    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    Copied exactly as it appears in ECAS: "We sent your citizenship certificate on March 19, 2020" I applied for Citizenship by descent in September 2018. I live in NYC subburb and mailed my application to Sydney.

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    Based only on my own experience: Yes ECAS will show a date that the certificate was mailed but it in my case, it's not real. My ECAS said it was mailed March 19th and it was postmarked April 9th ( and I question the April 9th date because it arrived on May 4th)

    My status went to In Processing, Decision Made and then finally Complete and I only found out because I checked Ecas daily. I still check it every now and then to see if it indicates whether the 2nd certificate is mailed. Honestly, I don't if or when a 2nd certificate will show up and I'm...

    Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Enquiry WebForm Question

    When you fill out the webform, make sure you enter your name as it appears on your passport. I had my webform returned because I left off my middle name, which is on my passport.

    IRCC responded to webform inquiry I sent last week. It is now 6 weeks since my Certificate was mailed from Sydney and IRCC said to submit a Solemn Declaration form. I faxed the form this morning. What bothers me most is what happened to the envelope they sent via Canada Post/USPS. From what...

    I believe the 4 month time frame is when the Certificate is mailed to a Canadian Embassy. I live in NYC vicinity and mail from Sydney is usually less than 8 business days.

    This morning I am convinced that the envelope containing my Certificate either hasn't left Sydney (status shows that it was mailed on March 19th) or it was seriously delayed before leaving Sydney. Only time will tell.

    Thanks, Hawk :) I read through all the postings in that thread. There was another poster who waited over a month to get his certificate in the US. I will post when it arrives or when I have to request IRCC to resend.
