Topic: Canadian Citizenship for My Daughter born in Asia

LuvCanada

Hello,

I am a first generation Candian (naturalised citizen) who has now settled in the USA.

My daughter was born in Cambodia and has dual citizenship. USA and Cambodian.

I applied for her Canadian Citizenship certificate last November and got a letter saying that they will start processing it in January.

However, I haven't heard anything back as yet. When I called I was told that it has gone in for additional review.

Can you tell me how long it takes, when it's being flagged for additional review.

Reading the new laws after 2009, I know my daughter qualifies as I am considered a first generation, even though I wasn't born in Canada.

I immigrated and was naturalised as a Canadian.

I have a US passport too as I have being in the US for 20 years.

Thanks
