How does SA email works? Do we receive it from the Consulate in Canada or Sao Paulo Visa Office?
I thought that when they say it began to be processed is that Sponsorship was already approved!

I received my SA email from CPC (Case Processing Centre Mississauga), the email just states that I met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The true wait begins once CPC sends your application to SP for PPR.

So, once it reaches SP it means that the Sponsor was approved?
The status that says "in process" is it bee processed in Canada or Brazil?
If you can share what you know it will be great!

Yes, if your application was sent to SP then the sponsor has been approved. If the application was declined then you would be notified and a portion of your funds would be returned back to you. I wouldn't fully trust the status on the "Check your application page" as this is not frequently updated. My wife just recently received her PPR and the status still shows "in process". For more up to date information I would get the applicant to try Linking their MyCIC account to the PR application (once SA has been approved), when linked you can receive more updated alerts/status (this process can be quite annoying).

The thing is when you have a lawyer they do not allow us to have access to the application linking to MyCic. They ask us to submit a new form saying that you no longer have a representative.
They say that because every lawyer/representative has access to these applications thru a paid website.
I tried to do that and even sent an email to visa office and they said there is nothing else they can do. at the other hand I cannot remove my representative from my PR application so I guess I must wait.
Thanks for the information you shared!

Hi everyone!
I was asked to submit my Canadian background check and pay the $490 fee. I am in Niagara. The fingerprints company is sending my results to Mississauga not Sao Paulo. Is it ok? I submitted the payment receipt via email. Is it okay?

your answer will be very much appreciated!

Glad to hear your process is moving ahead! We included our Canadian background check as part of original package. I wasn't sure it was needed or not but for $57 bucks was worth. Besides it'd be much more expensive to do it from Brazil.

If I were you, I'd have requested to send to my home address then ship it myself to SP. I'd be afraid to leave it hanging in Mississauga for an officer to send it to SP, my understanding they must see the original. But again, just my thinking, perhaps when gets to Mississauga they will only flag system as "received". Good luck!

Congratulations! So it took 16 days to reach your home. Which state in Brazil are you located? So I can consider Correios time to delivery. Did you receive by registered mail or you provided them any self return envelope?
Please, share with us!
Take care!

Hi everyone!

I've been reading on other threads that some visa offices don't send AOR2 and I'm just wondering what the case is with Sao Paulo. Does Sao Paulo send AOR2?

No! Expect no communication unless they need something from you. No news is good news.
