Please could you share your timeline, it is will be great for comparassion purposes.
One more question after receive AOR , did you receive another AOR from Sao Paulo VO ? How can I know if my file was transferred ?

My timeline is:
PNP Saskatchewan applicantion - SINP OID Category (without job offer)
App Filled: Jan 03
Nomination: Jun 09
AOR Received: Sep 30.
Medical Request: Waiting.

Hello Robson,
With you Nomination you were also qualified to apply to the Work Permit. My sister did the same PNP thing and arrived in SK last week, her timeline is almost like yours and she is there already. But after the AOR it will come Medical request, RPRF and than Passport Request.
I don´t know if you want to go as soon as possible or if you are already in Canada but the only thing now is to wait on Sao Paulo VO mercy to work on your file....I am waiting on them as well...I know that the website says about 16 months to process PR thru SPVO but I believe that within 9 months you can be done with it! These is my opinion only. Take care

As far as I know nominations themselves aren't sufficient for a WP... Once you get an AOR from an ITA then you become eligible for a BOWP (bridging open work permit) but for that you need to already have a WP (so CE or Inland FSW).

Great news I research in the official site and I think I am eligible for BOWP , because my nomination letter is in SINP OID without job offer and for PNP this is the pre requisite. I really appreciate your informtion. Thanks a lot - Follow the link - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp
Note: Foreign nationals in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are eligible for a BOWP only if they have provided a copy of the nomination letter issued by the nominating province or territory along with their application and there is no indication that employment restrictions exist as conditions of the nomination.

Hi guys
I was finally invited today to apply to PR through EE .. after waiting for almost 2 years ...
My question is about the financial statement , CIC asks a letter from the bank with a lot of special requirements , has anybody got a letter from a bank in Brazil? ...I have a bank account in ITAU , I tried to explain to the manager, but that one didn't know about any letter model .

Thanks

What are these special requirements?

As far as I know you need the following:
- It needs to be on letterhead (papel timbrado)
- It should have you name and account number
- It should say you posses XXX amounts of funds that are unencumbered and readily available
- It should be stamped and signed by you manager (or someone at the bank)

This is what I used for OINP from my bank (should suffice, no?):

We hereby declare that Mr. XXX registered under CPF XX in the general taxpayers registry, resident at XXX has been our client since XX/XX/XXXX, having always conducted him self with punctuality and correctness in all financial transactions with this bank.

Mr XXX has requested a statement for the purpose of demonstrating his financial capacity, we wish to declare that his current account is equivalent to USD XXX and that these funds are unencumbered and readily available.

Hi guy, congrats for your ITA.

Regarding the bank letter, there is a post in a Brazilian forum that could help you. The link is http://www.canadaparabrasileiros.com/forum/topic/4467-express-entry-guia-documentação-pós-ita/, you should be logged to see it. Below is a quote with the text about proof of funds.

3 - Comprovação Financeira

Essa parte é uma das mais difíceis pois é necessário tempo e mais tempo para juntar dinheiro, então por mais que você tenha todos os outros documentos e requirementos prontos, se não tiver o dinheiro necessário, vai ter que esperar. O Canadá exige que você possua uma determinada quantia em dinheiro (dependendo do número de pessoas que vai com você para lá) que ele considera suficiente para você se manter sem emprego ou renda por pelo menos um ano. De acordo com o site do Canadá (essa informação você pode achar nesse link direto: Reserva Mínima), para o nosso caso que somos eu e minha esposa, é necessário um mínimo de $14,853 dólares canadenses. Com a cotação de hoje para se ter uma idéia, seria R$44.559,00. Esse dinheiro não pode ser emprestado, não pode ser de imóvel ou outro bem, tem que ser um dinheiro com liquidez disponível para uso imediato.

O Canadá pede que você mostre seu histórico bancário dos últimos 6 meses através de uma carta do seu banco, com papel timbrado, assinado e carimbado pelo seu gerente. Nós pedimos uma carta para o gerente do nosso banco, que é uma carta de idoneidade, nela estão informações de saldo dos últimos 6 meses, data de abertura da conta, dados pessoais e saldo final tanto da conta corrente como conta poupança. Nós também enviamos o resumo da nossa declaração de Imposto de Renda do ano passado, pois consta que possuímos dinheiro em espécie. Além disso, enviamos extratos do plano de previdência privada que pode ser utilizado já que no nosso caso podemos retirar o valor a qualquer momento. Nós também fizemos uma carta de explicação sobre nossa parte financeira, mas isso foi uma decisão nossa para facilitar quem estiver analisando nossa aplicação. Cada caso é um caso, então você precisa encontrar as formas de mostrar para o governo canadense que você possui aquele dinheiro mínimo. Vale lembrar que todos os documentos que não estão em inglês precisam de tradução juramentada.

Aqui embaixo está o exemplo da nossa carta, como recebemos do nosso gerente, para vocês terem uma idéia de como ela pode ser.

Hope it help you.
