What happened to the spreadsheet? I would like to update our stats for everyone but it's locked for editing

You likely won't. We never got an acknowledgement letter of AOR2, just the Sponsorship Approval from Mississauga, and the website was updated. You won't hear from the visa office in Sao Paulo unless they need something from you.

We also just received our passport request! :D App received: April 12 SA: June 3

When I started living with my common-law partner in Brazil (January 2015), I was on a tourist visa so I couldn't get my name officially added to things until I got my permanent residence in the country, which was about 5 months later. Additionally, we were living as subletters in a house with...

Yes we sent them a scan of the document by email. They sent us an email back confirming receipt and confirming they didnt need a hard-copy :) Since then we haven't heard anything, which I think is good news? Good luck to you too! And keep us posted ;)

We have a similar timeline Submitted to Mississauga: April 12 SA Approval: June 3 Started processing in SP: June 3 We also got a request for additional docs from SP visa office on June 27

Has anyone ever tried to do the stat declaration of common-law form from Brazil. Can we do this at the Cartorio even though the forms in English? Do we have to then officially translate the notary stamps into English? We were hoping we wouldn't have to do this but we just got a request from SP...

What exactly are GCMS notes? How do you order them?

It specifically says in the guide that the form is only needed is the common-law partner is a co-signer. It shouldn't be needed for sponsorship. We double-checked this with a lawyer who said the same thing. The form itself would be very difficult to complete here since it needs to be done in...

Application was received April 12, and AOR on May 3. We have access to e-cas for both sponsor and applicant. We are getting anxious because we've seen posts from people who are also applying for common-law and have had calls from CIC saying they need IMM 5409 or to change the date of common-law...

Does anybody know if it's possible to contact the CIC call centre from outside Canada? Both my partner and I are living in Brazil, and when we try to call, it tells us that the call cannot be completed. I'm not sure though if it's because I'm calling from outside Canada, or because I'm using an...

Are the SA notifications only sent by mail? Or do they notify by email as well?

That makes us worried. We looked on the forums and had a consultation with a lawyer, both of whom told us that the official common-law date is 12 months after we first moved in together :S. It even says in the Guide to Sponsorship under the date we entered into Common-Law Relations that "Note...
