I certainly hope this is the case. My wife is a Polish National (visa-exempt) and we have a child together (who is already a Canadian citizen as we applied for her proof of citizenship).MilesAway said:
I got confirmation on my daughter's proof of citizenship on the same day.mia_79 said:Hello everyone,
I must stay that this community helped me a lot with my application and I'm glad its available to share all experiences
We're currently going on month 6 since submission of our application in Warsaw, hoping a decision will come soon.
Although I must add on a separate note that my daughters proof of citizenship is taking longer than expected. She received confirmation back on Dec 7th of 2015 and the diplomatic mail still hasn't arrived.. i surely hope our applications are at the embassy already.
Anyhow, best of luck to everyone
6-8 months if everything is as it should be seems to be the trend, but each case is specific.annakon89 said:
officially PR
They told me 2-3 weeks... I suppose that I did ask for it urgently... But still :/ I can't imagine having to wait this longmia_79 said:Congrats Owl29!
Hope mine will be next
On my side topic, i called the embassy and they told me that diplomatic mail can sometimes take up to 5 months in case of proof of citizenship.. how crazy is that in this day and age.
Cheers!
It will go quick. I really believe Warsaw is quite quick VO.mia_79 said:Congrats Owl29!

It is most unreliable program I seen 
I typed this for someone else about a month ago, so just copy and pasting it for your benefit:Aman_Khatra said:Flying to Canada day after tomorrow. Made a list of jewelry that will be with me at the time of landing and a separate list (with photos) of jewelry that I will bring in later...I even started to make list of the stuff I`m going to carry with me, but not sure if I need to describe everything....
Share your experience of landing friends
We filled our declaration together too, but for us it was no issuesLvartano said:I typed this for someone else about a month ago, so just copy and pasting it for your benefit:
"So my wife arrived in Canada last November and i was accompanying her. This was our experience.
Initially they told us on the plane to fill out one declaration card since we will be living in the same residence. During the customs clearance I was told that was wrong since we have different status'... I am a citizen and she was landing with a PR status. When we cleared the customs part, they told us to go to this room to speak to an immigration office. She was very friendly and pretty much reviewed and completed the COPR paper. Nothing to worry about since they don't really ask too many complicated or any difficult questions. Actually i was asking most of the questions LOL We left to grab our luggage and during the exit, they didn't check any of our belongings. They just told us to exit without going through any further checks. Having said that I had created a very very detailed list of her articles, clothing, other belonging etc. I took a picture of all her valuables such as wedding band, engagement ring, other expensive jewelry's, watches, electronics etc. However, they didn't check any of those lists created. I guess it's up to you how detailed you want it to be. Just enough for them not to question further. The documents, like diploma, work reference is not necessary during landing, however I'm sure you will need it when you are looking for a job or want to go to school. Try to get as much notarized and translated documentation ready in case it's required down the road during further education or employment.
Everyone's situation is different but I think in general they are very nice and welcoming.
Oh one more thing if your flight is on a weekday, try to get the SIN number at the airport as well. Just ask the immigration office where to do it. It'll save some time later on where you have go to a Service Canada office to complete that task. It's quick. 15 minutes max. they don't give you a card anymore, so it's just a piece of paper with a number on it. That's it.
I think I've covered all important events, if you have any questions, just ask."
even if I was landing and my husband is citizen. It just shows that every experience is different. they didn't care how detailed the list was, but if you have goods to follow, then it is important to have detailed list. For me I was just bringing one suitcase and didn't have goods to follow.
