Dear Sir / Madam,
Your application for permanent residence in Canada has reached the final stage of processing. You must submit your passport(s) to the Visa Section, Consulate General of Canada in São Paulo, Brazil, within 30 days of the receiving of this letter in order to finalize your application.
Please read carefully all information and instructions set out below and complete the steps accordingly.
No reminder letter will be sent. You are requested to immediately act upon the instructions set out in this letter.
Your application will be finalized at the Consulate General of Canada in São Paulo, Brazil. If you have any questions after reading the information and instructions, please contact this office, by following the instructions on their website: www.brasil.gc.ca
Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence. Failure to quote this file number may cause delays in the finalization of your application.
1. Change in Family Composition or Mailing Address
You must notify the Visa Section, Consulate General of Canada in São Paulo, Brazil in writing if there are or will be changes in your life circumstances before using your visas, such as:
• Family status (e.g. marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation, birth, adoption, death of the sponsor, principal applicant or any accompanying family member, including grandchildren born to dependent children); or
• You or any of your family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence; or
• Changes to mailing address/e-mail address/contact information.
Failure to inform CIC of any of these changes may delay processing, may result in the cancellation of your immigrant visas and may render you and your family members inadmissible to Canada. Failure to inform CIC of dependent family members during your application processing will permanently exclude them from later sponsorship in the Family Class.
2. Visa Validity
The issuance of your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) when requested.
Once you receive your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document(s), please check the information on it to make sure it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect date of birth, please inform Visa Section immediately. Your name will appear in the same format as it appears in your passport.
The permanent resident visa will have the same validity date as the medical examination results, that is, 12 months from the date of the first examination, or according to the validity of your passport or any accompanying family member’s passport, whichever is the earliest. Once issued, the validity of an immigrant visa cannot be extended.
You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Confirmation of Permanent Resident documents cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application would be successful.
