My Mother Was a Canadian Citizen

[Rexrm]

Hello/bonjour!

I am a US citizen, born and raised in the US. My late mother was a naturalized Canadian citizen, originally from Indonesia. She passed away in 2015. I am soon to turn 21 and would like to apply for citizenship to Canada.

However, I have found no answer to my question on any website. I haven't found any specific forms to pursue on the CIC website, and every CIC/IRCC number that I have tried to contact has denied my call because I am in the US.
I wrote an email to question@cic.gc.ca and they have yet to respond. Can anyone help me?

Thank you kindly!

Hi

Did your mother become a naturalized Canadian before or after you were born?

She became a naturalized Canadian citizen long before my birth.

You are a Canadian citizen. Follow the link Rob provided to apply for your Certificate of Citizenship. It can take around 5-6 months to receive the certificate.

Here is an active thread with others going through the same process http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/obtaining-certificate-of-citizenship-by-descent.490056/page-5.

You two have been more helpful than any other resource I've found online! Thank you so much.
