I just wrote up a new post this morning concerning Sao Paulo. They have made a decision after only 37 days...?
They asked for her passport after only a few weeks of beginning the process.
It's a little freaky things seem to be moving so fast. Maybe they hired a new person who didn't get the memo
telling them to take their sweet time to not make the slackers look bad!

We are still waiting to hear from Sao Paulo. So we don't know yet what their decision
is yet.
My wife has had at least two calls from the Sao Paulo area code but unfortunately she was
not able to attend. They most likely were calling. She has tried to call back but after 30 minutes
trying to get through had to return to work. Hopefully this week will bear results and good news.

Happy days! My wife received a call yesterday from Sao Paulo letting her know her passport and visa were ready, and should they hold for
pickup or mail it out?
Wow..
and so fast makes my head spin. Thank you CIC Sao Paulo!!!

I mailed our applications off to Mississauga around the 15th of May.

June 21st I receive an email from CPC Mississauga notifying me that my sponsorship has been approved and that
the undertaking and the Application for Permanent Residence have been forwarded to the Visa Office in SAO PAULO for further processing.

June 28th eCAS shows they received the application.

August 12th started processing.

Some time around September 11th - 18th eCAS posted that a decision was made and they would contact the applicant.
That's when I started this post. Sure had me nervous because it was moving so fast and I'm sure the anxiety I
felt was nothing compared to the souls who wait months to years for this process to pass.
CIC Sao Paulo has been calling maybe once to twice a week for the past few weeks but my wife was not able to attend.
We imagined by now they gave up calling and a letter was on it's way.
My wife said the agent who called was very pleasant and thanked us for such a nice job with the application!! (ME DID!!)
and that it made her job very easy. She promised to get it in the mail for Bahia comes monday.

This is still just soaking in to me folks! I think I'm in a little shock or something haha! I just called my love a few hours back and got
the news so everyone here is are the second to hear the news from my mouth, or fingers I guess.

We will be back home by christmas... my dear wife will have to get broken in to our wonderful white winters real quick!
As will I as this will be my first winter back in Canada since '03 Shocked
Blessings
