Family name finally corrected in status check - related to updating files?
My CIT 0010 application was received on June 5, 2026, and processing started on June 12, 2026. As others have pointed out here, my status check (https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do) required using my family name at birth.
On August 11, I uploaded 23 documents using the web form to provide documents directly from the original institution or provide missing docs (like proof of no birth record found. Today, I noted that when I looked up my status, I could only do so under my correct adoptive family name. Do you all think this has to do with my document upload? Or just a function of normal processing?
Claim:
My adoptive father was a G3, solid birth records on everyone except his two G0 great-grandparents from NB and NS (the mother of the NS G0 had a civil birth record in a Township book held by the Nova Scotia Archives). When I originally filed, I used several documents from FamilySearch and didn’t include proofs of no birth records found for the two G0s (in one case, I rely on two Canadian censuses and in the other I rely on her mother’s civil birth record). I also relied on US records to some extent to show Canadian birth, and now only use them to show parentage and indicative supportive evidence of Canadian birth. I fall under the two generations born outside Canada pre-1947 category (G0 born 1850 in Canada and left after 1867, G1 born 1881 in the US, G2 born 1922 in the US, G3 born 1953 in the US - all were dead by 2003). I have Canadian documents showing the G0 with the census records present in Canada at least through October 31, 1867. The other G0 (whose mother had a civil birth record) left for the US with the whole family in 1849.
