@Leon, unfortunately no. His last two passports were effectively stolen. About 10 years ago there was a big problem for him with the PR card and his passport. My dad's German passport was about to expire, so he went and renewed it. He handed in his old passport to do this. A few weeks later...

My dad was a German citizen, and moved to Canada when he was 21. He lived in Canada from then, up until his death in February of this year. He never naturalized. Is there any way I can get proof that he was a Permanent Resident? He never had a PR card at all, since he first become a Permanent...

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it went well for you and your son! :D It gives me hope, haha. I managed to get through to someone today on the CIC phone line. She didn't e-mail me anything this time, but asked for the reason I need urgent processing (no job, no healthcare, no school without this...

Ahh, sorry, I wasn't very clear in my post. My Canadian citizenship is proven, but I'm getting German citizenship by descent. I'm German as long as my dad was a German citizen at the time of my birth. Since you automatically lose German citizenship if you naturalize, they want proof that my...

First of all, I hope it's allowed to post this here. My apologies if it isn't! My dad is a German citizen who's lived in Canada for 40 years. He's a permanent resident here, has no interest in naturalizing. It's far too expensive and he has all the rights he needs anyways. I was born in...
