How long has it taken folks here to get their Passports back with Visa/COPR from Sao Paulo VO? My partner and I applied as a common-law, and sent her Passport over 2 weeks ago. The letter said it would take 10 days to get the passport back. Any idea?

Hi there, Yes, to clarify, we applied outland, believing the whole application would be processed in Sao Paulo, but it was actually sent to Ottawa for processing which made the whole process super fast to our surprise. Then my partner got email requesting that she send the passport to Sao...

My partner and I applied for her common-law sponsorship in March. In May shed receive DM and Passport request, and just last week she sent her passport in to Sao Paulo VO. Anyone have any experience with Sao Paulo to know how long it should take to get the Visa stamped and the passport back...

Oh :( Thank you for the info. It's an issue of her not wanting to go through with PR anymore and being in a relationship. I thought I had read cases of people sending it in after the 30 days, but I guess I read it wrong.

Long story short, my common-law partner got her approval correspondence on May 5th, requesting that she send her passport within 30 days to get the visa. But the relationship has been going through a rough patch and we're trying to work things out, but the 30 days are coming up and I don't...

Does that come along with the passport once it's returned?

Hi everyone, my partner's app status was updated as DM on May 5th, and she received a passport request email on the same day. Will she be receiving any actual mail about this? Also, it says she needs to include 2 photos from her common-law partner, but I take that doesn't apply to me if I'm a...

Thank you! You're correct, I just confirmed they sent a passport request. I thought my partner was visa exempt because she has 2 passports, an EU passport which is what she used to visit in Canada, and a Brazilian passport which is what she used to apply. Because her app got sent to Ottawa VO I...

Hi there, my application status says Decision Made on Application with this note: We sent you correspondence on May 5, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending...

Lol, they are all 2016.

Sorry about that. App Received March 21. SA and transfer to Ottawa VO April 23rd. In process May 2nd. Decision Made May 5th.

This is the update on my account after DM: "We sent you correspondence on May 5, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the...

Thank you all for your help and support. Just to clarify, I didn't wait long. The application process went through super FAST. We submitted application March 18 and go DM on May 5th. My partner informed of her change of feelings mid-April and we didn't talk about the PR application since then...

Actually I'm a little surprised they sent our file to Ottawa, because when I say my spouse is visa exempt it's because she has a secondary passport from EU which she used to come visit, but when we applied outland, the primary documents/passport we used are from Brazil where she lives and not...

Hi Keok, thanks for your reply. My spouse who is the principal applicant is Visa Exempt, and I already included photocopies of passports, so I don't think they would need to request that. Perhaps they'll just be sending me COPR directly? I'd love to find out. I'm not sure whether she received...

After seeing Decision Made, my CIC Status now has a new line: We sent you correspondence on May 5, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional...

Was it mailed to you in the US or Canada?

Incredible! Are you in the US? My application started processing on May 2nd, and today it was already showing as DM. I wonder how long it will take to get COPR in Brazil, and if it's sent by courrier or regular mail.

Thank you all for the support. I look forward to updating the thread in the near future with how things have evolved. Hopefully good news.

Thank you Setec-astronomy for your kind words. Funny enough, I was sending you a PM as you were posting this, asking about the procedure after DM. Really appreciate your help, and I think I will try to visit her before making a final decision on this, it will all depend on whether the timeline...
