Has it come yet??? I just got my passport in the mail yesterday!! I can't believe the process is over for me ... what can I obsess over now?? :)

Go ahead and call. What's the worst they can say other than "it's still in process"? Maybe you'll get someone extra nice who is willing to give you some details!! Good luck, though, it would absolutely be driving me crazy too.

That's great!! In my own experience, where it shows the status (ex In Process) is where you can really track it. Mine changed from "In Process" to "Complete" on the day it was mailed (which was about 3 weeks after it said it was mailed). So watch for that status change.

Yep that's the number I called. I read somewhere that the system knows if you're calling from the USA and it won't work but if you put *67 in front it makes it private and it can't tell where you're calling from. But the number above from Alphazip worked for me without *67. Interestingly once...

Alright my certificate arrived today!!!! Final timeline: Mailed from USA: 8 May 2017 Delivered to Nova Scotia: 15 May 2017 Received AOR: 9 June 2017 Application approved: 6 July 2017 Certificate mailed from CIC: 26 July 2017 Arrived in mail to Texas: 3 August 2017 Now time to apply for a...

Thanks for the recommendation! I enrolled in Informed Delivery - I've never heard of it.

Update: I was able to call to the CIC today. They said that there is an issue with the website showing mailing times early. My application was approved on July 6 and the documents were requested to be created, but it wasn't actually mailed until July 26 - which was only a week ago today. So I'm...

So it says on the website that my certificate was sent on July 6, 2017. Today marks 3 weeks to the day and I still haven't received anything in the mail. Does anybody have any experience with mail from CIC to USA? Just wondering when I should formally inquire. Thoughts?

Mine took nearly a month between it being received and receiving an acknowledgment. 16 business days to be exact. You should get yours soon, hopefully! (Below copied from earlier post) Mailed from USA: 8 May 2917 Delivered to Nova Scotia: 15 May 2017 Received AOR: 9 June 2017

I see that too... I think that applies outside of Canada and USA. I called the Embassy in Dallas to ask and they said they do absolutely nothing with citizenship and it's all through mail with the CIC. I guess the takeaway is if you dealt with the embassy to apply, the certificate will be sent...

Andrew, if you log into check my status, does it still show the status as "In Process", even though when you click it, it says the certificate has been sent?

Mine shows it's from: Client-update-mis-a-jour@cic.gc.ca My email account showed the sender's name to be Do Not Reply - Ne Pas Repondre. Not sure about a subsequent failed attempt... I would hope they'd let you know! :-/

Hey! It actually hasn't arrived yet. Congrats that your son's has! Did you apply from Canada?? I'm thinking it's taking a long time due to international shipping? Not too worried yet but hoping it shows up soon.

Hey andrewhl... not sure about shipping times. I've been out of the country for two weeks but get back tomorrow and I'm hoping the certificate is there waiting for me. Surely yours will come soon!

My application would be very similar to yours as only my father's mattered for my citizenship application - my mother was born in the US and stayed there her whole life. So for her section I answered as follows: How did this parent obtain citizenship: N/A Citizenship certificate No.: N/A On...
