Brazzil

It is hard to believe that Brazil does not care about well educated Brazilians.
In this Sunday, I read in the Toronto Star newspaper about the Canada's immigration exodus. Canadians are concern that Chinese-Canadians are going back to China.
Many provincial and city governments from China have been sending delegations to Canada each year to "invite" expats to return home through incentives such as boosted tax benefits and start-up funds for business. Some of the leading industries include trade and merchandizing, financial services in banking, insurance and mutual funds, as well as science technology.
Canada needs to take a collective effort if it's serious about it. What the Canadian government can do is to call a strategic committee with a panel of Chinese experts to come up with a plan and act on it.
However, Brazil does not think about such issues to hold skill labours in the Country and make an effective plan to bring back Brazilians living aboard. I observe that Brazilian Institutions do everything to keep outside of Brazil the individuals who could contribute to the economical and social growth of the Country. Perhaps, Brazil will be the raw material of the world with a strong agriculture. While will behind in trade, science and technology.
Brazil really does not care with Brazilians with some education that lives aboard, per example. In 1999, I had the opportunity to travel to Indonesia. I knew a lady with which I got married following the law and traditions from Indonesia.
Since that, I have tried to legalize this marriage in Brazil. However, I just find a hard time. My wife tried to register this marriage in the Brazilian Consular Service in Indonesia when she was living there but they did not accept because I was not in Indonesia.
In these last years, I went many times at Brazilian General Consulate in Toronto, Canada and always heard half explanations about the procedure for legalization of such documents. We went in a notary office in Toronto and we did a document with recognize signature stating that our marriage is in partial goods share to satisfy the Brazilian law. All these documents were brought to the Brazilian General Consulate in Toronto and we paid a fee of $ 72.00 dollars for such documents being recognized to be original.
We sent such papers to Brazilian Embassy in Jakarta. Although, so far we met a bad willing from the Brazilian Diplomacy Service in recognize the documents. I changed various e-mails with Ms. Ingrid about such documents. Ms. Ingrid through of her e-mails told me that the staff Ms. Jenny was responsible for such documentation.
In February 11, 2005 my sister in law went from Surabaya to Jacarta and visits the Brazilian Embassy with purpose to pay the fees and make the burocratic service in Indonesia Institutions.
To make things more easy, in this day, I called Ms Jenny, and she did not knew where was the file and told me that such procedure was only with Ms. Ingrid that was absent from the work.
Then, I called twice the embassy in Jakarta to speak with Mr. Jose Auri in the same morning and I asked him politely if he could give these documents to my sister in law.
So, he decided to give the papers to her and ask her to go to Surabaya to recognize the signature of the Justice Official that did the marriage.

It is very hard to believe in what is happening. I went to Indonesia; I was treated as a King. I respected the laws from that Country. I married conform the laws and traditions of Indonesia and now the Consular Service of my Country is making so difficult to recognize and register my marriage. Why? Discrimination? Envy?

My wife has an accounting degree from Airlangga University in Surabaya, she worked for more than 8 years at Ernest & Young and she was a senior audit when I met her. She came to Canada and recently ends a program in accounting at Seneca College with honours. She works from Monday to Sunday in two part time jobs and goes to College at night. I believe that any Country wants to recognize our marriage. The Canadian government never did a question about our marriage. Why Brazil makes so hard to recognize such documents?
Brazil should have good diplomatic body in any country. If the person is not fit for such service should be sent away and not sent to work in poor countries.

By Brazilian law, even being married, if I have sexual intercourse with a prostitute, and if she can prove it, she has the same civil rights than my wife. Now, why my wife in which a married inside a mosque does not have the same rights? Is it because she is Muslim? Or because she has another ethnic background?

I demand an explanation; I am fed up with this story. My sister in law wants to wait a new diplomatic body start to work in Jakarta to proceed with such documentation.

I feel ashamed from such service as Brazilian citizen.
