Hi, I'm Brazilian with Japanese heritage so I've lived most of my life in Japan.
I've read some posts stating that depending on the number of countries you've been to for over 6 months after turning 18, it could delay your application.
Is the Japanese government known for being slow at releasing this kind of information?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Ellasg

I' m brazilian too and the background check from Brazil took 4 months and I' ve lived all of my life in Brazil before to come to Canada.
There is a member Tomorisu who is an inland applicant from Japan maybe you can have some info with him.
Good luck!!

Hi! The forum is lacking some Brazilians. :)
Thank you for your response but I forgot to specify that I'm applying Outland so that's my mistake! I assume the background check would be different for me because most applicants through São Paulo have to submit a Police Certificate from Brazil but I only had to submit the Japanese Police Certificate so I was wondering how long my travel history could delay my case.

Good luck to you as well!
