Hi everybody, Congrats to all applicants who received news recently! I don't want to discourage anybody, but CIC does not always keep PR applications in order of their reception. A lot of people received PR before my husband's did. It took CIC 7months to process everything once they received our...

Hi there, CIC requested my husband's passport last Wednesday and they received it on Friday July 15th. They say it can take up to 30 days. Hopefully they'll do faster... I am impatient to have my husband back home with me. I'll make sure to let you all know when my husband gets his passport...

Hi Everyone! My husband sent his passport to São Paulo this morning and it should get there tomorrow (Friday morning). I am not too sure how long it will take for them to send the passport back but I will keep you posted. In the meantime, does anyone know if they really take 30 days to process...

Thank you so much for your time and specific answers! I don't know how I could ever thank you enough...

My processed reached Ottawa on October 19th 2015. I was approved as my husband's sponsor on December 16th 2015. My processed was received in Sao Paulo December 30th 2015. CIC requested additional proofs or growth of relationship on June 27th 2016; we were ready so we answered right away. And...

Hi there, I just received an email from CIC requesting passports! I guess that means they made their decision!? I am a little confused about their email and I'd like if someone could help me with the following steps... 1) They request passport(s); Am I supposed to mail them my passport if I am...

Hey! Nobody really answered my post so I just did what I thought was right. To answer their request, I emailed them additional proofs; I simply mentioned the 200 pages of conversation between my husband and myself saying that they could request them if necessary. I sent them the history of our...

SO... Yesterday I sent an email to CIC asking what to do concerning the notes I had read on the GCMS notes. They answered me this morning "kindly requesting us to provide further information/documentation regarding our relationship" 1) The growth financially, socially, and emotionally 2) They...

My application was received in Ottawa on October 19th, 2015. I was approved as sponsor on Dec 16th, 2015 and my application has be sitting in São Paulo since Dec 30th, 2015. I remember when I was approved. CIC's website was still saying that their processing time was 5 months.

Okay Mightytonewheel. That's what I was wondering about. I worked on additional proofs in order to be ready in case they'd ask, but I was not convinced that sending additional info would be helpful. They also wrote on the GCMS notes that the due date for my application was July 22nd, 2016...

You are right Confuzzeled23. My husband tried to call the office in São Paulo many times and got nothing from it. I tried emailing them as well, and received automated messages not answering any of my questions. I will try again to ask about the additional proofs I have for them. I will see...

The GCMS Notes are ones we order to have an idea of what's going on. I did not receive any official email or other type of communication from CIC since December 16th 2015.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if I could ask your guys opinion about sending additional proofs of relationship to CIC. Context: I received my GCMS notes on June 17th. Last agent wrote something about the need for additional proof of growth of relationship and the note was written on May...

Hi Mightytonewheel, We were definitely expecting to have to go for an interview considering our very short relationship. We got married in August 2015... Our application was definitely as complete as possible. We met with an immigration consultant to review everything before we sent it. We...

So... Today I received my GCMS notes... That couldn't have made me more anxious. 1) In February an agent looked at our application; stories, family letters, etc. This agent recommended the waive of the interview. Then nothing until May. 2) On May 27th 2016, a different agent looked at our...

We also worked very hard on our application. I don't think is has nothing to do with that... It's probably faster for the people who were lucky enough to see their application sent back to Ottawa (overflow). It is still awfully unfair, but I guess I'm happy for you an anybody who finally gets to...

I am Canadian, currently in Canada, sponsoring my Brazilian husband, currently in Brazil. I, the sponsor was approved on Dec 16th (in Ottawa), then my application has been in Brazil since Dec 30th. Only communication received was to tell me that I was approved on Dec 16th.. Since then, nothing...

I sent my application on October 16th and haven't heard anything. I'm starting to worry. I was approved a my husband's sponsor on Dec 16th, and the São Paulo office started processing on Dec 30th. Haven't received my GCMS notes yet and I am very close to insanity. Please someone help. Do you...

The person you are talking about had their application received in São Paulo 2 weeks before mine and they heard from CIC on the 17th. I am excited and very positive, but I don't want to get too excited either... High expectations often come with big disappointments! My husband returned to Brazil...

Hi everyone, Just a quick update; today it's been exactly 5 months since CIC received our application in São Paulo. I haven't had any communication with them since they approved me as my husband's sponsor on Dec 16th 2015. We are extremely ready to figure out what's up. GCMS notes were...
