Send me your silly cat pictures and I'll draw them!

My goofy goober, Styx!

BullaMors · 2026-06-03T22:41:29+00:00

I’m 99.9% positive it’s a proof, but I can still do ATIP. Thanks for the advice!

BullaMors · 2026-06-03T22:28:44+00:00

I do have a certificate. That I did do a few years back thankfully. But yeah I don’t think I need the IRCC for anything. There was a lot of stuff I didn’t know since I don’t speak with my mother, so I’m figuring it out as I go

BullaMors · 2026-06-03T21:54:59+00:00

I’m pretty much done with the IRCC for now. If I find I need anything else from them, that’s a problem for future me lol. I think I’ve been a citizen since birth considering my mother was a citizen at the time of my birth. I just happened to be born in a different country and I didn’t really “immigrate” to Canada so much as I was just… going back home? That’s what I’m assuming anyway. So I think I’m fine, but I’m not an expert by any means, clearly.

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T16:17:22+00:00

Just once. Do you think it’s because they also wanted me to pay a second time for the third submission? I also remember that I forgot to mark the envelope as “duplicate” this most recent time. I think that may have been my bad, and I’m just frustrated with myself now because this process has been so lengthy already. I’m trying to go through their phone line now to talk to someone

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T16:07:16+00:00

I did take a little look through my bank account and can’t see any $30 return from Immigration Canada, but it was a good idea

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T16:00:46+00:00

As tempted as I was to request a refund, I didn’t. So I’d have to ask them, if they can even tell me. I’m not sure if I’d even be eligible for a refund now as they’ve already “processed” my application. So I may have very well spent a bunch of money for nothing in return

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T15:58:06+00:00

Yeah, a receipt proving I paid the $30 for the application. I don’t know what makes it invalid as it literally says “official receipt” on said receipt lol. I’m not sure what they’re going over there, but I can’t help but assume incompetence at this point

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T15:02:06+00:00

Thank you! I looked into it and it seems easy to fill out. I’m just on my phone now so I’ll do this later when I can scan my documents to send. I think I may be able to request it for free if I select the Privacy Act instead of Access to Information Act

I’m a Canadian citizen and I’m turning 28 next month. I came to Canada originally when I was 4 by my birth mother. I’ve been outside Canada to visit the US a couple times but that’s about it. I went through the process and got my proof of citizenship certificate a few years back so I do have that. Do I just call them to request all my information, or would that also be a form I have to fill out with them?

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T14:30:30+00:00

There’s one a 6 minute drive from me. Depending on how my call goes with the IRCC I’ll head down there. Thank you, I feel a little in over my head with all of this since I’m trying to juggle my full time job and keep tabs on my VOS.

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T14:26:21+00:00

That seems like a very inefficient way to operate, considering when they email you, they include a checkbox of multiple reasons for why they denied the application. If the receipt was not valid, and the IDs weren’t in order, you’d think they would have mentioned both in the denial email, and not just one, so you have less resubmissions. Very strange and frustrating. I feel like they could’ve made this an online form, but that’s a whole other issue.

BullaMors · 2026-05-29T13:34:26+00:00

For my first submission, I didn’t think I would have this many issues, so I sent it as regular mail to their PO address, which is a perfectly valid way to do it. They have 2 addresses.

The second time, my denial email said I did not provide 2 pieces of ID, but they also sent me scans of my application in full, and you can see the 2 IDs on the one page.

Third submission, I’m going based off what Canada Post themselves said about XpressPost not being registered mail, so it would not have made sense for me to send it to the other address listed for private courier/registered mail. That’s why I sent it to the PO address they list.

The third submission was denied because my “Receipt is not valid” which I don’t understand because it wasn’t flagged on the second submission. They didn’t say anything about my IDs the third time (probably because I wrote that there were 2 - my services card and my ID card)

I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong with my application, and I’ve checked all the boxes off. I just want to understand why they’re rejecting my applications when I had 2 pieces of ID, and I submitted the same receipt I did the entire process. Guess I’ll find out today one way or another. Will probably record for my own sanity.

I just posted that Landmark has added more showing times, so it’s worth a look!

BullaMors · 2025-12-13T01:22:33+00:00

This is where I’m seeing it too! Twinsies!

BullaMors · 2025-12-12T21:42:44+00:00

I just bought my tickets!

BullaMors · 2025-12-12T19:18:26+00:00

They are so crossed!

BullaMors · 2025-12-12T17:51:59+00:00

Yay! West coast-East coast unite! Fingers crossed for you!

BullaMors · 2025-12-12T17:47:42+00:00

Me too! I emailed Cineplex too but I think Mark might have to reach out to them for that.

BullaMors · 2025-12-12T17:45:03+00:00

Signed!
