    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    Yeah we'll see what their instructions say but I read in other forums they always ask you to pay return postage. I don't know we are just checking stuff out so when the time comes we know exactly what to do and no delays. Interview went good thankfully. Just stuff like my full name, how many...

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    Does anyone who has received PPR already how it works to mail passport to consulate ? Like my husband is telling me here is no prepaid service in Brazil?

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    So they told you processing time is 12 months now? How can that be? Everyone who submitted their application before December 2016 is only supposed to be 10 months. That really sucks but i have noticed something, SP use to be really fast but they have slowed down a lot and I think it's because of...

    Yeah I read/heard something about Brazilian citizens no longer needing a visit visa, i haven't followed up on it though because my husband is only a Brazilian resident and not a citizen (he's not Brazilian)

    Pregnancy of Wife effect on processing time of application

    MP's do not have any impact and cannot speed up processing times, they can only inquire on your behalf, like give you updates basically but even that is very vague. A pregnancy also does not speed up processing times only adds weight to your relationship being genuine.

    Help from MP

    There's some good and some bad, I got my MP to do an inquiry on our application, he called some magic # and was able to confirm the receipt of some documents that were requested in like 5minutes, which was nice because VO's don't confirm the receipt of documents so it was peace of mind. But that...

    Yeah and CIC really emphasizes being together for the minimum of 12 months before you apply, you can try and see though or just wait to be safe. And yeah financial barriers don't count

    New 2017 immigration target numbers announced.

    I'm not that impressed actually, their target for this year was also for 300,000 so for 2017 it's the same. And all they did was shuffle the numbers, like refugees decreased from 55,000 to 40,000 for 2017 They just divided the extra 15k they took from the refugee class to the other classes. And...

    PLEASE FIND WHICH STAGE IS YOUR APPLICATION AND WHAT TO EXPECT SOON

    Wow 6 months, that's awful. I know to them its a simple error but to us every delay is super stressful. Thanks for the advice I definitely will do that asap but on the case specific enquiry page I did not see a link to attach documents? I'm nervous to ask them to confirm that they have...

    Sao Paulo VO 2011

    Hi everyone, New here. So people have been telling me that Sao Paulo VO is not that busy compared to other VO's so processing times should be faster, having seen this forum for Sao Paulo VO there is not that many applicants with a Sao Paulo VO (comparing with spreadsheets as well) however...
