My son was born outside of Canada on May 2024. I applied online for his Canadian Certificate of Citizenship as I became a Canadian Citizen myself after July 2009.

Application was submitted on the 28th of June 2024. UCI received approx. 5 months later. Its been around 8 months now and there is no movement whatsoever in the application and no response from the IRCC when I contact them through the webform. Normal processing time for online applications is around 3-4 Months as per IRCC portal.

Any idea what the problem could be? Even if I am not eligible to apply online the IRCC would have let us know that by now right? Any guidance please help.

We need to move back to Canada in April this year and if we dont receive the proof of certificate of citizenship by then, can we apply for a temporary passport for my son to travel to Canada?

YOu've posted this exact same question in three different threads. Out of just courtesy for others, post once and wait a bit.
