I have applied for a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship (Proof of Citizenship) and my application was received by CIC Sydney on June 15. I waited for several weeks to get the acknowledgment letter and then on the advice of a CIC call Center Agent, (who told me that most likely my application...

Thank you for your response. I am afraid there is nothing else to do but wait. What I am mostly concerned about is the scenario that they have found something wrong with the application and or/and the supporting documents and I will have to start all over again.

On June 12th I sent my application for Proof of Citizenship under the new provisions (Bill C24) granting me for the first time Canadian citizenship. According to Canada Post tracking it was received by CIC on June 15th. I have not heard from them since.(No letter of aknowledgement of receipt...

Many thanks.

I sent my application for proof of citizenship on June 12th and according to Canada Post was received by CIC on June 15th. I have not yet received a letter of Acknowledgment and I have been trying to find out something on-line through the Client Application Status tool using the Payment of Fees...

I do not understand your question. The 'Lost Canadians' provisions of Bill C24 came into effect on June 11th. Even with urgent processing it is highly unlikely that anyone could get proof of citizenship within 10 days of the law coming into effect. Did you, besides the AOR, receive proof of...

Many thanks. Yes indeed I do have a signed letter and a file number and I will contact them as soon as I receive a letter acknowledging my new application.

In 2007 I submitted an application for Citizenship ( born abroad, in wedlock, before 1/1/ 1947 to a Canadian mother). After a long delay- due to the pending enactment of the 2009 law amending the Citizenship Act- my application was rejected. The Citizenship Officer signing the letter did not...

As a follow up to my last post I want to bring to the attention of the members of this thread that according a CIC Press Release that can be found in its official web site, the REVOCATION PROVISIONS of the SCCA (Bill C24) came into effect TODAY.

I suggest that we return to the main theme of this thread i.e. effective date of Bill C24. It seems to me that one reason for the delay of the implementation of most of Bill C24 (past the originally quoted June 19th date) is the express commitment of CIC that the new provisions for revocation of...

Thank you very much Dpenabill. I think it is very useful.

I am not a lawyer and I did not attend the CBA Conference so I do not know if the issue was raised by a participant. I thought it would be self evident that lawyers working with PR/Perspective citizens would grasp the opportunity to raise the issue either to the Minister or to CIC officials...

It does not seem to be any credible information concerning a specific statement by Chris Alexander. However issues of Citizenship and in particular revisions introduced by Bill C24 are in tomorrow's agenda of the CBA Conference at a panel tthat will meet between 2.15 and 3.30. Member of this...

I believe you have made your points quite clear. No need to repeat yourself.

Could someone confirm that the video where Minister Alexander changes his statement concerning the implementation of Bill C24 from "June" το "Summer" is indeed new?

I asked exactly this question and the answer was that if I submit an application now it will be decided under the current law and it will be rejected. They will not keep it in file and examine it after June 19th 2015 in the light of Bill C24 who, for the first time, gives me the right to...

I called CIC today and asked for the date that Bill C24 Lost Canadians provisions related to my case (born abroad before 1947 to a Canadian mother and non-Canadian father) will come into effect. After a very long wait I got the answer that they will become effective on June 19th 2015. I...

Many thanks for your advice. I will certainly follow it.

Thanks for your response. Why make us wait indeed? The call agents at CIC either don't know, or won't tell you any definitive date. At least they could make a formal announcement and put it up on the site.. Well, good luck with the 5.4 if you choose to go that way. I think I'll wait for for...
