They are indeed working today. I did not get the PPR yet, but SPVO sent me an email to inform they scheduled an interview with me. Another step in this never ending journey, but at least something is happening. As long as I don't live in São Paulo, I will run to buy the plane tickets and be there.

I received the interview request too. Finally they started to work

Hello,
Do anybody knows after you receive PPR, how many days is taking for the Sao Paulo Visa Office to return our passports with the visa?
I know it varies from office to office...
Any clues?

I was at the VAC today. The officer told me 10 days. Let's see.

Will let you know once mine is back.

There is not a VAC where I live so I used SEDEX10. It arrived this morning already. Hope to receive it in 10-15 days maximum.

What I find interesting is that we have people up until april, no one in may, june, july and august. 4 months of no brazilian applying for PR?

I just sent my passports yesterday. Let's see how long they will take. Hope my passports are back by december 16th as they might stop for christimas in the following week.

My interview is on december 19th. They gave me the option for december 22th too, so I believe they won´t stop. About the passports, for two people I know, it took around 15 days for return since the day they posted in Correios.

Nobody in BC? I was hoping I'd have a place to crash in each province when I drive from NS to BC through the TransCanada Highway!
