vfonte, your timeline mentions a nomination, but on the table you appear as FSW. Have you dropped a nomination? The reason I ask is that as far as we know FSW Outland - even from Brazil - are sent to Ottawa. Are you sure your process is in São Paulo?

Same here. No one answers, either by phone or email. As I've said before, it's like a fortress. It's so hard to communicate with them.

No, I've never received a nomination from a province. I put in the "nomination" field the date of my ITA, because there is no field for that. But to avoid confusion, I just removed that information.

I believe my application is in São Paulo because SPVO asked me for further proof of my work experience, which I sent by email. I can't be 100% sure that my application is there (we can never be 100% sure of anything when dealing with immigration issues) but following that information, I would say that.

Today I complete 213 days. Wondering if I will get to 300 days (and beyond).

I'm going to complete 8 months on the next 20th. Got new GCMS notes yesterday and the second checking has passed (August 10th). Now I have to wait for the end of the security check and, finally, the PPR. Hope everything happens soon for both of us.

Indeed, my friend. We all want this day count to end with good news, as soon as possible. Hopefully still this year!

Wow! That's probably a new (sad) record. I don't even know why they have that number if no one ever answers.

I sent an email to them today and I got the answer bellow:

Please be advised that your case is currently under assessment, and that it is not possible to expedite it at this point. Kindly note that some cases require additional information, and therefore they may fall outside the average processing time published on our website. If additional information is required, we will contact you.
Ajanoni, any news after this e-mail? Did you try contacting them again?

Galera é a crise.. literalmente!

A minha tradutora é registrada lá e conhece um pessoal de lá. Em fevereiro quando eu pedi para ela traduzir um monte de documentos ela tinha ido lá e me disse q tava um inferno, eles não atendem mais sem hora marcada e devido a crise e corte de custos eles não tinham gente para dá conta do trabalho!

Pelo que li aqui continua a mesma coisa...

Eu espero que o meu eventual processo não passe por lá, senão vou acabar esperando mais tempo pelo PR do que pela nomeação da OINP q já ta F*&@!

Sinto muito pelo que vocês estão passando e espero que eles se resolvam logo lá...

Cara, não faz muito sentido isso... teoricamente, se tem um workload que eles não dão conta, eles deveriam devolver para Ottawa alguns processos... e vida que segue.

Não deveriam segurar eternamente os processos... estranho isso.

Concordo até certo ponto... acontece que uma das funções do consulado (não lembro onde li isso mas lembro de ter lido) é justamente ser o braço do governo Canadence aqui no Brasil... Por exemplo, se a sua carta de referencia é em português e Ottawa determinou que precisa ser averiguada, alguém do consulado tem que ligar lá e verificar com a empresa em português. PCC da Policia Federal também deve ser o consulado que valida. Como tem algumas coisas são da jurisprudência do consulado fazer acho q não dá para devolver...

Hi, guys!
After 7 months and 25 days, the PPR finally came. SPVO sent me this afternoon - which is good for all of us because it shows they are working on EE applications! I got my RPRF request along with the passports one. I hope everybody here gets their own soon. My timeline is below:

AOR - Feb 19th
Schedule 4 Request - Mar 24th
RPRF and PPR - Oct 14th
Landing - before Christmas ;)

Thanks everybody for your tips and motivation.
