FSW 2014 SINGAPORE VISA OFFICE - LET'S CONNECT HERE

[Ryan.Z]

Just want share one news.

Two days ago, those applicants used the agent service but did not submit the 5467 form received a letter from HongKong VO,

they were suspected by VO with ground evidence that they used unauthorized immigration representative.

Just want to know if this is a global action conducterd by CIC, and will delay other applicants' cases processing.

Hi Experts,
From the application received date it is now 11 months and from AOR it is over six months due that I didn't get any update from Singapore Visa Office.
Do I need to apply for GCMS? If so please tell me the procedure for applying GCMS currently.
I am getting frustrated day by day for not getting MR or no 2nd line update which is long overdue by other applicant's statistics.

Have you processed your file by any agent?
If yes, then it can be a reason for delay.

I think you are referring to IMM5476E form "Use of Representative". By CIC's requirements, this form must be filled and signed off if the applicant employs a consultant to file the application on his/her behalf. However, in reality, some consultants fill all the forms for applicants except this one and even ask them to submit to CIO under their own names. This is particularly the case for unsanctioned ones for fear of troubles given to their own business. In many cases like this, CIC is able to spot that the application is via a consultant, not directly from the applicant by looking at the contact address, email or even the sender's address when the submit the application by post. Who knows they have other tactics to find this out, being professional in this sort of investigation. A few applicants on this forum were contacted for verification and I believe the filling of form IMM5476E also came as one of CIC's requirements. I don't know much about the cases where the consultant genuinely forgets this form and must add in at a later stage. So, it doesn't need to be a global action from CIC to request for this form as it's already one of the docs that must be filled for applicants using consultants.

sorry, I dont think I made myself clear, I strongly agreed that this form should be submiited with other forms at first place. But due to those applicants failed to do so, CIC have to spend time and people to conduct this invesgation, that may certainly effect the processing time of those applicants like us, even seriously delay.

Of course, more time and resources are taken on these cases but from what I observe, we are not in a FIFO process. It's not the case in which you stand in line at an airport immigration counter and are stuck there because the guy before you has a problem.
