Thank you all so much for your responses. The only phone number I'm aware of is the one that is only available from inside Canada. I'm in the U.S. Does anyone know of a number available from outside Canada? Thanks again. This forum has been a godsend.

Hi sorry, but that is what I indicated in my post - that I already received the letter dated 1/24/17 that they have my application. But when I go in and try to determine what the status is, it says what I indicated. They have had my application for 3 weeks and there is no indication that...

I applied for my citizenship certificate and received a letter of receipt from IRCC dated 1/24/17 - 3 weeks ago. To date when I go to check the status of the application at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp?s=3 I get the message: "We were not able to identify you using...

Olay - sorry - I didn't realize. Well, good luck everyone! No matter our method of trying to be Canadian. :D

Hello all - well last second today I received my confirmation letter - receipt of my application for proof of citizenship, sent from the Nova Scotia office. I'm relieved! Of course, now the system won't accept either the username or password I set up, so I've been blocked for 24 hours from...

Hi again, folks, and sorry to be a pain, but ... can anyone say approximately how long it takes for an AOR to be received? I mailed my application for citizenship certificate on Jan 3rd from Toronto while there on vacation. Mailed it regular mail from the post office. I have had neither an...

WOW - thank you so much 0jenifer0 - your response is greatly appreciated!! Seriously. One other question if I may: approximately how long does it take to get that coveted AOR letter? I sent my application from Toronto area, where I was visiting, on Jan 3rd to the Nova Scotia address. No...

Hello, all, Mother born in Quebec in 1928, I was born in the States in '65- mailed in my proof of citizenship application on Jan 3rd. I see that we are allowed to check the status of our application, but we have to be given some sort of number in order to do this. What i'm wondering is, how...

Thanks again. Much appreciated. My plan is for Ontario, which I think is the 3 month wait.

Thank you so much for your response. My other question if I may is ... if I'm granted citizenship (because my mother was born in Canada), seeing as I live down here in the States, do I have to establish Canadian residency before I can apply for work or before I can get any benefits such as...

Thank you so much for your reply. I much appreciate your kindness in taking the time!

Best of luck to you! Yes, Trump's "victory" i.e. the beginning of our apocalypse, has indeed spurred much interest in getting the hell out! Our timing is bad I'm afraid - it appears most people will quickly learn that you can't just "move to Canada" as if it was moving to another state. Ie...

Having a hard time finding this information. My mother was born in Quebec and I'm the first generation born abroad (US), so it looks like it's possible that I will be given a citizenship certificate once my application is reviewed. If/when I get that certificate saying I'm legally a Canadian...

Hi Dennis - I'm in the same boat as you - deceased mother born in Canada (mine in Quebec), and I'm starting the process of applying for Canadian citizenship - I'm American born. I hope to move to Ontario in the next 4-5 years, once my house is paid off. Per this...

Hello all, In reviewing the Application for Citizenship Certificate (Proof of Citizenship) form, I see that it asks if either you or you parents were absent from Canada for more than 1 year before 1977. I'm wondering if anyone knows the significance of this. Why is this being asked? Is it...

WOW alphazip! You are my hero - along with the many people here who have responded to my annoying questions! Thank you all! I have renewed hope about this whole thing! I will certainly proceed with formally applying for proof of my own (hopefully!) citizenship, and will try somehow to forget...

Thanks again. You are very kind and patient. Have a great day.

Thank you again. Much appreciated. You have said twice I would apply for my mother's proof of citizenship. I had thought I would have been applying for proof that I am a citizen by virtue of her. Do I have this backwards? Thanks again.

Thank you so much, Scylla. It's so odd, the renunciation thing. I found amongst my mother's papers last night a booklet about the US citizenship test which certainly contained the oath she presumably had to agree to in some fashion, which included renouncing any former citizenship. May I...
