Posted Citizenship application to the wrong dept

[Nino123]

Hi everyone,

I just realized I mailed my citizenship application to the wrong department. It was sent to the PR dept rather than the adult grant. The both have the same address and post codes but different department.

I mailed my application from outside Canada.

Has anyone ever experienced this?
I persume this will be delaying my confirmation and AOR.

I have proof of signature by Shawn on Sept 13. Would my application still be treated?

I am beginning to worry.

Anyone experienced such?

While one would hope they'd be able to drop it off to the other department, I wouldn't be amazed if it was returned.

If you've posted this around September I'd have suggesting calling them and maybe just sending it again to the right department unless the agent suggested something else. But given you are 81 days in now and AOR is around that mark I think you should just wait and hope that you get an AoR and not the package back.

Note that while the Aug/Sept average for AoR is 83/79 days the max is over 100 (possibly more based on some not yet received). On that basis I'd wait until January and then give them a call if still not heard anything.

Thank you. I will keep waiting
