Today we received our passport request from Buffalo! Finally :)
And Ecas still shows "in process"... but no surprise there, I guess.
Congratulations. That actually did not take very long, you know.

Our timeline is a week before you at every stage, yet we've still not received a PPR or anything other than an email confirming they've received the medicals :(

Thanks for the support everyone :) The weird thing is, we think my fiance's medical is expired (we're not sure, we can't find the photocopy of it) since we were pretty sure he had it done in early August 2009, but there has been no mention at all of a new medical being required. I assume they will let us know when we get the passport back, if it is needed.

The Visa office in Sao Paulo called my wife on Monday. They will be sending her Passport with Visa in the mail Wednesday Aug 11, 2010. So hopefully she will arrive in Canada by next week! I must admit this process was much faster than we anticipated.

Good Luck to you all.
