Pedidos de passaportes!!!! VIVAAA!

É isso mesmo pessoal, depois de 6 meses de esperas, passos largos e muita ansiedade, chegamos ao ponto derradeiro do processo! Pediram nossos passaportes e o pagamento da taxa de direito de residencia permanente! É muita alegria e um misto de sensações.

Para os curiosos, como eu, vou colocar algumas coisas que eu sempre tive curiosidade mas nunca tinha achado em algum outro blog.

O assunto do e-mail é : Consulate General of Canada – Visa and Immigration Section PPT & RPRF e o rementente é SPALOIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca.

Destaques:

• Você poderá definir o endereço de retorno dos passaportes (não precisa ser o da aplicação).
• Você pode tirar outro passaporte tranquilamente durante o processo, dúvida que já vi de outras pessoas, ex: Passaporte expirando, nome de solteiro, etc. Recomenda-se que seja antes dessa solicitação ou você terá que correr contra o tempo, pois o prazo é curto, apenas 30 dias! Entre o pedido e o envio do passaporte com as taxas senão terão que fazer exames médicos novamente e novos certificados policiais.
• O nome usado no visto e em todos os documentos que você terá no Canadá é o que está no passaporte, então AJUSTE-O antes desse passo.
• Podemos pagar on-line, embora eu não tenha feito. Um colega de processo do facebook pagou online e foi tranquilo.
• Crianças não pagam a Taxa.
• A validade do visto é de 1 ano a contar da data do seu exame médico, OU a validade do seu passaporte, o que vier primeiro.

Ainda vou falar sobre o retorno dos passaportes, pois parece que é carta registrada! Affe! #HajaCoração.

Enviamos os nossos passaportes com o comprovante do deposito, uma cartinha explicando e etiquetas de endereçamento para retorno dos passaportes ao consulado por SEDEX 10!!! Amanhã cedo deve chegar! 🙂

Aguarde cenas dos próximos capítulos! #ALEGRIADEFINE

Dear Sir / Madam,

This is to advise that the processing of your application to immigrate to Canada has reached the stage where you are required to pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee [RPRF] and send your passport (and your dependants’). This fee applies for the principal applicant and accompanying spouse, common-law or conjugal partner.

About RPRF (Right of Permanent Residence fee)

Family class cases (FC1, FC4, FCC, FCD, FCE, etc):  If you are a member of the family class, your sponsor in Canada will be requested by the Case Processing Center in Mississauga, Ontario, to pay the RPRF on your behalf. Instructions about RPRF payment (which must be done to our office in Mississauga) is available at https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en .

ATTENTION: If the RPRF has already been paid by the sponsor, please disregard this part of the message and refer to the Passports Section only (instructions below).

Economic and Business class cases (SW1-PQ, SW1-FED, EN2, SE2, PV2, etc): The Fee is 490 Canadian dollars per person. For the exact amount due in Brazilian Reais please access our website www.brazil.gc.ca > Visas and Immigration >  Fees and payment options.  This fee is refundable in the event that you decide not to proceed to Canada to be landed. If you have made a direct deposit, please send the original receipt from HSBC Bank to this Office. Please keep a copy of the receipt for your record.

You can now pay your Right of Permanent Residence Fee online. Instructions on how to pay your fees can be found at:https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en. Once you have completed your online payment, please retain a copy of the receipt and forward the confirmation of payment to the following e-mail address: spalo-immigration@international.gc.ca. The e-mail to our office must include your full name, date of birth of the principal applicant and file number.

In all cases, dependent children regardless of their age are exempt from paying the RPRF.

Unless you remit your Right of Permanent Residence Fee within 30 days of the date of this letter, we will not be able to finalize your application and issue immigrant visa(s). We must advise you that delay in the payment of the RPRF may result in the expiration of your security or medical results.

Although we are requesting the payment of the RPRF, YOU SHOULD NOT give up your employment, dispose of property or make any other commitment, including travel arrangements, until your visa has been issued.

About passports:

When forwarding the passport, please attach a letter confirming to which address we should send the passport to. If this address is not in Brazil, please be advised that this Consulate cannot cover the costs of sending a passport abroad. In that case, if you have a courier account, kindly provide its number, so that we can forward the passports to the mailing address, collect. Another option is to ask someone of your trust to come to the Consulate during working hours to pick up the passports. A signed consent from you is required.

Also, please be advised that the permanent resident visa(s) will match your name exactly as it shows on the passport. Consequently, the documents issued to you in Canada (e.g. permanent residence card, social insurance number, health card, etc…) would reflect the name shown in your visa. If you want or need your document issued in Canada to show a different name other than the one stated in your passport (for example, new name after marriage), you will have to obtain a new passport.

Should you or any person included on your application change, or intend to change marital status, you must inform this office before the issuance of the visa. You must also advise if the configuration of your family has changed e.g. [births, deaths, adoptions, etc…].

The permanent resident visa will have the same validity date as the medical examination results, that is, 12 months from the date of the first examination, or according to the validity of your passport or any accompanying family member’s passport, whichever is the earliest. Once issued, the validity of an immigrant visa cannot be extended.

Should you wish to renew your passport, this has to be done before you submit your passport for the issuance of the immigration visa. You must also send us yours and your accompanying family members’ passports and you have 30 days to send the passport(s) to this Consulate.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, should you require any additional information or clarification.

Yours Sincerely,

Visa and Immigration Section
