I'm guessing you can access ECAS 2-4 after - good luck to everyone hope your processing is a smooth ride to the finish.

Great news! Received AOR today March 15 2016. My application was received by CIC on Feb 9 2016 so anyone around that time should be hearing good news soon.

Hi there - well I'm a canadian citizen sponsoring my wife who lives in São Paulo. I'm actually visiting her in Brazil now for the next 2 weeks. We submitted our application feb 9 2016 so we should be hearing from this week for AOR. We will be processing thru the São Paulo office and I've heard...

Yes my spouse is still in Brazil. I'm actually flying out tomorrow night to see her for 2 weeks. She's in São Paulo right now - she's actually living with her niece in Itaquera which isn't the greatest of areas - we will be staying in São Paulo while I'm there. We have learned to be patient...

Hi Ana_D and mightyonewheel - your timelines are similar and both well ahead of me. I recently got married in São Paulo and our application was received by CIC Feb 9 2016. I'm still waiting AOR1 - I've heard great things about the VO in Brazil and we are fortunate they are far more efficient...

Well it's nice to see a thread that is from 2016, good luck! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my wife who lives in São Paulo - we sent in our package to Mississauga February 9 2016 so we have a short wait for AOR then SA. I understand the VO in São Paulo are quick in processing applications so...

Welcome Lala - be sure to add your info in the 2016 Outland link and follow everyone's progress along the way. All the best, Jaytheo40 Toronto, Ontario

Thank you!

If I remember correctly you and I both sent our applications in around the same time in Feb - mine was received on the 9th. I know the checklist has been updated in Feb - I sent in the checklist with the option'C' included but no assessment as I don't think it was updated when I sent my...

CIC received my Outland application February 9 2016 looking forward to hearing everyone's progress. I'll post any news as well. Good luck everyone John

Hi Mandie - yes the Generic application and the application to sponsor were signed and dated. I was just concerned with a signature line on the barcode page - but if your saying there isn't one then perhaps I'l be able to sleep this evening. :)

I went over my app with a fine tooth comb and don't remember a signature line either - let's get some feedback and I'm sure we will get our answer. good luck to us

I just sent in my application to sponsor my spouse who resides in Brazil. I sent the application last week. I was just reading the guide and discovered that after validating a form the barcode page appears. I placed the barcode page on top of the application with my cover letter and document...

Best feeling ever! Just couriered my application in on Mon and they recieved it Tue 8am - now the waiting begins Gl to all of you! Keep us posted of your developments along the way John, Toronto

I just couriered in my application last night via FEDEX and of course we start to second guess ourselves with making sure it's complete etc As for the Sponsor Questionnaire IMM5540 an original copy was enclosed in my first envelope which included all sponsor forms and supporting documents. My...

Don't stress! you can simply use the last 12 month period you filed your income tax return - in this case 2014. Simply request the option C for 2014 and you'll be ok. You do not have to wait for 2015 option C - if they want it afterwards they will request it which I highly doubt.

I would apply outside Canada - it's faster. As for proving your relationship there are many ways to do this. Do you have pictures together? family outings, visits? get references from friends etc. how about emails or cards you gave to each other. Keep your flight info and really any...

Your good to go - that's perfect. make sure you place the bar coded sheets on top and you shouldn't have any problems.
