I think citizenship by descent is only passed down if your sister was born or naturalized in Canada; so if your sister was naturalized in Canada, then yes, her child would be considered first generation born abroad and a Canadian citizen by descent. I'm wondering, outside of naturalization...

Your application probably got sent to Program Support for further review. If you did not receive a Notice of Delay from the CIC, you can contact them to confirm this. Unfortunately, if your application got submitted to Program Support, there is no established timeline for processing, so you'll...

Congratulations! Now make it official by applying and obtaining a Canadian citizenship certificate.

Yes, the government has all of your information, so they know how you got your citizenship. No other proof is required, so just follow the document checklist and don't send anything that is not asked for, as this might send your child's application to Program Support for further review and...

There are no extra documents aside from what they require on the document checklist to prove that your child is first generation. The CIC should have your information when they check your citizenship certificate, and would know that your were naturalized; by their definition, being naturalized...

I think he meant to say that he is back in Afghanistan, and that he has been threatened by the Taliban because he has worked on an air field being used by the US.

1) On the Service Ontario website (https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-or-replace-ontario-birth-certificate), it states that births prior to 1930 take 8 additional weeks to process, so you should be able to get your father's birth certificate from them. If they can't process your request, then you...

Leaving any question unanswered or blank, unless instructed to, will get your application returned. For any follow-up questions where you are instructed to skip because your initial answer is "No", it is highly advised that you write "N/A" (for non-applicable) in their corresponding spaces...

From what I've read, the biggest obstacle for a foreigner in obtaining a study permit is proving to the CIC that he/she would be able to support him/herself while in Canada because he/she would not be allowed to work while on a study permit. So unless he/she got someone to take him/her in, the...

If you're asking if a foreigner outside Canada can enroll in a school inside Canada, I think he/she would need to be accepted by the school before being able to apply for a study permit, which has its own specific set of criteria aside from acceptance by the school. Start here for more...

Assuming the child's other parent is a Canadian citizen when he/she was born, here is the website for information on urgent processing: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/urgent-proof.asp.

I'm guessing that you and your wife were "birth tourists" in the US, so the real question is if you want your son to be a dual citizen. As a US citizen, he will have to pay taxes to the US government whenever and wherever he starts earning an income, and he will have to register for the...

If the initial officer reviewing your application feels that you might not have met all of the guidelines but could still be eligible, then he/she sends it to Program Support for a more in-depth review. Think of it as when you call your cable company because your internet is down, and after the...

I just called the IRCC and was told that my application was sent to Program Support the same day processing started, and that I should ignore the 5-month processing timeframe:eek:. They were supposed to have sent me an e-mail explaining the delay too. Oh well, at least I know hasn't been lost...

Without any confirmation service from the post office or courier, you'll just have to wait until they send you an Acknowledgment of Receipt with your Unique Client Identification number, which usually takes a month from the day that your application was delivered to the Sydney processing center...

I googled the company name, and the websites they posted their employment notices are full of grammar errors and many unnecessary positions for a small dairy farm; that should be in itself a red flag that it might not be genuine. Also, if a company is actively seeking employees, they should...

Actually, my mother was naturalized when she was 13. If they still follow that checklist to the letter, under section 4 Perfection, there is no option for a parent's naturalization certificate, so my application probably got sent to Program Support for further scrutiny. If they have further...

My application has been in "in process" status since July 20. That seems to be the current pattern if your parent is Canadian-born, so you'll probably get yours on October 6. Meanwhile, I will still be losing my mind until December 20 when I can make a formal request, but I'm sure by then they...

I bet you'll get yours before me, too...:D

OK, seeing you guys getting your applications processed and approved within a month is making me very anxious, since mine has be in "In Process" status for over a month since July 20. The only thing different that I did was send a certified copy of a letter notorized by the Bank of Canada that...
