I'm shaking in excitement. After contacting an MP last month and being told my application could take 24 months, because I was moved to Program Support unit. After emailing the Minister of Immigration, and then after digging deep and finding internal numbers to CPC-Sydney, and directly speaking with the Director and emailing him my information upon his request on the 10th of October. I can happily say that perseverance pays off if you do it right! Today I received this email:
"This is in reply to your e-mail of October 7, 2014, addressed to Mr. Chris Alexander, Canada's Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, concerning your application for a citizenship certificate.
We realize that you are looking forward to obtaining a citizen certificate. Please be assured that the Department makes every effort to deal with the applications we receive in the most efficient and effective way. However, the many steps involved in processing some applications, coupled with the volume of applications, sometimes make it difficult to conclude cases in as timely a manner as we would like.
Our records confirm that your application was referred to the Program Support (PS) Unit at the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Sydney for review on September 9, 2014. Applications are typically sent to the PS Unit when CPC officials need additional information from applicants or when the documents provided by the applicants need further verification. A referral to the PS Unit means the case is no longer a straightforward one and will in most situations lead to delays in processing. In such cases, a letter is usually sent out to the client indicating that the application will be delayed.
Our records further show that your application was approved on October 14, 2014. A citizenship certificate was issued and sent to you on October 16, 2014. Please allow five to seven days for delivery.
We hope that this information is of assistance."
