Hello,

 

I'm applying for a proof of Canadian citizenship for my minor son born in US (CIT 0001 form) and have a question. The instruction says that all questions are about the minor and to answer them as though I'm a minor. I'm a bit confused about the options on the first page - before the application itself starts: should I choose "I want to pass my Canadian citizenship to my child born outside of Canada" OR "I never had a citizenship certificate and was born outside of Canada to a Canadian parent"? If I answer as if I'm a minor (on behalf of whom I'm applying) second option looks right but as a parent I should choose the first. 

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

Wow, I'm glad you brought this up!  I am filling out the same form for my son, and was going to choose the first one... But you're right!  They want you to fill it out as if youare the child.  Hmmmm maybe the 2nd one is right.  I sure hope someone else chimes in!

 

Also!  Where are you getting the photos done?  I am in Florida, and the only places that claim to do canadian passport photos are 3 or 4 hours away (which is a brutal trip with a toddler!).  I was wondering if Walgreens or CVS passport photos would be good enough...??

IR1/CR1 Visa - We are using a lawyer!

Embassy: Montreal, Canada

USCIS

22 Jan 2013 -- packageSent
31 Jan 2013 -- NOA1 from NBC

6 Mar 2013 -- I130 transferred to Orlando local field office (which started the whole nightmare)

Mar 2013 to October 2013 no one would tell us where our case was or what was happening. I suspected the whole time it was just sitting in a corner somewhere in the Orlando field office. I was pretty much right.

October 2013 - get congressman involved. Congressman asks USCIS repeatedly about our case but they won't even tell them anything.

31 Jan 2014- finally get NOA2!!!! (we think the nightmare is over!)

NVC

Our case was not sent from the Orlando field office as it should have been. The nightmare continues. We kept calling NVC and asking if they received our case, and they always said "NO" and that we had to wait 90 business days for it to be received. We called USCIS during this time and they kept telling us it had been sent. After the 90 days of agonizing frustration, NVC then started telling us we had to wait 120 business days. I got our congressman involved again, and they told the congressman it was sitting at the Orlando office this whole time (just as I thought it was!).

22 Apr 2014 -- NVC received
16 May 2014 -- NVC case number assigned
24 May 2014 -- AoS and IV bills paid

28 May 2014 -- Sent AoS and IV Packages

6 June 2014 -- documents scanned

18 July 2014 -- false checklist from NVC

21 July 2014 -- Case complete

28 July 2014 -- receive case complete email from NV

30 July 2014 -- interview booked! September 11 here I come!

Embassy
04 Sept 2014 -- Medical
11 Sept 2014 -- Interview - APPROVED!!!!
15 Sept 2014 -- Package arrived at Loomis location!!!
**03 Oct 2014 -- POE!! **

I NOW LIVE IN OCALA, FL!!!!

I went to a photography shop with the Canadian specifications printed out. I had no problems.
