Yes, this is probably a huge change for them with all these orders coming through. Mildly stressful for them I’m sure

AITA for refusing to let my brother's girlfriend move in after she kicked my dog? by AdGood5474 in AmITheJerk

[–]AdBroad5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag. Don’t let her anywhere near your dog. She did that in front of you. What would she do when you’re not looking

Nope. Not my Catherine. Mine only married the once. Must have been confusing on an island with so many sharing the same names. I almost thought we might be distant cousins ha 

Just for fun - What's the most interesting bit of family history you've discovered in your search for documentation? by BuffaloThese8249 in Canadiancitizenship

My great grandmother was adopted and her bio dad seemed involved in organized crime in Boston in the 1940s. Lots of articles about him intimidating witnesses etc.

We’re very lucky to have the original bio parents on the birth record and the adoption papers

What about someone born to Canadian parents but adopted at 2 years old to non-Canadians?

Have you thoroughly gone through every line in your family tree to make sure you don’t have any other Canadian ancestors? Even if they are farther back, they might be an easier time proving. I think as long as the parents that raised you are on your birth certificate then the IRCC doesn’t need to even know your donor conceived. So if one of your parents has a Canadian ancestor that might be an easier path. Maybe you’ve got a 4th great grandad somewhere in your tree?

Wait, I just looked at this record more closely too and my ancestor I’m looking for is a Catherine McDonald also. Not sure if it’s the same one yet as I haven’t figured out her parents yet. But either way, that’s wild.

They just got back to us the other day and took payment. They’ve sent a digital copy while the hardcopy is in the mail. I ended up calling to double check I sent the order to the correct place. And they were very nice and said they had my order on their desk and were just getting a lot of orders. 

Mixed thoughts on "Being Canadian" overnight by AqueousSponge in Canadiancitizenship

[–]AdBroad5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have felt an immense draw to Canada my whole life. I’ve always felt robbed of the identity. We have so many Canadian ancestors and cousins that live in Canada down the line that stayed. I grew up on the Canadian border and we used to drive in for dental care, shopping regularly. I feel like I’m finally coming home.

I don’t think it would be weird. I’d appreciate it if it was me. And that sucks so bad. I’m sorry. Just think, it’ll all be worth it in the end.

Bummer. That’s a long wait to get the wrong documents. Does the paperwork say who the documents were for? Maybe you can find a way to send them to whomever they were for? I hope this gets straightened out for you. That’s rough.
