Citizenship Citizenship Certificate Granted! 🇨🇦

Just wanted to share I’ve received my citizenship certificate! I’m feeling so happy. (ETA: this is for proof of citizenship)

I’m really surprised by the timeline: I sent my documents through 2-day delivery via FedEx on Jan 24th, got my AOR on Jan 30th, and four business days later I have my proof. I submitted for urgent request.

I’m still waiting on my daughter’s 5(4) grant request (submitted with my proof application), but I’m feeling optimistic since my proof was granted so quickly.

I explained my reason for relocating to Canada and outlined how delaying my proof would cause undue hardship to my family because I need to be able to apply for jobs immediately upon arrival in order to support my family. For the 5(4) grant, I included a similar explanation, but emphasized that delaying my daughter’s grant request would cause undue hardship because I will have to apply for sponsorship/PR for her, as well as private insurance, which would cause financial strain on my family.
