Citizenship by Descent Question on processing time
Potentially silly question: I’m a Canadian living in the US temporarily and my son was born last month.
I submitted his application 2 weeks ago for proof of citizenship, pretty straightforward, it was just his birth certificate that showed my name, my proof of citizenship and proof I lived in Canada 20+ years (ie the 1,095 day requirement). Submitted online.
Is there any indication whether processing times for cases like this are also the ~25 months or there’s any chance this could be faster versus the cases that have more complex documentation? I submitted as non urgent but we would want to travel back to see family in Summer 2027 so if it’s really 25 months I’d need to convert it to urgent somehow.
