Question about withdrawing

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the process of withdrawing an application . I ask this because next year I plan to go to Slovakia 🇸🇰 or somehow get off the wait list for an appointment at the nyc consulate and apply for citizenship by descent . My problem is Slovakia apparently does not allow you to get a citizenship elsewhere after being granted Slovak citizenship.

Slovak Embassy, Washington, DC says, "You automatically lose Slovak citizenship on the day you voluntarily acquire a foreign citizenship based on your explicit request (for example by application or declaration)."

Being that I’m stuck in psu most likely and there’s this whole issue with applications being paused I’m now unsure I’ll ever become a Canadian citizen before I get an appointment at the consulate or go to Slovakia with my dad next year .

Does anyone know if you send in a withdrawal request they won’t just process your application out of the blue ?

I haven’t made any attempt to withdraw bc a lot of my plans are currently up in the air but would like to know if anyone knows much about this process .

Opinions of how to use census records

Hi!

I was looking at the list of things to officially use now if a birth certificate is not available and it says “ census records”.

But nowhere does it state if it’s a Canadian one or one from another nation . I was wondering if one can use it in the sense to connect a child to a parent ? Or are they using it for connecting people to Canadian citizenship?

I submitted both Canadian and American census records last year with my application and now am trying to get official certified copies of them . Has anyone had luck with that ?

The reason I ended up including both is that the Canadian one while having everyone on it spells their French last name wrong and makes it more phonetic in its spelling . So included the American one from a few years later that has the same family with the last name spelt correctly .

Proving records don’t exist in Quebec

Hi!

I thought I can’t possibly be the only confused one on how to prove a birth record does NOT exist in Quebec , especially for an ancestor from 1890. Also I’m too nervous to post in the Canadian citizen sub Reddit bc things are removed mega quick .

I was wondering what is everyone planning to do ?

As seen in the notes posted

“ When source documents are not available and/or when an applicant is not able to obtain doc-
uments from a source authority, then the applicant must provide:
i. A written explanation outlining why the source documents cannot be obtained; and
ii. Submit evidence of efforts made to obtain the documents (such as correspondence
with issuing authorities or confirmation from source authorities that the records are
unavailable).”

Should we all upload 2 documents , one stating we couldn’t find the said document , and two showing how we looked for it ? Would having had hired a genealogist in Canada who couldn’t find it be sufficient ?

Since we’re all in psu or presumed to be , should we assume , we have time to accomplish these goals ?
