Share ko lang din experience ko sa pagkuha ng SG Police COC:
1 Search sa google ng "singapore coc". Minsan kasi di gumagana kapag nag cclick ng link https://eservices1.police.gov.sg/
2 Login using fin & passport no. Uploaded my ID Picture; ITA (yung makikita sa skillselect eoi correspondence under invitation, yung 2-page tapos walang silbi yung 2nd page); Passport Bio page; SPASS front & back(separate file)(Dec 8.24)
3 Paid S$55
4 Waited 7 working days.
5 Receive email(dec 17.24), Schedule: 9:00am dec 19.24
6 Print Appointment file.
7 Punta sa Police Cantonment Complex.
-Pag akyat galing LRT exit5, Right side. Entrance ng Block D.
-May Queueing lane for Certificate of Clearance(COC), pumila kami dun. *9am ine-entertain ang para sa COC. (masungit mga nasa counter)
8 Mga 8:55 Tinawag nako, Binigay ko yung appointment letter saka SPass ko sa Security Counter. Pag keyin ng info ko binalik din sakin papel at spass ko, then binigyan ako ng visitor pass ID. Husband's schedule is 9:15 pero tinanggap parin nung 9:00am.
9 Akyat sa 2nd floor, from elevator, kita na yung COC office. Pwede rin sa hagdan dumaan.
10 Pagpasok sa COC office, kumuha ng queue no. Waited for my turn.
11 Tinawag sa counter 3(or room 3), Kinuha sakin yung appointment printout ko, then scan ng mga daliri.
12 Wait daw ako sa lobby, after few mins tinawag ako sa counter 2, binigay na COC ko.
-end-
makakapag lodge narin sa wakas.

2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
2022 Started working in Singapore, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again.
2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube video explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about making contact to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.

I was able to "renew" my SG Certificate of Clearance online. Did this 1month before the expiry and in my letter, inexplain ko lang sa Officer na about to expire na yung previously issued nila. Yung screenshot lang from my immi account isinama ko. After 5working days, nakareceive ako email containing link where to download my CoC (linked via Singpass). No need to go to Police Cantonment for fingerprinting.
Yung unang step (application and payment), same lang as the initial application done online. FYI sa mga magrerenew soon. And sana dumating ng 190 grants.

Haha! Naiisip ko nga din magleave na para sa fingerprinting. Buti naman online na. Bawas gastos at "sick leave".
$55 binayaran ko. Di ko na matandaan yung unang application kung same fee ba.

Cap and Cease Order a Disaster for Visa Applicants
Outrage has erupted at the recent decision to implement a Cap and Cease order by the Australian government. This means that certain applicants who have been patiently waiting in a queue for their visa – some for up to 7 years – have suddenly had their Australian visa hopes pulled from under them.
This ‘Cap and Cease’ order came into effect on the 22nd of September 2015 and affects those who have applied for a Subclasses 175, 176, or 475 Visa which has not yet been approved.
A ‘cap’ on visa applications occurs when the Department has set how many visa applications of a certain subclass may be granted in a financial year. A ‘Cap and Cease’ means that the Department will cease processing applications for that visa once the cap is reached.
The cap set by the Australian government for the current financial year has already been reached, meaning that no further visa applications will be processed under these subclasses. It also means that those visa applications that were not processed prior to the Cap and Cease are now treated as never having been made. As a result, the Department has announced that they will be refunding application fees, the processing time for refunds being approximately 15 weeks.
While not being granted a visa is disappointing, for many, their primary concern is the passing of time. While they waited for their visas, applicants aged, meaning their eligibility for some other visas may now have passed. Being older also means you will achieve less points on the points test for skilled visa, making it more difficult for some to apply for new different visa. Around 30,000 applicants have been affected by the policy, with many now considering their next move.
If you have been affected by the Cap and Cease policy, contact one of our migration agents urgently to commence assessment for an alternative options on (07) 3229 4025 – our experienced lawyers are well-versed in novel visa solutions and you may not have time to waste!
