My wife in Brazil was processed in only 4 months. The Ecas said "Decision Made" and that they would contact her.
It took nearly a month before my wife was contacted, but they did try about once a week to call. She missed the calls but
did notice from caller I.D. that the number was from Sao Paulo. Eventually they made contact and last friday her passport and visa
arrived in the mail. It was late arriving because of a mail strike, took three weeks to get into her hands.
But now she has it and I am on my way down to bring her home for Christmas!
So... make sure your cell phone or land line whatever number you gave CIC be ready for a phone call. And good luck!
