    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Yes sireee Bob, that's it exactly! If you were to call the CIC call centre and tell the agents that your application is with PSU they'll tell you that they can't take any action unless 24 months have passed since they received your application and you haven't heard from them by then. Two...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Really?? You're throwing a fit because your status hasn't changed since January 28, 2019. My application was received by them on October 2, 2017 and forwarded to PSU in November 2017; that's right 2017, and there's been no change in my status since then. Online E-CAS still says...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    No need to ask stupid questions. Does he want to know how may tattoos are in my ass too? What does that have to do with the price of coffee in Brazil? My nationality (by which I assume he means the nationality I had before getting naturalized as a Canadian) is nobody's business. Problem...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    I just gave you my timeline; read my last post that you quoted. It's been one year since I applied. Are you serious?? We're talking about applicants who are Canadian citizens, applying for proof of their citizenship, so nationality should be obvious. Any additional nationality I might...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Oh really? You're throwing a fit because you've had to wait five months. It's been almost a year since I sent my application and no word yet. My ECAS status doesn't say IN PROCESS either, just APPLICATION RECEIVED. Apparently, an e-mail letter was sent to me, notifying me that my case got...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    HUH? Indeed, There is no PSU abbreviation at the title of this thread; it clearly says Program Support Unit so I'm not sure where the whole PSU guessing game is coming from. But you go ahead and indulge if you have nothing better to do. Annoying is as annoying does, absolutely!

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    This is getting really annoying. The topic of this post is not just Proof of Citizenship, but rather those specific cases that are sent to Program Support Unit. One would think that if you read the title of the post you'd get that much, but no you can't count on the random forum participant...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Guate, Any updates from you? Your case is very similar to mine so I'm watching it to try and figure out how long they might take to get to my file. Thanks.

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Keep us updated brother. Knowing when your file moves can help me figure out when I can expect some action on my file. They haven't asked for anything else from me either and no updates whatsoever on the E-CAS online. Last time I called the IRCC call centre they said PSU can take up to 24...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    My case from October of last year is still sitting at the Program Support Unit. E-CAS status shows nothing beyond Application Received. Any update from anybody else?

    Spends $29.99 & Citizenship exam pass 100%

    I didn't use any outside websites. Just read the free study guide that's provided by IRCC in their official website. Read it a few times from start to end. Wrote down key facts from it and read those over and over too, at work during lunch breaks.

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    I was naturalized in Canada, and yes, I received a certificate of naturalization. Then I had to be away from my apartment for some time and in that time my certificate got stolen. This is the reason my case got sent to the Program Support Unit, because I said in my application that the original...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    I'm not saying they shouldn't get to the bottom of whatever they're after. But it's absurd that they provide no time frame for doing this, while they promise a processing time of 6 months for immigration applications of foreign nationals. It's not as if they've contacted me for any further...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    I'm not going to let this turn into endless ad hominem argument. My point was there are things I can do to stir up the process, including but not limited to demonstration of the need for urgent travel. Like I said, I didn't get this far by getting my applications denied, and i sure as hell don't...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Guate Another thing I told the call center agent is that I could get my MP's office involved in inquiring about the unreasonably long processing time by getting in touch with the Immigration Minister. It does not make sense that IRCC promises foreign nationals a six-month processing time for...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    I can present one of a myriad reasons for urgent processing, my parents being terminally sick and needing urgent care etc etc, you name it. Can they deny the request? Yes they can; anything CAN happen. As for your statement that my request WILL be denied, unless you are the officer adjudicating...

    Proof of Citizenship – Program Support Unit

    Guate, I'm in the exact same situation as you. They received my application on October 2, 2017 and sent me an acknowledgement of receipt, with a case number, on October 30, 2017. Since then nothing, and my online ECAS only shows Application Received. I called IRCC Call Centre today and an...

    Any Truck Driver with Luck?

    You were looking in the US and now you're focused on Canada, why exactly? What makes you think this is going to be any easier in Canada? More to the point, why the fixation with Canada? No truck driving activity taking place outside of North America? Plenty of other places in the world to...

    Canada visi visa rejected twice

    Yes. But it's NOT normal for family members to take all the trouble to submit a mountain of documents, and reapply if necessary, just for a visit visa. Someone who does all this would not be a genuine visitor. He smells of somebody who is desperate to flee his country and get into Canada. This...
