Born in india. Applied on 21 Feb 2025 as urgent processing but no response after AOR. What was your timeline?

If I remember correctly, it was one week for me.

Good for you. May be they did not consider my application for urgent processing and doing regular process.

Hello,

I’m going through the same process and have some questions. What did you here?



5. Select 2 pieces of identification (ID) that you'll provide. If applying for your child(ren), provide their IDs (not yours). (required)
Both IDs must show the applicant's name and date of birth. 1 must have a photo on it.

Option 1: Passport or official travel document
Option 2: Driver's license (if applying for a child under 18, upload their driver's license)
Option 3: Canadian health card
Option 4: Government-issued ID (for example: hospital card, school records, or health insurance card)
Option 5: Other government-issued ID. Select if applying for a child with only 1 ID. Upload a letter explaining why the child only has 1 ID in the next step.

My son was born in Africa 2 months ago. The only document i have is a birth certificate from Uganda. On the application under personal identification i have to select two options despite not having a passport or government id for my son.

Don't you have any other ID provided by your Govt.? I had one and we did apply for that ID and I still added an explanation letter.

You can try for the other ID or select Option 5 and write an explanation letter.

Hi, no update and status still shows In Progress. Looks like they are not even checking the files.
