    Citizenship through my grandfather..

    Sorry that the discussion turned up only academic. While Hawk39 post is totally true, it would have been relevant had you tried to apply for citizenship 10 years ago. Much less so today. As for whether the military service counts or not, this would have been answered best by the IRCC and would...

    Yes, usually you need to wait around one day after getting the mail before being able to check status. Note that you will need around 2 months still before receiving the citizenship certificate if the case is straightforward.

There might be a way for you to apply for her now, but I don't know...

    Send it back ASAP, and you should be fine if the photos were taken in end July or in August. While currently it is taking CIC around 2 months to send AORs, they usually get slower closer to December. So keep that in mind.

    Baby citizenship certificate processing time

    In general waiting time for the certificate to arrive to Paris will be similar to the time it took between when you deposited the application in the embassy and when it was received by IRCC, so I believe around 3 weeks in your case. I'm also waiting for my daughter's and I've got a very similar...
