Thanks for your opinion and I fully respect it.. I don't want to drag it further (I've already edited by post about the trucker to avoid any further discussion about politics in this forum). Truckers protesting infront of the parliament building (where the decision makers work) is different than...

I am sure every office does that.. Once they print the certificate, they need to enter the number in another system/database. That's what is missing in my case. They person who printed the certificates, didn't enter them in the system

Not yet. Passport office called me again today that they still cannot see the certificate info. They are following up with me (this is the 3rd time they called). Look how every other federal office is working. It is only IRCC who is UNABLE to work. I sent emails to 2 directors who works at the...

You are right.. Kent and Queen st is where the office is located.. And the live cam shows that truckers are still there. I guess the employees won't be back to work until at least next week.

Anyone received certificate recently from Ottawa? I am curious If they started going to work? It looks like Queens st is no longer occupied by the truckers. But they could use this excuse for a few days more since some roads around their building are still blocked. EDIT: Queen st is still...

Agree.. They don't give a damn about Ford or whoever. They used COVID excuse for 2 years, then Afghanistan excuse for 6 months (still ongoing), trucker's excuse will continue as long as there is a truck on their street making them feel unsafe to go to work. Man, I will learn French and apply...

Make sure you ask for urgent processing.. And provide evidence if you can arrange. You will have a Q&A session at the end of the ceremony where you can ask questions. Maybe you can ask a question like "how to reach out to you guys if my certificate is delayed beyond the normal timeline, you guys...

Is the status showing CLOSED or COMPLETE in your tracker? Seems Calgary is as bad as Ottawa. I wish I was in Mississauga or Toronto.

Yes, and I am sure I checked that box.. I was still not a registered voter until I uploaded my drivers license.

Thank you so much man for the shortcut keystrokes.. It helped a lot. I was able to get to an agent after 3 attempts (wait time was 28 mins). The agent checked the system and said "your certificates are not printed yet". I said "I have the certificates with me since 25 days and I applied for...

Correct. ElectionsCanada shows I am registered to vote.. I wonder how do they approve the registration (or how do they know if I am a citizen or not) because the tracker status is still In-Progress. PassportsCanada is unable to verify. Either they look into a different system, or they just...

Same for me.. I had to upload the driver's license (only) and then few mins later I received an email that the voting registration is complete. But I know few people who didn't need to upload anything.. They were already registered voters when they checked in elections.ca I am wondering if this...

Congrats!!! When you registered to vote, did you have to upload an picture of ID to get the registration done? or it showed "You are registered to vote" once you searched by name and address?

Send emails to the minister.. Multiple escalations about a specific office can help. As I mentioned earlier, I got a response from minister's office after 25 days. They assigned someone to check on my file and respond to me.

Even the "Passports Canada" lady who called me today asked me to reach out to my MP (when I told her if she has any better idea how to reach IRCC) as MPs have backdoor access to push IRCC or get info. She said it happens sometimes when the person apply for passport within 1-2 days of oath. For...

The mental stress I am having in the last 3 months (from oath to now) is more than I have had in last the 2.5 years (from citizenship application to oath). I believe in God and I am sure the person responsible for this will feel the pain someday.

Thanks very helpful man.. Thank you.. I just tried and it says office is closed.. I will start this tomorrow morning.

@CaBeaver have you received your certificate?

I don't think that's always the case. I received my certificates a month ago but the tracker is still showing "In-Progress" as of today.. And I have another bigger problem lol

I don't know what to say about Ottawa office. I got my certificate after 77 days (oath on Oct 23, 2021 and certificate received on Jan 13, 2022) after multiple emails sent to Ottawa Office and an escalation to minister Sean Fraser (and receiving a reply from minister's office that my...
