Naturalizing is not the same as jus sanguinis citizenship acquired at birth, which is my case (father born in B.C., I applied for a citizenship certificate0. Even getting proof of that ("exercising") another citizenship is generally acceptable except in the case of government/public sector work...

You should contact the consulate and request urgent processing: NOTICE: Effective until fall 2017 Dual Canadian citizens impacted by eTA can apply for a proof of citizenship urgently. To qualify, the Canadian citizen must: also be a citizen of a visa-exempt country, have proof of air travel...

Practically the US expects that you enter the US on a US passport and leave the US on a US passport. Right now, the former is easily enforced (incoming customs controls whether on US soil or preclearance) while the latter is not because the US generally does not have exit customs controls...

How long did it take for the passport to arrive, and by what method (mail? trackable mail? UPS? Fedex?). I applied in person in Scarborough ON for mail delivery of the passport to the US (don't know the next time I will be in Canada) which baffled the office staff there (pickup is $100 CAD...

I'm really struggling to figure out the discrepancy in processing times here. andrewhl did it with urgent processing (to get healthcare coverage for a child) and of course they received it and turned it around quickly. Goshojosh06 and I both applied non-urgent. About one month from date of...

Well, the first half is over. Mailed: 2nd July 2017 Delivered to CIC: 7th July 2017 AOR: 26th July 2017 Approval: 25th August 2017 Application marked "complete": 31st August 2017 Receipt of certificate: 9th September 2017 Now I just need to get the passport...

Still waiting. Hasn't shown up in the Informed Delivery Yet either. (Informed Delivery only scans letter sized mail, so it might arrive today [6 business days, which is Canada Post's "delivery standard" for mail to the US, but not in any way guaranteed] and I just don't know it yet.)

They make the photographer date the photos for a reason. With transportation times (up to 2 weeks with mail coming from the US, much longer if the application is collected from an embassy) and then processing times (mine took a month), it would result in a ton of returned applications if they...

I'm confused. Are you also a dual citizen (which Germany generally doesn't allow, but permits in certain cases) or are you just a German citizen with Global Entry [who is eligible for GE once cleared by the German Federal Police + application made & approved by US]? If you have a Global Entry...

You could always try the loophole listed at the top of this page of the thread to call the call center. They might tell you to pound sand because it hasn't been five months yet, but they might be able to give you an idea. My case was pretty straightforward - I had a brand new polymer birth...

Yeah, that's a much simpler check, assuming a person honestly discloses they are a Canadian citizen the eTA form doesn't allow it to proceed. What I was referencing earlier is the system checks on completed eTA forms. When someone "appears to be a citizen of Canada" the system will drop a...

I would consider the NEXUS card a travel document. Whether or not IRCC/CIC knows or cares is potentially another story, but if I were to apply for something with a government and they asked for photocopies of my travel documents, I would include the NEXUS card. NEXUS is run by US CBP & CBSA...

Just changed today, thankfully only 6 days/4 business days after they marked my application as complete. Again, no email of this, just updated on the tool. Now to just wait for it to arrive... Mailed: 2nd July 2017 Delivered to CIC: 7th July AOR: 26th July (email sent to inform me of this)...

Yeah, just make sure that you send the mail trackable, and add it to Packagetrackr (you can add packages from different couriers and it will regularly check the status, and send you an email when it's out for delivery). I I think letter mail traditionally processes the border pretty quick, but...

Use the free version of PDF X-Change Editor - I used it to form fill CIT 0001E and that saved fine, when form fills in the browser and in Adobe Reader DC would not save to the file (Changes lost upon closing the file).

#1 (We received your application...) reflects the day on which Canada Post delivered my envelope to Sydney. #2 (We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt) reflects when CIC/IRCC opened the envelope and checked that all of the documents that were supposed to be included actually were. I...

I filled out 8B like this (father was born in Canada, did not check any of the boxes on his section of 8B) and included a cover letter explaining that I didn't check anything because he was born in Canada and my CIT 0001E application by descent was approved.

IRCC/CIC did end up accepting my application yesterday (processed and approved) with 8B filled in that way, so I'm sure the application you are making will be fine.

Finally done. Just have to wait for them to actually mail the thing, since apparently the date on the application status that claims it was mailed is premature (per GoshoJosh06). We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on July 7, 2017. We sent...
