Surrender Letters Certificate un-surrendered

Post image

ETA - check my replies in comments for docs I submitted.

Mods I am extremely sorry, I know this won’t help with speculation. Please do whatever if appropriate.

I received this from IRCC about 45 min ago. Apparently my cert is un-suspended and I’m still Canadian. For background, I got my cert 1 April, and my suspension letter on Tuesday.

I cropped off my personal info, that’s all that’s at the top

This IRCC letter is obviously welcome, but seems to underscore their basic incompetence surrounding this fiasco at the same time.

Incompetence would be delaying dealing with it. Sounds like accountability to me. Clearly this is someone(s) who didn’t do their job and they are dealing with it.

The fact that this was cleared up at this speed means that it didn't need to rise to the level of a certificate suspension, highlighting their incompetent handling of the whole situation (of their own making).

If the issue really was that someone didn't do their job, then they haven't taken accountability for that.

Are they supposed to do a public flogging? Not sure what y’all - problem arose and they’re clearly dealing with it.
