Hi @sentraj
Did you apply for the Canadian Citizenship Certificate under 'Urgent Processing'? If so, assuming there's still no update yet, I'm not quite sure why yours is taking longer processing time.
If I was in your shoes, I would reach out to CIC and request them to expedite my case citing the medical situation and the urgency required. This should get some response from CIC usually in about one week's time.
I'm assuming that when you applied for your citizenship certificate for urgent processing, you did, indeed, provide a good explanation letter describing the situation and citing why the application should be processed urgently, and provided them with documentary evidences to support your case for expedited (urgent) processing.
Please also bear in mind the potential impact of ongoing Canada Post strike in case they may have sent you some correspondence which might still be in the transit. But if you're following your application's progress online, this should not make much difference, thought I should mention this just in case.
So constantly chasing your application with CIC seems like the way forward for you. Hopefully this helps and apologies for the delayed reply.

What is the contact number for where we can call the CIC?
My son was born outside of Canada on May 2024. I applied online for his Canadian Certificate of Citizenship as I became a Canadian Citizen myself after July 2009.
Application was submitted on the 28th of June 2024. UCI received approx. 5 months later. Its been around 8 months now and there is no movement whatsoever in the application and no response from the IRCC when I contact them through the webform. Normal processing time for online applications is around 3-4 Months as per IRCC portal.
Any idea what the problem could be? Even if I am not eligible to apply online the IRCC would have let us know that by now right? Any guidance please help.
We need to move back to Canada in April this year and if we dont receive the proof of certificate of citizenship by then, can we apply for a temporary passport for my son to travel to Canada?
