Proof of Citizenship timeline

[kubrickian]

I’m applying for a replacement for my lost citizenship card.

Submitted application to my embassy June 2019
Received in CPC Sydney August 2019
AOR sent November 2019

Nothing since then. Emailed several times, got very generic answer. Last answer is that my application is in queue to be reviewed by an agent.

Anyone here on a simlar timeline? What is your status?

Thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing your timeline!

We have almost the same timeline. Is your status currently “processing” or application received. Are you applying for first time or for replacement?

I figured I'd give a minor update to my Citizenship by Descent journey. I sent in my application in September 2018 and I expected a very quick turnaround. My mother was born in Glace Bay, NS and the processing center is in close by Sydney, NS. and I was born in NYC. I sent in copies of all documentation and waited only to find out my application went to the Program Support Unit in November 2018. I have remained in "application received" status until last Tuesday February 25, 2020 when my status changed to "in process".

Here is my timeline:

1. We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on October 18, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on October 24, 2018.
3. We sent you a letter on November 27, 2018. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
4. We sent you a letter on November 28, 2018. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Does anyone know if my status changing to "in process" really means anything? I've done a lot of searching on this site and don't see anything definitive. I still have no idea why my application went to PSU. The only thing I can think of is the name changes because of marriages. My mom was born X, got married and became Y. I was born Y and got married and became Z.

Hoping my journey is on the home stretch...

March 6, 2020...Decision Made and Certificate will be mailed.

I don't know if I should send my application again or if I should wait a little longer. I sent another message via the IRCC Web Form last week to ask about my application. I got a response saying they could not locate my application which was sent to the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. I had sent my application on the 14th October 2019 to the High Commission of Canada in South Africa. They confirmed processing the application and sending it to Canada on the 7th November 2019. I sent another web form message with the payment receipt and mail confirming the application was sent.

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

So basically 5 months to get the AOR, let me wait a bit... its 4 months and a few days since submitting through the high commission. Where you based?

British citizen applying for proof of citizenship through descent via New Zealand embassy.

1. We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on October 18, 2019.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on January 14, 2020.

After reading other posts I'm worried now that as I am applying from outside my home country, the embassy may not verify my identity and will recommend DNA testing, or it will go to program support. Does anyone have any experience of this?

My application was processed at the same time as yours and the certificate was finally mailed last week.. I applied end of June... so I think they are currently working on normal processing applications that were received in June/July.

I applied for proof of citizenship (certificate) which was recieved on August 23, 2019. I got an awknolwge email on November 7, 2019. No updates since then. I emailed IIRC today, waiting for their response.

Feels like proccessing time could be delayed even more now due to the current COVID-19 situation.

We received an update on march 12 the application is being press, the status is "Decision Made", no update since then.

Does anyone know if IRCC and CPC Sydney more specifically are doing home office now? Hopefully I could still receive my certificate soon...been waiting since last year June.
