    I'm pretty sure they just looked at the tracking info on the carrier's website, saw it was delivered, and told you it's (probably) in their system waiting to be opened. I really doubt they sent someone to sift through thousands of envelopes to find your tracking number on it...they also...

    Why fingerprint requested

    For me, it was because my name (Arab) was similar enough to another name on a watchlist. I know this because one of the times I asked for GCMS notes, they (mistakenly) attached an email chain with unredacted names of IRCC officers flagging me for fingerprints because of a "possible name match"...

    So I just called IRCC and they said they're still opening envelopes from November 2020, so for people like me who applied in Jan 2021, we probably are looking at an AOR date of Feb 2022.

    Passport scanning machine at the airport never works with my Canadian passport

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of at the end of my rope with this issue. I got my Canadian passport in 2018. Since then, every time I try to enter the country using the passport scanning machines, I always encounter problems. Like everyone else, I insert my customs form into the machine, I then scan my...

    Thanks for sharing. This is good to have but the timeline is just straight up distressing...I might be without a Citizenship Certificate for another year. What happens if I lose my passport while I'm abroad? I'm basically done for...can't even return to the country with my native passport...

    Is there anyone who sent in an application this year who got AOR?

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    I just want my damn AOR...they can take their 15 months all they want, but it's not too much to ask for an ASAP confirmation that my precious citizenship certificate hasn't been lost in the IRCC blackhole and is in fact in their system...

    Funny thing is...Passport Canada don't require the updated name on the citizenship certificate anymore...just the certificate of name change, so this was a complete waste of time and money (for me at least). That said, I'm still reluctant to change the name on my passport because what if IRCC...

    So the key thing here is: Don't lose your passport because the worst case scenario is: You wait 12-15 months before realizing your certificate might've been lost in the mail, send in another application to replace the lost certificate, wait 15 months for that, so that's at least 2.5 years before...

    So we're talking about minimum 9 months just for AOR at current processing rates, yes?

    Sent in my application in-country back in January 2021, but by the looks of these timelines, I'm in it for the very long haul! Like the last guy said, don't bother with the webform. If you didn't get AOR, the answer is always going to be "We verified the information you provided and can confirm...
