I finally received my Canadian VISA. <img src=\"https:\/\/www.matheuspitillo.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/mrgreen.png\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/>\u00a0And as I promised earlier, I&#8217;ll explain here how long the process took and, believe me or not, even with all the anxiety I went through, it took only <strong>A TOTAL OF 28 DAYS<\/strong>. Whaaaat?!! It seemed so much longer. :lol:Ok! Get your piece of paper and write down what each of these steps and the time taken, so you can schedule when you&#8217;re applying for your visa as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Excluding the time it takes to organize your documents and the initial Game Design Portfolio to be submitted and reviewed by the VFS itself and then to be approved, pass the oral exam and receive the school documents at home, an average of total time may be based on the times mentioned above. As the time it takes initially may differ from person to person, <em>my post here is based on the moment that you already have the letter of acceptance of Vancouver Film School<\/em>. And, from what I&#8217;ve been reading in the Internet, the total period is on average one month to receive the Canadian Student Visa and Study Permit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.matheuspitillo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Study-in-Canada-Visa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-485\" title=\"Study-in-Canada-Visa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matheuspitillo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Study-in-Canada-Visa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><strong>12 days:<\/strong> From the moment that everything was properly sent to the VAC and went through the process of analyzing the forms by the Embassy, before being returned to the VAC with the request and application form for medical examination;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">5 days:<\/strong> There were over five days &#8211; three working days &#8211; for the results of the medical examination to be received and finally sent via FedEx to Trinidad &amp; Tobago;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">11 days:<\/strong> Was the time it took the medical examinations to be received in Trinidad &amp; Tobago, be analysed and sent back to Brazil, where I could finally get my Passport with the Canadian Visa in the VAC of S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember that if you, like me, intend to be able to travel freely around the regions next to Canada, such as the United States, you will be required to obtain the <strong>Multiple Entry Visa<\/strong>, which allows you entry as many times you want during the duration of your Visa. I believe that usually the Students Visas with a duration of at least one year are already automatically requested as Multiple Entries, but it&#8217;s worth taking a little time and check it for sure to avoid any potential problems. To give an idea of how Canadian Visa looks, I ask you search on the Internet. For safety reasons I&#8217;d rather not put a picture of my Visa here on the site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My next step now is to obtain a U.S. Visa. I&#8217;ll not go into much detail about it now, because the focus of my site is not in the United States. But to make a brief summary, the intent of the U.S. visa is 100% in order to visit American cities such as Seattle, that is just a few hours from Vancouver where product prices are much cheaper, because of the prices being in U.S. dollars and not from a tourist city such as Vancouver. Also because with the U.S. Visa in hand, I do not run therisk of problems of any flight connection in a U.S. city. For more details about the U.S. Visa, please go the official website of the American Embassy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For now that&#8217;s it, folks! If you have any questions feel free to ask me through the comment section of the site. And stay tuned, soon I will create a post talking about housing programs in Vancouver, offered by Vancouver Film School itself, and other methods for renting an apartment\/house in the city. It really is something that is drawn out and complicated for me right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanks for visiting!

Aqui estou eu novamente e com \u00f3timas not\u00edcias. Eu finalmente consegui meu Visto Canadense. <img src=\"https:\/\/www.matheuspitillo.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/mrgreen.png\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> E como eu havia prometido anteriormente, eu vou explicar aqui quanto tempo levaram todos os procedimentos at\u00e9 finalmente conseguir o visto comigo. E acreditem ou n\u00e3o, mesmo com toda a ansiedade que passei durante esses dias e toda correria que eu tive contra o tempo, tudo levou apenas <strong>28 dias no total<\/strong>. Whaaaat?!!! Pareceu-me que levaram meses. \ud83d\ude06\u00a0Ok! Pegue o seu peda\u00e7o de papel e anote a\u00ed quais foram cada uma dessas etapas e o tempo que elas levaram, para assim voc\u00ea poder se programar quando voc\u00ea estiver tirando o seu visto tamb\u00e9m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tirando o tempo que leva-se para organizar seus documentos iniciais e o Game Design Portfolio para ser enviado e analisado pela pr\u00f3pria VFS e, em seguida ao ser aprovado, passar pela prova oral e receber os documentos da escola finalmente na sua casa, uma m\u00e9dia de tempo total pode ser baseada no meu tempo citado acima. Como o tempo que leva-se inicialmente \u00e9 algo mais &#8220;pessoal&#8221;, <em>esse meu post aqui \u00e9 baseado a partir do momento que voc\u00ea j\u00e1 tem a carta de admiss\u00e3o da Vancouver Film School.<\/em> E pelo que andei perambulando pela Internet, \u00e9 mais ou menos esse prazo total de um m\u00eas que todos levam para conseguir o Visto Estudantil Canadense e o Study Permit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>12 dias:<\/strong> A partir do momento que tudo foi enviado corretamente para o VAC e passou pelo processo de an\u00e1lise de formul\u00e1rios pela Embaixada e o retono ao VAC com o formul\u00e1rio de pedido de Exames M\u00e9dicos;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5 dias:<\/strong> Foram mais cinco dias &#8211; tr\u00eas dias \u00fateis &#8211; para os resultados dos exames m\u00e9dicos ficarem finalmente prontos, serem retirados pela secret\u00e1ria do Doutor e enfim enviados via FedEx para Trinidad &amp; Tobago;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>11 dias:<\/strong> Foi o tempo que levou para os Exames M\u00e9dicos chegarem em Trinidad &amp; Tobago, serem analisados e enviados de volta para o Brasil, onde pude finalmente buscar no VAC de S\u00e3o Paulo o meu Passaporte com o Visto Canadense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vale lembrar que se voc\u00ea, assim como eu, tem a inten\u00e7\u00e3o de poder viajar livremente pelas regi\u00f5es ao redor do Canad\u00e1, como por exemplo nos Estados Unidos, deve-se solicitar ent\u00e3o o visto de <strong>M\u00faltiplas Entradas<\/strong>, que permite sua sa\u00edda e entrada quantas vezes voc\u00ea quiser, durante o per\u00edodo de dura\u00e7\u00e3o do seu Visto. Eu acredito que normalmente os Vistos Estudantis com dura\u00e7\u00e3o de pelo menos um ano j\u00e1 s\u00e3o pedidos automaticamente como m\u00faltiplas entradas, mas vale tirar um tempinho e conferir isso ao certo para n\u00e3o ter problema. Para conferirem uma imagem de como \u00e9 o Visto Canadense, pe\u00e7o que confiram na Internet. Por medidas de seguran\u00e7a eu prefiro n\u00e3o colocar uma foto do meu visto aqui no site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meu pr\u00f3ximo passo agora \u00e9 conseguir o Visto Americano. N\u00e3o entrarei em muitos detalhes quanto a isso agora, porque o foco do meu site n\u00e3o \u00e9 nos Estados Unidos. Mas para fazer um breve resumo, a inten\u00e7\u00e3o do Visto Americano \u00e9 100% para poder visitar cidades Americanas, como por exemplo Seattle que fica a apenas algumas horas de Vancouver e possu\u00ed pre\u00e7os de produtos bem mais baratos por ser em D\u00f3lar Americano e tamb\u00e9m por n\u00e3o ser uma cidade t\u00e3o tur\u00edstica como a pr\u00f3pria Vancouver. Sem contar que com o Visto Americano eu n\u00e3o corro perigo de se, caso meu v\u00f4o precisar fazer conex\u00e3o em alguma cidade dos Estados Unidos, eu n\u00e3o ter nenhum problema para transitar. Para maiores detalhes quanto ao Visto Americano, pe\u00e7o que entrem no site oficial da Embaixada Americana.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Por enquanto \u00e9 isso, pessoal! Se tiverem alguma d\u00favida sinta-se a vontade para me questionar pelos coment\u00e1rios do site. E fiquem ligados que em breve eu criarei um post falando sobre Programas de Alojamento em Vancouver, oferecidos pela pr\u00f3pria Vancouver Film School e, outros m\u00e9todos para aluguel de apartamento\/casa pela cidade. Porque realmente \u00e9 algo que est\u00e1 sendo bem corrido e complicado para mim nesse momento.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obrigado pela visita!
