Thank you.

Our files were transferred to Sao Paulo around the same time - so just be patient and I'm sure you'll get your passport request soon. Let us all know as soon as you get it - best of luck to you and everyone for a quick process.

Hi there,

CIC requested my husband's passport last Wednesday and they received it on Friday July 15th. They say it can take up to 30 days. Hopefully they'll do faster... I am impatient to have my husband back home with me. I'll make sure to let you all know when my husband gets his passport back.

Patience is a virtue

Hi there - so how long did it take to get your passport back? we just got passport request today and was wondering if we should courier it in or use one of the Visa application centres.

wish you well and welcome to \Canada

John
 
Hi all,

My husband just received a request to send in an RCMP check. Has anyone gotten this screening done? Is it as simple as going to a police station and submitting his fingerprints and info?

I'm hoping this means that things are moving along :)

Congratulations to John! Hope we are close behind you.
 
Hi everyone,
New here. So people have been telling me that Sao Paulo VO is not that busy compared to other VO's so processing times should be faster, having seen this forum for Sao Paulo VO there is not that many applicants with a Sao Paulo VO (comparing with spreadsheets as well) however processing is still fairly slow I think. Now 10 months :o

Where is your husband?

If in Canada he needs to go to a "finger printer agency" to get it done. It costs around 55$ CAD dollars and will get it back in 1 - 2 weeks. My partner did in downtown Toronto, there are a couple in downtown.

If he is outside Canada is still doable, but will take longer and cost more to do it from web. From what I heard around 400$ US.

Note: policy station doesn't do it anymore unless the request tells you to go to a specific one with address.
 
He's in Canada right now! Ok on the website it said a police station can do it but there were no specific names. There's a list of agencies for fingerprinting. Thanks so much!
 
Hello there!

Hello all,

Just to update you all... On September 27th I got a request form immigration for an interview over the phone. The interview was booked for last Friday, the 14th. It was short, smooth (even I was freaking out and nervous) and apparently a success as the immigration officer interviewing me said my application was going to be approved.
She mentioned my husband and I will receive an email requesting my passport in the following days/weeks and the email will also have instruction to be follow in reason to finalize our process.

My lawyer said once the officer said its approved its DONE!!!!! So excited and happy!!! Words can describe! However, we are not going to be 100% ready to celebrate until I have all my documents/cards with my pics in my wallet! Lol! Waiting impatience for their email to finalize everything...

Will keep you guys posted!
Thanks a lot... Wish you all the best!
