Road To Canada Forums

Hi Everyone,

I always enjoyed reading this forum and it was very useful to me during my application process. This is my first post since now I have some news to report.

I just received my PPR last week. My timeline to reach this milestone was as follows.

Application submission to Singapore CHC: Feb 2004

Interview waiver received with the advice that medicals will be called for in 2008: Oct 2006

Medicals, background checks, proof of settlement funds payment for landing fees and a supplemental application for my son who turned 18 since the original application requested: Sep 2007

All the requested documents submitted : Dec 2007

PPR Received : Mar 2008

Hope this is useful to those of you who are waiting for some news.

I just have a question, if I take the passports in person to CHC, Singapore, will they endorse the passports over the counter or will they keep them for a day or two? I am unable to find that info anywhere.

Thanks a lot and my best wishes to all !

PS: We plan to go to Toronto in June. My son is already at University of Toronto.

Hi there, great to meet another SG. I thought my PPR was slow, now I realise yours is even more so. When you submit your passports for stamping, they will give you a pink receipt and will call you to collect your passports when they're ready. Mine took 9 days in all, so it's pretty quick.

Hi all,
That is great news skywards747. Sounds like you are almost there. Architeutus, can you reply with your timeline please. thanks
