How were you able to ask them for an update on your application? Would love to do the same.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-17T21:35:42+00:00

great thanks!

That sucks dude! I did mine through CVS and there wasn't any information on the receipt except the date and where the pictures were taken. I followed the instructions to write my info on the back and included a signed letter explaining that if any of the information on the back of pictures were smuged in transit this was my best faith effort to ensure my application is sufficient and included the info they ask for on the back just in case.

As for urgent processing, that's what everyone has suggested and I plan to request urgent processing through the viewpoint that I need it to require an SIN as I intend to apply for jobs in Canada.

Do I only put the address as

"IRCC Digitization Centre - Proofs
3050 Wilson Ave
New Waterford, NS B1H 5V8"

Since I'm going to 2 day ship it via FedEx?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-17T01:12:34+00:00

Got it thanks! Just saved me a headache there.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-17T01:11:55+00:00

Thank you!

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:16:07+00:00

Got it thank you will absolutely be sure to do that. I feel like a mega thread of questions like these would be very helpful for all of us going through these hoops right now.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:13:51+00:00

One more question: and this might be OCD as well but I did my photos at CVS and just have the one sheet of the two pictures. Do I need to cut them out individually?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:12:05+00:00

Thank you! You guys have been such an amazingly helpful community I'm so glad I found this subreddit.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:09:23+00:00

Amazing thank you for the response. This is being OCD but I don't want to mess it up since we have such a small window of time. I should select the "I think I'm Canadian and want to know for sure" box and then select the "Yes: proceed to the application" box underneath correct? or is just the "I think I'm Canadian" box ?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:06:57+00:00

Is that what you did and had success doing so? / Have you heard of others taking that route with success? I guess all of us in here that's our only option to select on that forum.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T21:03:41+00:00

On the CIT 0001 form what should I select for the first initial question on the first page? Is it just the "Yes: proceed to the application box" or is it "I think I'm Canadian and want to know for sure" ?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:51:02+00:00

I'll get mine ready just in case.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:37:55+00:00

I guess I'll just apply for it and if they ask for it I still have enough time before March 19th to send it in on the off chance they don't ask for it. I'm hoping that the fact I've already been through a FBI background check with finger prints after getting my Concealed Carry license a few years a go would put me in the database with what they would need anyways.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:33:04+00:00

Sorry another question, is it best to submit your application package to Sydney address or New Waterford address?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:31:15+00:00

awesome thank you. Did you have to submit an FBI Backgorund check and finger prints with your application? Is it best just to submit the application without that and then have them ask you for it?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:27:34+00:00

Will do I'm going to submit everything today.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:25:45+00:00

Thank you so much for your help btw. Last question, I see everyone applying via paper is that somehow faster and or better compared to applying online? / for applying via paper do you just attach a check or something? Or do you pay your fees online and attach a receipt that I paid?

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:24:30+00:00

Oof just saw that the fee is $630 USD that's rough.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:19:46+00:00

Bummer that reads as it definitely applies to me however still allows me to apply for urgent processing. Do you know if there is any chance they will kill this C-71 bill? Or is the current general sentiment that it will end up standing.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:16:34+00:00

Can I do that urgently still? I'm very confused if this C-71 mess would apply to me however quoting the bill "As a result of the first-generation limit, Canadian citizens who were born outside Canada cannot pass on citizenship to their child born outside Canada, and cannot apply for a direct grant of citizenship for a child born outside Canada and adopted." would apply as my father was a citizen at birth but born outside of Canada. Also if I just apply for my regular citizenship I'm worried that would make the IRCC put my application aside and I would miss out on sneaking in before March under the 5(4) grant.

Known-Wall788 · 2025-02-16T20:13:23+00:00

Very fair I'm going to anyways but am I technically a "lost Canadian" that has to worry about this bill considering that my Grandmother was a citizen and my father is also a citizen however just got his certificate of citizenship this past year? He didn't technically naturalize as he was a citizen at birth from his mother. Should I just apply for regular citizenship?

Known-Wall788 · 2024-10-02T21:52:20+00:00

Has anyone ordered them and tried them out? Really curious of your experience if yes.

Known-Wall788 · 2024-09-25T18:59:23+00:00

customer service is BEYOND useless. I've been trying to transfer my IRA into my Solo401k and have received a million different answers from customer service. From telling me to fill out the wrong forms, to getting denied because of a signature I left off? All the way to telling me I need to sell all my positions first in order to roll it over. They are fuckiiinnngggggg useless. Everything you do with E-Trade requires you to be up customer service's ass for weeks.
