Proof of citizenship

There's no guaranteed timeline. The standard processing time for a non-urgent application is five months (80% of applications are processed within 5 months). Then if you apply outside the US or Canada via an embassy, you have to add 3-4 months to that per the IRCC/CIC site.
If the application is processed normally then it's usually 8-9 months, but if the application goes to program support for additional processing, there is no guarantee of how long it will take and it will take longer.

There's not a standard or guaranteed time to go from AOR to in process or for the decision to be made. For me, it was about a month (30 days / 22 business days) this past summer. Other people here (like Going through) have been waiting since November 3rd and still no update since the acknowledgement of receipt. I assume you're using either your UCI or your application number (listed on your AOR) to check the status of your application regularly with the online tool:

For now, it's hold tight. You can reach out and request urgent processing if you meet the criteria for such:

The thread is kinda old. But i think jan 2018 erika received her child's citizenship certificate.
I also applied from the philippines @SuzyB0428 on nov 28 2018. Received in Nova scotia on dec 18 2018. AOR dated Jan 28 2019. No update yet.
Are you are applying for yourself or for your kid?

Hi Im applying for my kid who was born in the Philippines. We submitted it way back January 2018 and per the rep who answered my email, she said it is still in process as of March 2019. It's more than a year already. We applied through Canadian Embassy in the Philippines
Did CIC update your ECAS from AOR to In process? Or did u just learn the updated status solely from the agent u spoke with?
I have this theory that applicants under 18 yo are put to a file by the immigration official to prolong the process given the benefits such allowances these applicants would be eligible to.

That's correct. Do you know anyone who experienced the same thing and how long did it take for them to get the certificate?
No they did not say it went to program support. Rep said I can assure you the application is still in process
