they mentioned that CIC has deployed extra staffs for certain VOs. Not sure if Singapore is one of them. It certainly is very very short handed, given the processing time they have for the applicants.
Sgvo curently seeking staffs, you can see it on their website.

@ffarin: anything new bro? It is a long wait for me, i am prepared for that, wish you will get ppr very very soon bro.

Nope, ffarin. It has been more than 8 weeks, hasn't it ? How about you ?

Actually, I did send an email to SVO last week but haven't received any feedback from them yet even a standard response :(

We have to wait to hear from them then..

Hi Kaisin,

Thanks for your kind words :) I also hope that you're gonna hear from them very soon. By the way, is it possible for you to come to Canada when you have been applying for a canadian permanent visa ?

Plus, what do you mean "at least u are not online" ? :)

ffarin,
any news from you yet ?

strike is still going on so I have no idea when we can get any update from them. Have you emailed them to ask about your case after finishing medical request yet ?

Really bad luck this time, i guess

Calgary here I come!!
Wanted to do a double checked to see if traveling to canada will affect my application
Emailing them takes months for them to reply so thought I should go down to ask and get immediate answers

1. Security guard of the building directed me to VAC at 11th floor Equity plaza instead

2. Headed down to VAC which was operated by third party company, VFS. Waited a good 20mins and was too that they wouldn't have my records as they just opened on the 15th. Was told strike in Singapore was still ongoing. Told me to do any enquiries online.

3. Went back to CIC and told the guard to allow me access so that I can do my enquiry. Went up. CIC security did not allow me to go in. Told me same thing abt emailing online. Reception counters at CIC was closed and seemed. It was 2pm...

Are they still working on our files or are they not?
Hopefully, with the VAC, sgvo will be more motivated to clear the backlogs they have. I need my medicals!!! Pafso officers, please get back to work!!
