    Well, it is not a problem. It is expensive. PR Visa is a single entry visa. Once you enter canada, it gets voided (The immigrant visa stamped in my Passport, at least is a one entry visa). Once you leave, the PR card is the travel document that lets you go back - and it takes up to 6-8 weeks...

    It will be finished when we land ;-) But, actually, this is only the beggining of the Journey. Getting the Visas was just foreplay :D

    Guys, Passport on hands. It took one week and one day the whole process. Got PPR on the 29th, went to my local VAC and left our passports there on the 30th. Passports went to Sao Paulo on the same day. They came back yesterday, 7th of December and I got them today, 8th of December Sweet. :)

    I believe it depends on the mood of the officer doing your landing process. I would love to avoid bouncing there for just one week, but there is nothing else I can do. I believe that since my timeline was so tight, I wouldn't have a problem getting a TA. Let's see.

    I have a friend living in North York. I'll have him mail it to me so I can go back. If they don't allow me to request a PR card at landing, I will have to leave Canada and request a travel authorization. Those are my options.

    Thanks nonnemacher! For now, I am worried about the weather! Haha But we can definitely talk a bit - I will probably need all the help I can get. Maybe we should start a WhatsApp group.

    My medicals expire on the 28th, so there is no other option. I am reading about it now. I can make a list of everything that I have and plan to bring to canada, and I can enter with them whenever I feel like it. Apparently, thats the process. I will be there for just one week, to do the...

    Which bank to open account in

    Hey guys. I've been reading and reading and looks like they are all, in fact, pretty much the same. I am not in Canada yet - planning the move at the moment - but I decided to go with Scotiabank. Mainly two things: Seems reasonable to have a no fee unlimited regular transactions if you keep a...

    The VAC officer told me they are taking up to 10 days to process PR passports. 5 days for temporary residents (tourism). I am monitoring it here. Mine got to Sao Paulo last thursday as well. Plane tickets bought, just waiting for the passport to return.

    Gisa, your time will come! What I find interesting is that we have people up until april, no one in may, june, july and august. 4 months of no brazilian applying for PR? I just sent my passports yesterday. Let's see how long they will take. Hope my passports are back by december 16th as they...

    AOR in March 2016 >>>>> Good Luck ALL

    I believe each case is different, and depends on the office reviewing your application.
