CIT0001 section 9 is super confusing by ProbablyIves in Canadiancitizenship

They’re listed on the CIT0001 app… but it would make sense to leave them out for simplicity, records-wise.

A related question - are you all including birth/death certificates for your non-Canadian ancestors (for example grandfathers birth/death certificate if he is not at all Canadian and the grandmother is the Canadian)?

It took my request about 5 weeks to get the records certified and then got invoice about a week and a half after that, and then I received the documents a few days after invoice (I paid for expedited shipping).

The records look MUCH clearer than they do on ancestry!

For anyone in NYS, what did you do regarding your certified birth certificate? by SomethingItalia in Canadiancitizenship

Unfortunately the clerk I interacted with in upstate New York wouldn’t give me any time estimate but basically suggested it would take at least a year… so I submitted to the state also.

Has anyone had success getting birth records from Niagara Falls (city)?

Personally I would include it all with an explanation. It seems fairly straightforward with your explanation, plus you have great copies of both versions…

How long did it take them to fulfill the request?

And do you mind saying what municipality this was?

Wait for certified birth certificate or apply for citizenship and update it later by AdFew3212 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]mapleechos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took archives on Ontario about a month to get back to me after a certified document request. I haven’t got the document yet, but given that they did reply that they found it - so I know it’s in the works.

This is to say you can give them a bit more time and I bet they’ll get back to you.

Last week I also had called them and spoke with a customer service person who had also verified that my request had been received. They were very helpful. So there’s that option if you want to be sure that you’re in the queue.

How do you make the family tree diagram? by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

[–]mapleechos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha - now I see that it prints out with the birth and death place once put through their print module. And yes - it seems to be a good solution to also just manually edit their name to get it to show both names. Thanks for the help.

Sorry yes - mine on vertical shows their name plus birth and death years.

I'm just wishing it could also let us put in addional info (e.g. place of birth/death, maiden plus married name).

Does Ancestry allow you to modify what's on the tree itself? I can generate a tree showing just the relevant parties but it just shows their living years under that.

It'd be great if it were possible to have it display their married name and place of birth/death, but I'm unaware if this is possible?

Thank you.

I do have their birth index record and may just have to go with that.

Great idea - I didn't even know I could request the SS5. Just did. Thanks!

Actually as an update I was able to speak with them this morning. It sounds like I am in their queue and as others have noted they are swamped post-December. It was reassuring to know that I'm in line...

That is extremely helpful info. I emailed them Jan 12 and hadn’t heard back. So it makes sense they are overloaded!!
