As I’ve reviewed previously, I was born in Singapore and lived 11 years of my life there. I am currently a dual citizen shared between Singapore and Canada and I really needed to get some things done with a Singaporean Embassy. My search for it revealed the bitter truth – only 1 Singaporean embassy exist in all of Canada!
Which cities are internationally known in Canada? Most people would agree that Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal all come to mind. My research showed that Singapore used to have embassies in both Toronto and Vancouver but the Toronto branch had been closed down for a while now. The nearest embassy to my location is now located in New York!
What’s stopping me from going to New York? That’s not the point because of the sheer inconvenience. But if I were to go to New York now that the borders between Canada and United States have tightened regulations, I would have to get my passports in order first. More delay!
This is just a rant, so you can ignore it. But if you are Singaporean-Canadian or know of any who have had the same problem as me. Do you have any advice? Much appreciated!
If you need a place to stay. My wife and I live on City Island Bronx New York. It would be a honor and pleasure to have you as our guess.
Thanks for the offer! But I know not when I will be going to New York yet. =)
Hi Vince,
I think there is a High Comm in Vancouver.
Hi Vince,
I have experienced the same problem here. I am a Singaporean with Canadian PR. I am trying to convert my Singaporean driving license to an Ontario license, I was requested to get a letter from the embassy to prove my driving experiences, but unfortunitely there’s no embassy here in Toronto. So I have to choose go to NY or Vancouver to get it done. It’s ridiculous and I’d rather forget about it and take the G1 test instead.
I am really surpirsed that you can hold both Singapore and Canada citizenship. I thought Singapore only allows for one citizenship. Maybe I am wrong.
Hi They have opened Toronto again & now closing Vancouver.
Can you renew your passport in Toronto and if so, what are the contact details?THX
Hey Encik, Sgp does not allow dual nationality.You must give up one.Good luck.
Every country only has 1 embassy (or high commission) in any other country. That's a fact, maybe you mean “consulates”… SIgh….
