    September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

    Hello Everyone, This forum is great! I wish I had looked at here sooner before submitting my application. They received my paper application on September 16, 2021. I have not received the AOR yet, and just now I realized that I should have sent all pages of my passport instead of only the...

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

Basically, they tell us not to sign our COPR until told to do so by the immigrant officer at the port of entry in Canada. Also that we must arrive in Canada on or before...

    I got my passport back! It took roughly 2 weeks to be processed plus mailing time. It came with some instructions and two copies of the CoPR (my copy and cic copy).

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    I am pretty sure it would be faster if you dropped it off in person and picked up as well. However, since I am not from São Paulo (otherwise it would be a lot easier/cheaper), mailing sounded like a good option. My passport was received on June 7th, and nothing has arrived until now. The only...

    Ya, that's one more question. I have been trying to find an answer, but no success. It says ' if applicable ', so in what situation it would not be applicable? My husband is in Canada, so if they really need his pics, it's going to be complicated.

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    Just got the PPR email! It was pretty fast, I hope you guys get it soon! Just confused cause we can't send prepaid courier envelopes, so does it mean we have to use VAC's service, since registered mail in Brazil is way too risky?

    Sao Paulo BRA VO - 2016/17 Timeline

    I have lived for a year in Canada, and I didn't send a Canadian Police Certificate since I am in Brazil, because I've heard it's a little complicated to get, and they may or may not request. However, I don't want my app to be delayed cause of that. Does anyone know the steps to get the Canadian...
