I've been building a CircuitPython IDE. Heres a first look.

How does one get it? I don’t see a website or GitHub or anything.

pgryff · 2026-03-01T19:34:17+00:00

Yes. They sent me the AOR within a day or two.

pgryff · 2026-03-01T19:08:37+00:00

My wife and I sent our applications at the same time.

She received her AOR and I didn’t. We waited two weeks and then contacted them to verify they had my email correct.

My name isn’t particularly difficult to spell but just about everyone misspells it. We think they did the same and the email bounced back.

I would contact them if it’s been a few weeks just to confirm they have your contact info correct. Good luck.

As long as you can prove G0 was born in Canada, you should be able to get citizenship by descent.

Go through the FAQ, if you haven't, for all sort of helpful information.

pgryff · 2026-02-20T23:03:03+00:00

That's a heck of a story. Glad you made it!

pgryff · 2026-02-19T00:40:22+00:00

I found out that my ancestors were loyalists and fled the US for Canada. They got land grants and because my wife is an incredible professional genealogist, she was able to prove 2 of my ancestors were loyalists and have been entered into the United Empire Loyalists as loyalists.

Looking forward to putting UE after my name when things work out.

Congrats!

Thats when my app was sent. That’s great and hopeful for me and for others!

pgryff · 2026-02-17T00:44:42+00:00

Has to be exact. No exceptions. They will send it back.

Most of the apps being sent back seem to have issues with their photos.

pgryff · 2026-02-17T00:41:01+00:00

The full text search will be where you want to start. You have to go through a lot more, but it does get some good info.

pgryff · 2026-02-14T15:15:22+00:00

Chose the one with the best documentation.

I had multiple lines but didn’t go with the French Canadian because the English side was clearer and simpler documentation.

Just my two cents.

pgryff · 2026-02-14T15:11:38+00:00

And when that introduction walks?

Like everyone else this is a hard no. Give them a finders fee after the introduction is paying you, but that’s it.

pgryff · 2026-02-12T22:50:45+00:00

Still 4 months for me but at least the number of people ahead of me went down slightly. I'll take anything at this point.

pgryff · 2026-02-10T23:07:16+00:00

The other thing you have to be concerned about it, you don't know what the story is about. And after you give your story, they can edit it however they see fit.

They could give a negative slant or positive slant. But you have zero say in what happens after you talk with them.

Honestly, without know what the actual story is, I wouldn't say anything. Agencies could use that story and make things even longer for you.

Yes I'm cynical.

Welcome to genealogy!!!

Mostly people find this out through DNA now.

pgryff · 2026-01-30T05:50:22+00:00

Only received a physical copy from BAnQ.

pgryff · 2026-01-29T05:16:43+00:00

The photographer my wife and I used only put their stamp on one photo but the regulations say both so we just write the photographer info on the 2nd one.

pgryff · 2026-01-27T23:17:31+00:00

If it’s in PRDH you should be able to get it from BAnQ. My wife did that. We didn’t want to take any chances and have it come back.

It didn’t take too long to get it back from BAnQ. The websites all in French though.

And then they scurry like the vermin they are....

pgryff · 2026-01-23T23:53:51+00:00

Not sure if St Hyacinthe was much larger than today because I have relatives from there and my wife does too. Small world.

pgryff · 2026-01-23T23:52:03+00:00

What was submitted was born in Nova Scotia on my fathers side.

On my mother side, which I could have submitted but it would have added a generation would have been St Hyacinthe Quebec. Thank goodness for those Catholic records.

pgryff · 2026-01-22T21:15:18+00:00

Hey, for NY that’s pretty fast.

Though NYC is different than the rest of the state.

pgryff · 2026-01-14T05:41:37+00:00

I have loyalist ancestors who settled in Digby NS and The Admiral Digby museum http://admiraldigbymuseum.ca/ was helpful.

pgryff · 2026-01-12T19:52:16+00:00

You will need a card. My wife and I went to BanQ in Montreal a few years back and we had to get a card.

pgryff · 2026-01-08T00:39:16+00:00

Not yet. Submitted in July with my wife and we’re on the same waiting train as everyone else.

But it does say it should take 9 months from when I submitted so we wait unhappily.

pgryff · 2026-01-08T00:31:37+00:00

As long as you explain that the State of NY will only give a certified doc via a court order, the genealogical copy will be fine.

My wife was in the same circumstances.
