Ha! Ironically, I just got my acknowledgement via email this morning; a letter of the same in the form of a PDF. So a little over two weeks processing time. Now I suppose the real "wait" will start.

So I got my packet (App for Cert of Canadian Citizenship) off shortly before leaving to China for a week. Specifically; sent on Aug 17th, delivered by USPS (or I guess Canadian Post Service) on Aug 28th. I was away Sept 8th thru Sept 15th (not that, that is too relevant), but am wondering, and...

Got mom's birth certificate via Registry Connect where the latter actually called me to say there was some "odd" things on my mom's birth certificate; namely misspelling of my grandfather's name. A typo (I'm sure) of "Willaim" and middle name spelling of female "Frances" instead of "Francis."...

GoFundMe? Anybody in your community have FF Miles they could barter with you for?

For some reason I missed this part you wrote hawk...I did have the old version! I just got the May 2018 version downloaded now.

Thanks hawk; copied, pasted, and printed for reference down the road.

Ah, interesting hawk, thanks for that. But doesn't in my situation an action taken (thinking grandfather's naturalization) create another action automatically? I'm thinking of some issues vensak seem to raise in my thread.

Incidentally Adam, there is no "long term permanent resident"...you is either PR (Permanent Resident) or not. Longevity as such only comes into play when/if you want to be a US Citizen. Kinda like a prison term; you gotta reach a certain number of years to turn one's PR into US Citizenship.

Hawk seem to enlighten me and/or another poster about some things as far about "renouncing" in some 2009 and 2015 legislation i.e. "renouncing" not being what it may seem in that respect. At least perhaps in my respect. How old are you Adam? Just as a barometer, I'm 58 and married to a dual...

Regardless of one's "additional" citizenship status, the US will still "impose" the filing of income taxes with the same. Some, US Citizens, will renounce their US citizenship for the sole reason that they don't want to be obligated to file and pay a US income tax return. I had that...

Because Alberta uses a third party (agency--Registry Connect in Alberta) to get Certs. One can certainly call the provincial government (I did), but they will direct you to Registry Connect to mail/pay. Like I think I wrote above, I don't know if Ontario uses a third party (agency) or...

I see two opportunities for you. As a side-note, I just sent my application for my mom's (deceased) birth certificate today to Alberta. My mom passed so there's that and I didn't have the estrangement part either (sorry to read about that), so my request/application was pretty straightforward...

Thank again guys for the help. Hawk, I was going to just quote the Act and Section by number, not all the verbiage within the section. If they want/need the verbiage or other information like vensak suggests they might, then I will address that down the road. Need to get info off to Registry...

Ha, all very interesting hawk, thanks for that. My elderly uncle (mom's younger brother by just a year or so--he is 88 now) has said that mom got her naturalization through their dad (I talked to him yesterday and I think has said the same in the past), but I was always thinking, nah, that...

Great summary hawk. My grandfather (Canadian) became a US Citizen in 1940 (my mom was born in 1929). Interestingly, my cousin just remarked (great gal doing all this abroad on her vacation!) that my mom during the 1930 and 1940 US Census was listed as AL or Alien. But, in a ship manifest in...

Okay, cousin came back with Naturalization Index for the County in California for my grandfather (Canadian) with intention date and number, petition date, and certificate date and number--all outlined in the index. My mom was not in that index and therefore must have been naturalized via her...

I appreciate the help and input from everyone. hawk39, is prettty much spot on, EXCEPT for Section 6 of the application. The "you" part of that is referring to me as is much of the checklist (will highlight further vensak) for the app. In Section 6 they are asking if "me/I" have citizenship...

vensak, got the quote thing going! In the instructions for the Application for Canadian Citizenship Cert there are 12 Scenarios as part of the Checklist of Documents for the application. I, as best I can tell, fall into just one category, Scenario 3 which states: If you were born outside of...

Thanks for that ContactFront; I was actually on the phone with them today. I actually go through https://www.registryconnect.ca/ as I'm not a resident of Alberta. That's also how I was instructed to pay when I was on the phone with "Meghan." @vensak; thanks for the additional information...

Can't seem to utilize the quote function here (not sure where it is). Dad didn't have mom's birth certificate, but does have the death cert. So unless my uncle (who has the old house where they all lived and is next door to me--although he lives on another property a couple hours away) has...
