You can't get a VIPER anymore, because VIPER was abolished in 2017.聽 VIPER was a permanent visa that required the Federal Police to give you Authorization to Reside in Brazil.聽 The same function is now served by a VITEM, a temporary visa, which let's you come to Brazil and apply to the Federal Police for Authorization to Reside.聽 Since you're already here, you can go directly to the Federal Police step.

You want to request Authorization to Reside in Brazil on the Basis of Family Reunion聽 - "Reuni茫o Familiar".聽 You can do this either as a married couple or as partners in a stable union.聽 Check the "Imigra莽茫o" pages of the Federal Police website:聽 the documentation requirements are slightly different in each case.聽 The end result, though is the same:聽 a CRNM, national migrant ID card, which is what you want.

As for marriage,聽 different cart贸rios seem to have somewhat different requirements,聽 so talk to whatever one your fianc猫's family usually uses, but if they seem unreasonable, try some others.

Good luck!

Here's the link you'll need for the documents:

Thank you very much for the information! That helps a lot!

Ava,

For sworn translations, you have two options.聽 There are licensed professionals who do this in any major Brazilian city.聽 Google "Tradutor Juramentado S茫o Paulo", and you should find many names.聽 If you have scans of your documents, you can also use a licensed translator online.聽 I've had good luck with Fidelity Translations.

You will need all of the applicable documents listed at the URL I sent you, including the ones that Robal mentioned.聽 For the Criminal Background Check, you should contact the RCMP and find out whether and how you can obtain it remotely.

If your home address is in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, or Northwest Territories, your Canadian documents will need to be legalized at the Brazilian Consulate General in Vancouver.聽 There may be companies that can handle this for you; family members or friends also may be able to help.

With the covid emergency, your current Brazilian visa is being automatically extended -- that's the good news.聽 The bad news is that both the Federal Police and the Brazilian Consulates abroad are working a much reduced schedule.聽 When you have your documents together, you should contact them to find out their schedules.

If you and your fianc茅 decide that you need to go back to Canada to complete the documentation, getting married before you leave Brazil will probably facilitate your admission to both countries.

Thank you very much robal and abthree for all the information. From what I understand, then, my fianc茅 and I have to wait until we鈥檙e in Canada (because of my documents needing to be processed in Vancouver) to complete any legal actions regarding civil marriage, common law marriage, or religious marriage?

If that is so, is there any way to get some evidence of our relationship so that he is more likely to be admitted into Canada? I was just told today by the Canada Border that they are not allowing even boy/girlfriends in if they are foreign. Only common-law and spouses. How does one prove something like this?

Since we are religious, I am interested to know more about religious marriage if anyone knows. Is that it鈥檚 own category or is it the same thing as civil marriage but just done in a church?

Kind of overwhelmed by all the formalities and procedures. We just want to get married and move on with life. Thanks all for your helpful responses!

Have you and your fianc茅 spoken with cart贸rios and made sure that they won't marry you with the documents you have with you?聽 In Brazil, workarounds are often possible, especially at a time like this.聽 I wouldn't give up just based on things you've read in places like this, without confirming everything yourselves.

The way that "Religious Marriage with Civil Effect" works in Brazil is that the couple goes through the normal process of cart贸rio paperwork, up to the point just short of where the tabeli茫o would perform the actual marriage.聽 Instead of that, s/he delivers the marriage certificate to your clergyperson, who completes it with you just before or after (or, as I've seen in a Mormon ceremony, during) the wedding.聽 Then the clergyperson returns the completed document to the cart贸rio, and it's registered.

Since you're religious, you should talk to your fianc茅's pastor about your plans.聽 S/he may even have some pull with a cart贸rio and be able to ease your way.

With respect to a "uni茫o est谩vel", I believe that you and your fianc茅 can sign an affidavit in a cart贸rio that would give your relationship recognition under Brazilian law, but I have no idea to what extent Canada would accept it.

My fianc茅 went to the registry just recently, but they told him that my documents needed to be translated and authenticated in Canada first.

We鈥檒l do some asking around here though, as there must be some sort of way! I鈥檒l update if we find anything out. I know there鈥檚 been a lot of other people in this difficult situation too. Thanks again!

Have you checked your CA Consulate(s) in BR? They can authenticate documents and provide Citizen services.
As said cart贸rios will accept such and many translators located in BR.
See what Consulate can help you with.
I had many documents authenticated by US consulate. It provided me with a local translator and the cart贸rio also did a few translations.

Thank you Texanbrazil! We went to the Federal Police today and that鈥檚 exactly what they told us. Good advice!

I am happy the PF assisted. Many complain, but the office here has always been helpful.

Yes, I really like to go to the PF here. They鈥檝e always been extremely helpful.
