    Need a notice of assessment for sponsorship?

    I have an online account with the CRA, so I was able to print mine from there. If your spouse doesn't have an online account I believe you need to call the CRA to have one sent to you.

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    Hey everyone! Any updates? Nothing new for us! We're really hoping to see our BC change to IP late this month or early next month based on the timelines we've been seeing here! I find I sometimes am searching through the spreadsheets and threads for the months to try to compare the timelines...

    Regarding spousal sponsorship with no job.

    We applied with the old forms so it may have changed a little, but I believe you have to give the details of your employment for the past 5 years. In your application there will be a 1 year gap that the officer may ask you to explain. But there is no employment requirement, so it shouldn't be a...

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    We're not totally sure, but my husband said there used to be a 'cost on delivery' thing in Brazil... look into 'sedex a cobrar'. When you get PPR, doesn't it come with specific instructions on how/where to mail your passport? Hopefully they make it clear what what they expect from you! Let us...

    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    I logged into MyCIC today and got really excited for a split second! The presentation of information had changed from one or two words to full sentences. Ex: Application status used to just say "Open", now it says "We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update...

    When will they ask PP for visa after medical received

    What's your visa office? What are the quoted wait times for your VO? Have you received SA? Our medicals have been marked as passed for a long time and we still expect to wait a lot longer as we're nowhere near the processing times CIC estimates for our VO. No one here can tell you when you'll...

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    The website still says 10 months! http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp Probably they said processing times are 12 months because that's the current processing time and they didn't bother to check when rio2016 applied before responding. I'm really hoping that this is the case...

    When did your background check change to in progress? If it said decision made I'd guess that they just haven't updated the other areas of the system yet. I hope that's the case and you get PPR soon!
