My husband received his PPR March 27. We applied around Oct 20/16. He received his passport back yesterday and will land in a couple weeks. Good luck to all - hope the waits are not too long for you all.

If you have been receiving email communication from them, it should continue that way. I received the PPR around the same time as I received Decision Made on ecas, but I understand some people waited a few weeks. It seems to vary greatly from visa office to visa office, agent to agent. Nothing...

Thanks! The registered mail is probably ok, or else we'd see a long line of complaints from people who never saw their passports again :D My husband is going to decide what to do tomorrow, but good to know somebody has faith in the courier service. He can make up his own mind then and i can...

I will give a little bit more info, just in case it happens to anybody else. Hopefully my husband just happened upon a terrible agent that day and this is not a thing: The email we received was from SPALOIMMIGRATION and cited our case number, so there was no question it was legit. It opened...

My husband was going to go through the visa service today to send his passport to the embassy, rather than use a courier, and they weren't particularly helpful. The email letter we received was incredibly clear on what the next steps were and that those needed to be completed within the next 30...

Ligia, I had been tracking yours in order to estimate my own timeline so this really caught us by surprise today. I hope yours will be along shortly.

Our background status was sitting at "N/A" for a while and then moved to "... in progress ..." over the weekend. And just now we received an email requesting my husband's passport, which I guess is PPR :D I am happy but very surprised - this is about a 6-8 weeks faster than we expected this ...

Great news, KGLM! We're about a month behind you so hopefully this pace holds up :) Hope your next step comes soon.

Great news! For you, obviously, and for us because it indicates the SP office is working ;)

Thanks Kat! nice to see how we all compare to get an idea of when the next step might come...

As far as I can see, those of us going through the Sao Paul Visa Office are in the same boat as you. So, don't worry. Just the lucky ones sneaking through Ottawa VO are being treated as if their case has any degree of urgency to it ;) Yay to beer!

Our background check was in "Your application is in progress. The next step is to conduct a background check", which I gathered meant they hadn't started it. Then a couple weeks ago they asked for a new police certificate, which we provided. Then nothing (no change that they were waiting for...

My husband's medical has been listed as passed pretty much since they got our application, and his background check still says it hasn't started (even though we know that it has). I don't think there is any real rhyme nor reason for when and why they update those things, outside of the final stages.

They requested documents from us last week, we provided them, and ours still says the background check hasn't started them. I would guess that the status on the website varies significantly according to the agent, and whether or not they have bothered to update it lately ;D In either case, I...

Just making a guess, but it probably does depend on the county the certificate came from since that would determine how long it is valid? The Brazilian ones are only valid for 90 days, for example, so it makes sense they would ask for another one from my husband (though the other poster going...

They were quite specific that they wanted us to send it again: "After reviewing your case the immigration officer kindly requests that you submit the following information/documentation". I would guess some time after they receive it (which they did already, since for Brazil emailing it as a PDF...

My status didn't change online yet but the Sao Paulo visa office emailed us today to ask us to submit an updated criminal record check. I gather that is normal? We sent one in with the original application, but I suppose they need to confirm my husband didn't become a criminal between November...

Looks like I am a few weeks behind Ligia, but for what it is worth we received an email today asking us to submit and updated criminal record check. The status on the website didn't change yet though.

Thank you, Stevin. Question - if I link my husband's account (he is the primary applicant, I am the sponsor) to mycic login, will I get all the updates for him there or does he also need his own account?

Question - online ecas shows that our application was received in Sao Paulo (weeks ago now), but my husband never received an email or a letter confirming AOR2. Is this a point of concern, or have many others not received the letter but seen it updated online? I was wondering if we should...
