Hello everyone, there is too much scattered 2016 info in spreadsheets and posts so I've spent some time trying to organize them by member. Apologies in advance for any inaccuracy. I’m just capturing 2 dates: SA which is about same time when file is transferred to Sao Paulo AND PPR -passport request date, meaning application is fully approved and all set for final details.

1. nsjk16 - SA 3/15 - PPR 10/17
2. Jaytheo40 - SA 3/31 - PPR 9/27
3. Canadianbrazil - SA 4/15 - PPR 10/17
4. minimouse - SA 4/16 - PPR 9/15
5. FB_9192 - SA 6/3 - PPR 10/17
6. braziliangirl88 - SA 6/9 - PPR 10/18
7. ACM90 - SA 6/9 - PPR 10/20
8. canadiangirl90 - SA 8/3 - PPR wait
9. ohhhhcanada - SA 8/15 - PPR wait
10. leb_angel - SA 8/19 - PPR wait
11. nathan3B - SA 8/23 - PPR wait
12. T4m1 - SA 8/23 - PPR wait
13. eder11990 - SA 8/24 - PPR wait
14. nvnv - SA 9/1 - PPR wait
15. rio2016 - SA 9/8 - PPR wait
16. alooise - SA 10/7 - PPR wait
17. natrocha - SA wait - PPR wait

Last but not least, remember those dates just intend to give an idea. We don’t know when VO actually started to process them and for some there’s been docs and interview request. Feel free to post updates from your Sao Paulo application and questions.

Unfortunately I don't see any updates for past 10 days on August files.

Looks like they caught up on Q1/Q2 processes then have taken a break to work on something else. ;) ;)

What do you mean by Q1/Q2?
I fear we (August applicants) might not have any updates/news until after New Years :'(

Q1/Q2 first and second quarters, meaning J-F-M and A-M-J. Although they requested 7 passports in a month or so, Sao Paulo processing time still says 10 months on CIC.

My only hope is they are working June and July files which are not listed above. There is a 2 months gap between ACM90 and canadiangirl90.

For anyone who is still waiting, don't expect any communication from SP until a doc request/PPR. I contacted them multiple times to update them with information and they didn't update anything. Don't let yourself lose hope just because you haven't heard anything. It'll happen when you least expect it!!

WOW! Thanks a lot for organizing all this information, Rio2016!
It surely helps us feel less anxious!
Even though it's doesn't mean it'll be the same way for everyone, it feels like it takes an average of 3-4 months to get a PPR after SA, right?
I'm also assuming the Olympics in Rio may have delayed the first semester applications, because after that it has been much faster to everyone.
I hope Christmas Holidays don't delay it so much as well!

I'll keep posted to this thread...wishing everyone the best of luck on your processes! =)

Yes JZ ... it seems they put work on hold for few months then resume it in September.

Based on new dates I agree the new trend is 3-4 months between SA and PPR.

Unfortunately lot of August members seem to be inactive in the forum so I can't get info anywhere about their PPR. But I'm very happy to see the queue keeps moving with 2 PPR in November so far. ;)

thanks for organizing this for us, I will keep you updated with our application. We're 11 on your list (August) and still haven't received PPR.

God bless you all :)
