US Immigration from Brazil

Hello! Hope someone here can help because no one ever replied to my post on Canada Visa forum lol

I entered Canada as an international student, and now I have a PGWP valid until 2024 and a valid ETA.

I travelled to my home country to visit family, stayed longer due to Covid, vaccinations and a long time not seeing family, and I want to know if I will have any problems re-entering Canada after about 6 months away.
I couldn't find anything online about how long can I be out of Canada as a temporary resident, and I tried searching through this forum but couldn't find a similar situation here.

Thank you for your help!

Hello!

To give more context to the topic title, me and my fianc filed for the K1 visa this year and I am from Brazil currently residing in Brazil. However, until last year I was residing in Canada, so that means that I will need to get a police certificate/criminal check from RCMP for the NVC/Consular part of the process seeing I resided in Canada for almost 3 years. I still have ties to Canada and I still work for a Canadian company. I am planning to visit Canada this summer because of work and I was wondering if it's possible to request the police certificate from inside Canada while I'm there. I'm planning on spending about a month.

I know I can also request it from outside of Canada, but that would require me to take my fingerprints here and it will be costly in terms of travelling (need to go to the federal police in another city on a work day), then mailing everything back and forward, and also of course paying the service fees to an accredited agency. You can argue that travelling to Canada would be even more costly, but since I am already planning this trip due to work and friends, I feel it's easier to get it from there.

My main questions are:
- I can request this police certificate while on a trip, knowing I am not residing there and might get the certificate before I leave Canda? (I still have a valid temporary resident permit if it makes a difference).

- I hear that the certificate valid for 2 years. Is this correct? With the way things are going now, it's possible that the process would take longer than 2 years and I would need to request another certificate this time from Brazil?

- Anyone that had to request this from outside Canada, specially from Latin America, how long did it take to get it?

Any advice is welcome, even if you think my concerns here are a no-brainer.

Hello!!

I have a question and I hope someone can help me..

I'm from Brazil and I'm engaged to an American, we plan to get married but we're not going to apply for a visa now. My question is if I can get the tourist visa, but together with my family, and if there is no danger that they will deny my visa and the visa of my family members because in that case I would be married.

A while ago I tried to get the visa by myself, but they denied it claiming that I didn't have enough reasons to prove that I wouldn't stay there illegally, but that I could try again the next day, but with different claims, that's why now I would try together with my family.

Thanks

Hi everyone!
I'd really appreciate some guidance here.
We are gathering the documentation to apply for K1 and I've been researching everywhere, but I wasn't able to obtain reliable information about the need to have a certified translation of my marriage certificate, as I am divorced. Can I translate my own document, or can it be someone else fluent in the language, or is a certified translation registered by the notary mandatory in this case?
Thanks for any help

Anyone else still waiting for the NVC to DQ you? My NOA 2 was in January and sent to NVC Jan. 19 and still nothing and it's outside of processing times I sent an inquiry.
