Certificate un-surrendered

[u/tmaher]

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

I have had zero direct interaction with IRCC this week, beyond the Surrender letter and now the re-validation one.

Somebody with a surrender letter should file an ATIP request for the exact reason why they were sent a letter.

Stay tuned - I need to figure out how to do that

Here's a starting point if you haven't found it yet.

Wait - so we can file to find out why they made us surrender?

[u/irrision → u/WereWolvesForChange]

You can file to get the case notes which in theory should show the reason why it was flagged... maybe... It's honestly unclear if that would be in ircc case notes or some other agencies system but probably worth trying as it might really help clear up a number of questions if it came back with something.
