Did any July applicants who's having their visa processed in Manila get a PPR yet?

Sham707 that was really quick! And congrats to both of you!!
I was checking the Singapore family visa processing times and showed 27 months. According to your timeline, however it got processed within almost 6 months, so I am very surprised! :)

Thanks. I know four other people personally who applied prior to me and got their files done in 4 and half months through SVO. Usually as per the information I have collected from people who sponsored spouses, SVO processes within 4 to 6 months time period on a complete file for last couple of years.

I applied in mid-July and got SA in mid-September. I received a letter in email as a communication but eCAS is still showing "In Process".

Does anybody else have the same status in eCAS? Seems like CIC is too lazy to keep application status up-to-date.

I applied in mid/early-July and got SA in September and received a call in October to do medicals and provide extra documents. We finished the medicals on December 18th. Now we're waiting... we've had the "in process" status since it arrived at the office in September but for our office we are expecting to wait 10 months from September 21st.

Yes, AOR2 means the Sponsor was approved and the application will have been transferred to the Principal Applicant's Visa Office for the second stage of the process (- assessment of the Principal Applicant/person(s) being sponsored).

Hello everyone! Little update.. I just noticed that the CIC page that usually would provide processing times per VO has changed. Now they just give what I would guess to be an average for all applicants all over the world, of 18 months.

Also, on this page it says the current processing time for SA is 10 days!!! Did all of our applications 50 days longer than they are now taking to do it ?!?

As well, I really wish they still had processing time per VO.. doesn't give you much information with an overall average.

Happy New Year :)

It's probably nothing, but here is the link for the discussion of the change. Most people think nothing will actually change. Inland seems to be faster perhaps (not faster than outland). I mean, it's silly to think that every country in the world will take the same amount of time. Certain countries are known to be very fast and others very slow. I'd go by the statistics we're seeing posted by everyone else unless through January and February a lot of people are behind or not getting updates.
