So with no status tracker after more than 10 business days I waited through the phone queue (twice...after a disconnect) 160+ people deep with my father conferenced in (the passport program will only talk to the person the passport is being issued for)... A rep asked him some basic information...

Still no update on my father's application. Status tracker turns up zilch, no emails, credit card not charged. Filled out the form to inquire about status yesterday, will update when I hear back...

None yet. Technically their standard for mail-in applications is 10 business days and this past Friday 2/16 is 9 business days. If I don't have anything in my email by Monday morning I'll reach out to inquire about the status of my father's application. (He's first generation Canadian, I'm the...

Mailed from NY: 27 Jan 2024 Delivered (Gatineau, QC passport program mailing address, actual delivery to Ottawa ON): 5 Feb 2024 Rest TBD Checking reddit, this is apparently incredibly common, passport applications are marked as being delivered to Ottawa and then taken to Gaitneau (which is...

Pretty similar for my brother, except he applied from the US (thus no embassy) Mailed: 5 July 2018 from the US to Sydney NS Received by IRCC: 12 July 2018 AOR: August 8th, 2018 (19 business days/27 days later) And no further updates since (28 business days/18 days later).

I don't know what the exact display is for the US CBP officers at land crossings, but I do know that both citizenships show up when it's loaded up at a NEXUS office on the CBP computer. At YYZ Terminal 1 NEXUS office the officers have a US CBP computer to the left and a Canadian CBSA computer to...

8 U.S.C. § 1185 215(b) states "Except as otherwise provided by the President and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may authorize and prescribe, it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to depart from or enter, or attempt to depart from or enter, the...

The security checkpoint is different, I always use my NEXUS card with CATSA/American TSA and have never had an issue at either YYZ or LGA (domestic or international). Airline staff on Westjet, Delta, United generally don't recognize the NEXUS card as a valid document to board and demand to see...

If you fly Air Canada than flying NEXUS as the document both ways is fine. The kiosk presents it as an option and airline staff recognize it. If you fly Westjet or any US airline, my experience is they will not recognize the travel document on either end (mixed with Westjet, but both sides with...

Correct. Generally when entering either country, you'll use the NEXUS or GE kiosk with your NEXUS card. You may or may not be asked for the passport (YUL = essentially always, YYZ = they generally don't want to talk to you unless you have a checked bag, and they only want to scan your boarding...

Depends, but it's generally going to be basic demographic information. My passport application, made in person at Scarborough: They called my guarantor within 15 minutes of me leaving the passport office and played twenty questions: When did we first meet (how long did he know me). What was our...

Drop-in is definitely possible at YYZ; if you land at T3, you need to take the train over to T1. It's on the departures level (check-in counter level) before security, next to the police station. Be warned: You don't need an appointment for document updates, but expect to spend 10 minutes to an...

Both passports should be registered at a NEXUS office. From there, you can use the NEXUS card at Global Entry kiosks @ Canadian airports with US Customs Preclearance. If you return to the US directly or at a Canadian airport without preclearance, then use your US passport in the kiosk. When I...

NEXUS is run by CBSA, Citizenship is handled by IRCC. They are two different parts of the Canadian government that have communication issues at the best of times, even when they work mutually on things like NAFTA work permits.

That shouldn't apply. I filled out CIT 0001 E for Proof of Canadian Citizenship (as someone who got it by descent via birth to a Canadian parent). Your birth certificate listing both parents must be an original or certified copy, and the proof that your parent is a Canadian Citizen must be a...

That's not *strictly* true, as all of the urgent processing is case-by-case. The one area where you might be able to make a persuasive case is if you are a dual citizen of a country that is visa exempt (and not the US) due to the eTA requirement. They technically say on the page it's effective...

If an application goes to program support, it can take longer than the typical five months. If it's truly going to hold up your daughter from being brought to Canada and able to be reunited with her father, then the father can call and request that they process the proof of citizenship...

If they say that they mailed a certificate rather than correspondence, then that should mean approval.

Congrats. You'll probably see it in about a week. My certificate was mailed on August 30th and I had it in hand on September 9th (10 days total / 7 business days). The delivery standard for Canada Post regular mail sent to the United States is 4-6 business days, but that isn't guaranteed. Also...

. Then it's highly unlikely your daughter's application will be sent to program support. (Never say never, but that's the checklist they use, and if you meet the criteria without hitting "Refer to program support" then there's no reason why it should. Hawk39 caught a lucky break in both...
