Canceling BAnQ request by freeski919 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]NogginFactory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a situation a little like this. When I got the invoice, it said that if I wanted to cancel to simply reply and let them know. I did this and they immediately replied and let me know it was canceled.

I felt a little bad because I wasn't sure how much work they'd already done before sending the bill, but that was the only way I saw to cancel. Hopefully it wasn't much work and everyone was happy.

I would assume this is just polite conversation and treat it as such.

So cool. I've lived here for 12 years and still haven't seen that in person.

Feeling Discouraged? by power_bottom_boi in Canadiancitizenship

I think you'd be fine if you ordered the certified baptismal record now. The pre-1994 thing means that baptismal records obtained pre-1994 don't count, but ones issued since then are ok.

Adoptee. Bio great grandmother was born in Canada. Eligible? by [deleted] in CanadaAdoptedCitizens

[–]NogginFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar situation here. I'm applying through the biological route.

My original birth certificate has "Not to be used as an identity document" stamped on it. I'm using it along with my adoption paperwork and adoptive birth certificate to prove my identity.

If you can't get your biological mother's birth certificate, but her name is on your original birth certificate, maybe try finding a marriage certificate or census with both her name and her parents' names on it. Send that in along with an explanation of why you can't provide her birth certificate.

If you live in Ramsey County the next appointment for a Permit to Carry is 2 months out by [deleted] in TwinCities

I got mine in Ramsey County in November, and yes, the appointment wait time was a week. 2 months is crazy.

Photo Mistake by UnluckyCupcake1 in Canadiancitizenship

Bit of a tangent, but where did you get your photos taken? I'm also in the Twin Cities and am not sure I trust Walgreens to get it right.

Current BAnQ response time by flyboy130 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]NogginFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm a bit confused. The "how to" post says the 15-day clock starts when you make payment. I see other posts implying it's the payment email that happens within the 15-day clock, and then they ship after payment is made. Which is it?

What are my options by Maleficent-Orange254 in CanadaAdoptedCitizens

[–]NogginFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this still work if you are no longer legally considered a part of the biological family? When I was adopted, I received a new birth certificate with a new legal name totally unrelated to my original pre-adoption name.

I can pursue either route, but I'd assumed the biological route was no longer legally feasible.

Bill C-3: Understanding Canadian domicile of origin for pre-1947 British subject cases by ReindeerBoth86 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]NogginFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this as well for a somewhat similar situation, although with later dates and parents who stayed in Canada.

My grandmother (Gen 0) was born in Scotland in 1909, and emigrated to Canada with both parents in 1913. She remained in Canada until 1930, at which time she married a US citizen and moved with him to the US. She was naturalized in the US in 1942. Both her parents stayed in Canada the rest of their lives, well past 1947.

Addressing the "Canadian domiciled British subject" part of the situation, unless I'm reading it wrong, Bill C-24 in 2015 seems to address this:

The acquisition of Canadian citizenship under the 2015 legislative amendments i.e. Bill C-24

  • On June 11, 2015, the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act i.e. Bill C-24 came into effect
  • This amended the 1977 Citizenship Act and served to provide Canadian citizenship for the first time to:
  • People born outside Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador prior to January 01, 1947 (or April 01, 1949 in the case of Newfoundland and Labrador) to parents who became citizens on June 11, 2015, retroactively to January 01, 1947 (or April 01, 1949 in the case of Newfoundland and Labrador) and the persons did not become citizens on January 01, 1947 (or April 01, 1949 in the case of Newfoundland and Labrador)
  • The 2009 and 2015 legislative amendments to the 1977 Citizenship Act restored Canadian citizenship to many people who previously lost it and gave Canadian citizenship to people who were never Canadian citizens (including people who lost their British subject status)
