Hi. Not at all. It'd be a big gamble. I can't put myself and my wife through that again.

Thanks, @oligaro , that's true. But we are aware of this. If you go through the thread you'll see we've been tracking the changes all along. When some of us applied, the average waiting time was about 9 years.

Not really.

There you go: Submitted in December 2016 Refusal November 2018

Well... Honestly, I wouldn't advise an investment in this process. Big gamble. A) I know that some of those 20-something cases were of Brazilians currently living in Canada. But something else that we hear is that Sao Paulo's office will be shut down and Brazilian processes will be redirected...

Yes, the whole situation is very weird. We actually had a mass refusal in Brazil this past month. More than 20 cases* in the same Self-Employed category, some people were really qualified. Everyone received generic letters, providing no details for the refusals. In a private conversation, the...

Final decision reached. My request was denied. I got a generic refusal letter yesterday. Good luck to you, guys. I'm out.

:) Thank you. That's nice of you.

I'm sorry, have you been reading this thread? My last message was actually a follow-up to message #113, in which I commentend on my GCMS notes. I haven't had any updates since AOR. And there's been no assessment whatsoever. I initially sent my documents to Nova Scotia. Now, my file is...

Hey! I got it on March 13, 2017.

Quick update. I got my GCMS notes. Eligibility assessment "not started". (see picture) Very frustrating.

Amazing post, thank you!

Updated processing times: 24 month(s) Not a major update, but it's still good to see it go lower.

Well, I know of cases of successful Self-employed immigration for musicians that didn't fit that description (extensive touring, selling albums etc.). There are certainly other ways to show you're a good, capable professional.

It hasn't changed since I got the AOR. "We are processing your application."

Oh, yeah. I understand. The lack of news and the wait can lead to great anxiety, right?
