They say that things comes-in when least expected.
On April 14, 2014, as I opened my email while sitting at my office desk. A message popped up and it came from the Manila Canadian Embassy.
It was the update that I've waited for so long. The email has attachments and it states that I need to print those to facilitate my application.
In the email, there is a letter that requires me to submit, here are the lists:
1. Singapore Police Clearance
The form consists of a Singapore Police Certificate request, which is an appeal to apply for a Certificate of Clearance (COC) and a form to fill up some personal details. This needs to be processed personally at the Singapore Police office. I was given 60 days to submit this request.
2. Philippine National Bureau of Investigation Clearance
Even though I'm working in Singapore for more than few years now, I still need to provide the NBI Clearance for my Canadian Immigration application. I have a slight problem on this because Canada asked me to submit it within 30 days but the earliest NBI fingerprinting schedule in Singapore is in the next 2 months.
I guess that I need to go back and process it in the Philippines.
3. Right of Permanent Residence Fee
This fee is separate from the application fee that I paid when I submitted my application to Nova Scotia.
This requires me to pay to the Canadian Embassy C$490 per adult, who is 22 years of age and above. That means me and my wife will pay C$980.00 in total.
I'll give you the details soon...
