Express Entry applicants from Brazil, connect here!

Great news I research in the official site and I think I am eligible for BOWP , because my nomination letter is in SINP OID without job offer and for PNP this is the pre requisite. I really appreciate your informtion. Thanks a lot - Follow the link -

Note: Foreign nationals in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are eligible for a BOWP only if they have provided a copy of the nomination letter issued by the nominating province or territory along with their application and there is no indication that employment restrictions exist as conditions of the nomination.

Hello! I was reading thru the website and it states that one must be in Canada to apply for BOWP. If you are in Brazil you are not elegible. I got my hopes up but it was for 15 seconds only rsrs

Hello Gisa. I still believe if you are in Brazil it may be a chance that you can apply to work permit. Both me and my sister were in SINP, but I don´t know if it is the difference that we have an employer and the Job offer is valid for us to apply...as I don´t know your situation if you have or don´t have a job offer, I don´t know if you can apply to an Open Work Permit or must wait PR.
My Work Visa for some reason was denied last year but my sister arrived in SK about one month ago under Work Visa by SINP process...her husband holds an open work permit.
I don´t know if I made myself clear but you are welcomed to ask anything!
Take care

Yeah, you are right, you can only apply for a Bridge Open Work Permit if you already have a WP (inland applicants). I applied for my BOWP a few days ago because my visa is expiring in January and I am expecting to receive PPR in March 2017.

Hi there,

Adding my case to the list.
I am really worried about this situation with SPVO. Wish I could get to SK by May/2017, no more than July. But, as far as I've seen your cases, it seems to be a dream... :'(

By the way, I got "Medicals Passed" only 2 days after AOR. Does this mean anything (good)?

Hang in there. Maybe there is a specific reason for this delay and you wont need to go through the same pain as we are.

Acho que é generalizado e não especifico... Eu acho que o consulado aqui em SP está com muito pouca gente para processar os pedidos de vistos e tudo mais, e para piorar devem estar fazendo uma operação padrão/tartaruga justamente para chamar atenção do Gov que precisa de mais gente... Quem sofre com isso é a gente!

É gente... ta bem desanimador mesmo!

Meu processo na OINP que inicialmente ia levar de 3-6 meses já está no 10o mês! Pelo jeito vai levar 1 ano... Espero conseguir anexar a minha NoM antes de ter que refazer o perfil...

Ai achava que o federal estava indo bem, mas olhando isso aqui ta na mesma M*&ˆ*& (com todo respeito)... :-(

Acho que o esquema é FUGIR do consulado de SP a qq jeito! Vou tentar de tudo para já ir para o Canada após a NoM/ITA para ver se pego Ottawa como Visa Office... senão o sonho que tive em Fev quando recebi o convite de Ontario e achei q estaria pousando no Canada em Set desse ano vai lá para 2018... :-\

Você está pensando em ir com visto de turista e continuar o processo por lá? Será que essa transição é tranquila, só alterar o endereço no profile?

Eu dei uma pesquisada e obter um visto de trabalho é um pouco mais fácil após uma nomeação, acredito q vc só precisa de uma carta de oferta e emprego e vc consegue... Assim q sair minha nomeação vou dar um ultimato para minha empresa para me transferir e acho que vai dar certo porque o meu gerente está ciente (só pediu para esperar até Janeiro pq agora no Q4 é complicado).. se não funcionar vou começar a procurar coisas por lá.

I got my 2nd GCMS notes yesterday and apparently the last movement of my files was on September 20th. The last note of Sao Paulo office says "PA SEEMS TO MEET DEFINITION OF FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER, AND TO SCORE SUFFICIENT POINTS TO BE ELIGIBLE. PASSED TO VO".

Was it really SPVO that wrote this note?

I have lots of notes (4 to be exact) pointing out that I passed, and so on, but since my application was moved to Sao Paulo, no movement whatsoever.

My last set of GCMS notes was received in September... and then I gave up requesting them.

Really... And how long did they take to reach such an indefinite conclusion that you SEEM to meet the definition???? REALLY??? If this is not a SLOWDOWN then what is it?

The office field in my last note says "Sao Paulo", I don't know if it's actual. Apparently my last report was generate in October.

I recommend everybody here request information in all ways as often as possible. I request another GCMS report last Friday.
