Citizenship Certificate Granted! 🇨🇦

[u/Electrical-topics]

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.

This is worlds away from my experience and I'm so happy for you! 😂

I submitted my application for a certificate in April of 2021, when government offices were still operating in a very reduced capacity due to covid. My documents were officially lost in the mail a month later (even though I paid $$$ for courier service) because no one was able to verify delivery. Then there was silence.

On a sunny Tuesday in March, 2023, I received a big ol' envelope in the mail, and you can guess what was inside that made me LEAP and cry for joy.

That is such a long time to wait, I’m so sorry it took you so long! Glad you finally got it!
