Proof of citizenship timeline

[Janjoun]

Hi sselincourt, wondering if you've had any updates since May or have you received citizenship already since it's urgent processing? Thanks!

He was approved on May the 8th and received the certificate a while after (not specified)

Here is my timeline. I applied for my newborn daughter's proof of citizenship from outside Canada.

Application received in embassy: 28 June.
Application received by IRCC: 23 July
AOR: 15 August

Still waiting for application to become in process. Timelines for proof of citizenship are rather scarce, but I believe that it should become in process around next week hopefully, as it seems IRCC is currently starting to process applications received up to mid-july based on Grant of citizenship timelines on this post. (The timeline is very different once it starts processing, but I believe it can be a good reference to estimate when the application becomes In process)

Thanks Janjoun! I think the certificate he mentioned was just a proof of citizenship application for his school so I was wondering if his urgent request was indeed approved and how long the process took.

Thanks for sharing your daugther's timeline! Hope her case will be in process very soon!

AOR Received: August 21,2018

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my timeline in case it was helpful to anyone. I'm U.S. born (1979) to a Canadian-born mother who was born in Ontario (1949). She did eventually naturalize in the U.S. before I was born but I guess that was of no ultimate consequence after the law change over the past two decades. Also, my mother's birth certificate I provided with my application was brand new, issued by Ontario this summer. It was very high-tech looking, with holograms and barcodes on it. I gather this might have sped up my process because it may have been easier to verify.

1. We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on July 18, 2018.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 14, 2018.
3. We sent your citizenship certificate on September 27, 2018 to: [my address in the U.S.].

There was no interim "processing" status in between (2) and (3).

I haven't received my cert in the mail yet but expect to any day.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey!
I actually have had the certificate in my possession for a little while now. My timeline is likely going to be different from yours, since I applied for urgent processing and it appears that it was approved (starting uni in Canada this September which likely helped). Nonetheless, here's my timeline:

February 14: Mailed out form
February 23: IRCC received my form
April 13: Letter of correspondence received
April 19: Request for urgent processing submitted
May 8: Processing began
May 8: Certificate was mailed out

Hope this helps somewhat!

Hey sselincourt, thank you for sharing this! Did you submit your application to the Canadian Embassy in the US or directly to Canada's processing centre in Sydney, NS?

Hi there -
I sent my application overnight UPS service to Sydney, NS.

 

[Rullence]

Submitted my application through the Canadian Embassy in Manila - 28 November 2018

Received an Email UCI & Application Number - 28 January 2019

Not sure though how long it stayed in the Embassy before they had it couriered to Nova Scotia.

 

[Rullence]

Is it already called an AOR if CIC sent an email with UCI and application number?

 

[Triol80t]

Dear All, Please I need your assistance. I received AOR on 15 August. I am a first generation born abroad in 1980. I am wondering if this application should take so long a time. I don't know if I should contact IRCC via the webform or still wait. I would appreciate your response. Regard

1. Did you change ur name or birthdate?
2. Were the docs submitted in your application in english? Were they all clear and easy to be read?
3. Did you apply as minor? Or submitted application as group with minor?
4. Have you received any correspondence that your application was sent to Program support Unit?

I am also a 1st gen born. My father was naturalized in 1980. I was born in 1986.

Sumitted my application through the philippine embassy on nov 28 2018. Per CIC site, Application received on dec 18 2018. They acknowledged receipt on Jan 28 2019.

This is rather scary.
