Is this expected?

I sent off for proof of Citizenship for my three kids. On February 4th I got a letter from the Consulate General of Canada (Seattle).

Basically it states that they forwarded the documents to Nova Scotia and we could expect 10 months for processing. I have not received anything else back, like a receipt notice from Nova Scotia. I tried tracking with the Ref number on the letter (no good) and the number on the receipt(Original form IMM 5401). The website just states:

We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:

•Please be sure the information you entered is correct and then try again.
•This service is only available to clients with applications in process. We may have received your application but not yet begun processing it. The following link may help you determine if your application is being processed: Application Processing Times
•At this time, you may use this on-line service to view the status of your application ONLY if you have:•sponsored a member of the family class;
•applied for permanent residence from within or outside Canada;
•applied for a permanent resident card (replacement or renewal);
•applied for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship);
•applied for Canadian citizenship for a person adopted by a Canadian citizen (on or after January 1, 1947);
•applied for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship);
•applied to renounce Canadian citizenship; or
•applied to resume Canadian citizenship.

I assume this means they have the documents and have not begun processing.

Just as Hong Kong contacted me directly, I think Seattle will contact you soon.
