It's been pretty smooth for me so far. I'm checking far too often, but I'm eager to see their decision. Three Canadian grandparents, entire family tree runs back through Canada, lineage to Quebec and Acadia for hundreds of years, but born in the States to an unwed Canadian mother in the late 1960s. I was 20 years old before a spent a year of my life outside of Canada. Fingers crossed. Here are my status updates so far:

1. We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on April 8, 2019.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on May 24, 2019.
3. We started processing your application on July 16, 2019.

A letter is arriving from the Canadian govt today, but my status on the website is still listed as "In Process" so I don't know if they've sent me a request for additional materials maybe?

 

[Rullence]

Let us know once u receive the letter.

I received it. A couple years ago, I applied with photos taken by an American passport photographer. Canadian govt rejected them. I reapplied this year. I paid last time, and I paid this time, not knowing better. The Canadian govt was honest, and sent my first payment back. So, someone is definitely on the ball. All the letter was was a check for my extra fee. Still "in process" on my application.

Good thing, i requested for GCMS notes. In the notes, reads the following:

1. They sent correspondence about notice of delay on march 22, 2019.
*Weird coz ecas still shows as AOR. Btw, i never received this correspondence

2. I am required to undergo DNA testing.
*it was the embassy that recommended the testing.

Timeline:
Submitted the application to the Canadian Embassy in Manila on November 28, 2019.

1. Application received in Sydney on December 18 2018
2. Acknowledgment of Receipt on January 28, 2019
3. Correspondence sent on March 22, 2019, *allegedly* sent but not received

I sent the webform to IRCC and to the Embassy to schedule the DNA testing asap.

Will keep you posted on their feedback.

Hey I went through the same procedure they asked me to take a DNA test it took abou

Check out my timeline, I went through name change process earlier this year.

 

[mnlcva8891]

Will be starting this process all over again for my daughter, she was born outside of Canada, last week and would need her proof of citizenship.
I guess this is sort of different from my name change application that I submitted earlier this year.

I will post back my timeline once I start.

NEW TODAY-

I'm in limbo... it's official. Anyone know how long I can expect? Is it really years like some have suggested?
