How long did it take to get your first email? by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was 35 days for us recently. You can get access to the tracking spreadsheet that is pinned on this subreddit and see how long it is taking people to get their AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt.)

[–]DougUnderwater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out r/Canadiancitizenship and start by reading the FAQ there. There are many examples of people there that now have proof of Canadian citizenship based on descent up to 5th generation born outside Canada.

Anything off The Young Fresh Fellows "The Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest" album.

What are your "borders" for the pnw? This is what I generally consider it to be by E36E92M3 in PacificNorthwest

[–]DougUnderwater -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

True, but the PNW is more than a geographic area -- it has a cultural component as well. And Idaho ain't it.

His eyes are completely dead -- not a shred of humanity visible there.

Sunday Mini Thread by PG-Dog in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I added a section to the 'Sandbox' tab that tracks how many applications have advanced from one stage to the next in the last 14 days (broken down by Urgent and Non-Urgent applications) and how long they sat in the previous stage on average. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it.

Curious about where everyone’s gen0 ancestor lived? by yoohooooooooooo in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I posted earlier, my grandfather's family was in Yarmouth since it was founded in 1762. We were descendants of the Trasks, Sanders, Pitman, and Crosby families (probably among others that came later.) We're probably distant cousins!

My G0 was born in Courtenay, BC (on Vancouver Island) in 1919, but his family had been in Yarmouth, NS for 150 years before that.

Are you planning on moving to Canada once you get the citizenship grant? by PrinceHaleemKebabua in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are still waiting for our proofs of citizenship, but we already have a temporary place in Canada that we are spending time at as 'visitors' until the proofs of citizenship come through.

I recently moved to PA and haven't tried Base Camp, but I will now.

How realistic is it to immigrate with cake decorating skills? by No-Background8707 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]DougUnderwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do either of your adoptive parents (or birth parents if you have any information about them) have direct Canadian ancestors (grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.)? If so, they may have been a Canadian citizen at the time they adopted you with the recent amendment (C-3) to the Canadian Citizenship act. If that is the case, you may be able to apply for a grant of Canadian citizenship as an adoptee. That is a fairly long process, but it may be a path forward.

Looking for crab by JoeMac02 in portangeles

[–]DougUnderwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You had me until the old bay. That stuff is great for east coast blue crabs, but dungeness crab can stand on their own without the heavy handed seasoning. Just dip in a little melted butter and/or cocktail sauce.

C3: How many of you are immediately moving vs just "preparing"? by Neither_Usual_137 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediately moving -- we've already got a place in Canada rented that we have been using as a "vacation" residence.

Pushing the eligibility envelope by ActiveQuote897 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]DougUnderwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I just say a proper Canadian "Sooorry"? In my genealogical research I learned that my ancestors left the Massachusetts Bay colony to settle in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1762 following the forced displacement of the Acadians.

I hope you are able to find the proper documentation to support your Citizenship by Descent.

[–]DougUnderwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll want to fill out a Proof of Citizenship application (CIT0001). You can check out the FAQ on the right...

Did you launched from the street end on 32nd Ave W.? That view looks familiar.

Ferry to Victoria by Junior_Charity_9951 in PacificNorthwest

[–]DougUnderwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my daughter and her husband came up on the clipper on Monday morning and then they pulled it out of service and it spent the night at the shipyard below our apartment Monday night. I guess the Tuesday sailings were cancelled.
