Top threads this week

  1. Today's CBC article on citizenship applicants and PR status

    Looks like this clarifies things. Also seems to settle the debate over whether or not people with current PR status have it suspended as a result of applying for C-3 (they don't). "However, she...

  3. Did the results of the recent U.S. election change your interest in seeking proof of your Canadian citizenship?

    I've been talking to a lot of Canadian immigration lawyers recently about citizenship issues, and one thing that's come up in several of those conversations is their belief that a lot of proof...

  5. Emailed last doc to DIOD Support

    IRCC requested a birth certificate for my GO, born 1872 in Québec, in addition to the certified baptismal record from BANQ. That was seemingly the only thing missing for me. I received the birth...

  6. Interesting article showing C3 in practice.

    I have a lot of questions here. State Senator Denise Tepler adopted a Burundian teenager who had been abandoned by his father in the United States. The child was refused asylum. Even with his...

  7. How long does a Quebec certified copy from BAnQ take in 2026? We pulled the numbers from our own files.

    Since March, our team has filed 58 BAnQ certified copy requests for Bill C-3 citizenship by descent clients. That is nearly $20,000 CAD in certified records. What we found: About four months from...

  8. Any new “hopium” for the long-term (Interim Measure/pre C-3) PSU cohort?

    Or new info? Validation? Most of my family has been waiting 16 months now. I know there’s nothing to be done, just looking for some glimmers to help us try to stay out of the pit of hopelessness…

  9. Provincial Archives of New Brunswick fees change 1-Dec-2026

    On https://www.gnb.ca/en/topic/your-gov/data-records/archives.html it says, "Fees are currently under review, and the new fees will come into effect December 1, 2026." I don't see an announcement...

  10. Any Experience with Spousal Sponsorship After C-3?

    Hey all! I hope this is relevant enough to C-3 to be posted here. I know we'll technically be recognized as full citizens, but does anyone happen to know if we have equal protections when applying...
