I am a Canadian national who lived in Japan for 15+ years, I moved to Canada with my wife (Permanent Resident - Approved in September 2015) and daughter in March of 2015, was told to apply for daughter as a Canadian Citizen (Proof of Citizenship) shortly after arrival and sent application in August of 2015, the expected waiting period was 5 months. I waited and in February as the 5 month period had elapsed we received a letter stating that there would be a delay in processing. No stated timeline, just a delay, no person or office to contact. So I waited until June and called the CIC office, after waiting I was told that if we didn't hear back until the end of August 2017 we should give them a call again. So I contacted my MP and the assistant sent a request for more info on my behalf again and we received the following; The 'application was transferred to a department known as Program Support on November 25, 2015' and it could take up to 24 months to process after this date...
That is it, we could end up waiting 2.5 years for my daughter who is Canadian to receive her Proof of Citizenship. This type of application should take no more than 3 months, I can see 5 months as a far end of processing time, but 2.5 years? Really?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get more information on where my daughters file really is and how I can get answers?
