from 472 to 447 (which is still above the 445 cutoff for my draw).
Well, if they ask for more info, I can have my manager (who is the company managing partner and has signed my ref letter) vouch for me.
Also, the company, although pays in cash keeps records of salary they send their employees, I can send a picture of those company records signed by her, which proves my employment.

Think that works?

No, there is no ambiguity in my application. It is crystal clear. And validity of my pp is more than 1 year.
Just thinking abt it as there's no updates. Thank you.

Hmm, so I've thrown out a lot of ideas in my past couple of replies - these are the more 'traditional' workarounds to when an employment reference letter is not available. One more idea: Didn't this employer deduct income tax at source before paying you? Your case is interesting because while your letter of reference has already been provided (presumably in the format required by IRCC), there may be an ADR or Review Required in the future as IRCC will likely be unable to verify the existence or operations of said employer - or whether you were paid - based on what you have shared.

Since you are post-AOR and as you have included this job as a part of your work history, IRCC will have to process each of your positions in the same way. Your CRS remained relevant up to AOR but not anymore. There are two paths ahead of you: a) stay prepared but do nothing until you receive an ADR or see a Review Required in your GCMS, or b) raise a CSE and preemptively explain why it might prove difficult to verify this employer as they do not have an online presence, etc., however, you have x, y and z additional items that support the claim that you worked there. What would I do? I would stay forearmed with as many additional supporting documents but wait for an ADR.

Just sit back and relax over the next few weeks -- remember your application has already been approved; you are simply waiting for a piece of paper (CoPR) and a visa to be stamped. Count 4-5 weeks from the day your passport was received in Singapore before starting to worry.
