    Hey, no problem. I just looked but couldn't find an active "Lima thread", you can still use the search feature to find other people who applied through Peru. The average processing time for Brazilian applicants on CIC's website's 11 months but I was approved in less than 5 months; it should take...

    Hi, the average processing time for the Sponsorship Approval (first stage) is currently at 52 days. This estimate is more accurate than the second stage's processing time estimate, after being transferred to Lima, 80% of applications are being processed in less than 12 months, it could take less...

    Anyone want to join a thread for people applying in the near future?

    I had the option to apply through Manila as well but I'd recommend applying through UK, the Manila VO is swamped! For instance, I chose to apply for my Study Permit through Manila 2 years ago but asked to apply for my PR through São Paulo and both were approved!

    Sao Paulo Applications 2012/13

    I'm pretty sure it's on its way back to him, did you ask them to return it with Fedex as well? Have you tried asking them if it's been shipped yet? Since my only option was using a courier because I'm in Japan, I had to e-mail them our FeDex account number so they could express mail it to me. If...

    Disabled Sponsor, Sweetheart in Togo

    Miss Thea, I have some sensory issues and one of them is Hypo-tactility. I need a weighted blanket to fall asleep and the pressure helps me relax. I'm not sure if your craving for "touch" is similar to mine and weighted blankets are a little bit pricey but I'd recommend you to look into it.

    Passport Renewal

    Yes, I had to renew mine as well. Although it hasn't caused any delays to my case, it's better to inform them as soon as you can. Scan the passports and é-mail them stating the applicants full name, date of birth, UCI number and application # so they can link the photocopies to your case. Good luck.

    My boyfriend's friends can't understand how I have an italian name but Japanese and "Mexican" (Portuguese :P) surnames. I embrace it!

    URGENT- Extended my stay- CIC messed up on the date!!

    That would be an issue if she was posting the same thread multiple times but the subjects of her threads are unrelated. Unlike the other user that is currently spamming the forum, they should be banned.

    I'm the opposite, there's no way to cool down during the Japanese and the Amazonian summer (all year). It's way too humid!

    Congratulations! :o I have good news too. I sent an e-mail to SP VO at 9:30 AM asking if they could send my passport back using my spouse's FeDex number and 2 hours later they replied with the tracking number and expected delivery date. I'm so impressed by how organized and understanding they...

    Mailing address

    Send it to the P.O. Box if you're using regular mail. You can always ask them if they deliver to P.O. Boxes just to be sure, I know EMS Japan does.
