Singapore timeline

[mikeymyke]

Did you or your spouse from Canada provide them with enough evidence to prove your relationship? Examples include photos, call logs (between you and your spouse), financial support docs such as western union and/or bank transfers, copy of air tickets, boarding passes, hotel receipts etc if you went on your honeymoon?
When officers do not find enough proof of a relationship, we are likely to face an interview.
This seems you got a letter for the interview within 5 to 6 months of your application. Try to remember if you or your spouse gave enough proof of relationship.
If I were you, I would send them now all the proofs of our relationship. This might give the officer a thought of waving your interview.

Sending them all proofs now is useless, because they do not accept additional correspondence while on interview queue. I checked his posts, he sent a lot of pics, but he has a couple big red flags, one of them is his sponsor, his wife, her parents did not attend the wedding and they just got married in court very quickly after her arrival. He also tried to enter Canada as a student before.

I feel really bad for him because having to wait 2 years for an interview is ridiculous

Not from my end.

By the way, as we're approaching the high season, airfares of Asia to Canada flights are getting more and more expensive... *frustrated sigh*

It is getting frustrating on my side too...argh

Our honeymoon was in cox'sbazaar, st martin, Visited bangkok and phuket in a trip seven days during her last visit. Over 300 different photos of wedding, pre wedding, honeymoon ,travel,family photo.Gift voucher and receipts of gift exchange.Phone bill/call record, 35 + pages of skype, yahoo,facebook chat log. We even send them our joint bank account description which we are maintaining for over 1.5 years. The only possible reason for the interview I can think off is a student visa refusal in 2010.

Hey there...

I'm pretty shocked that the interview queue duration is up to 25 months! Seems to keep increasing >_<.

But hang in there alright...? If your relationship is genuine (which I am sure it is), there should be nothing to worry about.

Here's an example of a Bangladeshi who had to attend an interview (which she passed successfully):

And for your reference, here are some sample interview questions:

You can search this forum, as some people have posted different variants of questions. It's better to practise when you're pretty near to the interview date though... (if done now, you might forget the answers later anyway )

Good luck!

thanks mate

For those monitoring the timeline for passports submitted in Feb and March, my Ecas just showed decision made today. Timeline on the left If you are still waiting, you should be hearing something soon.

Seems like those who applied on first week of march is starting to receive decision made. Wonder how long will it be from decision made to visa issued in hand.

On side note , I'm surprised that they change status on 1st may , it's a public holiday in Singapore.

The high commision follows the Canada holidays, may 1st is not holiday in Canada.

[kaisin82]

There you go

 

[kaisin82]

interesting, they combined certain holidays together and omit out some.

they are not working during hari raya and deepavali which is a holiday for singapore and also celebrating remembrance day and of course, canada day

With Singapore having my wife's passport, does that's mean there's nothing to worry about? I need something to ease my mind lol.
