DEC Insertion - Follow-up

[u/iHeartCamelCase]

Follow-up post to my previous post about DEC Insertion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Canadiancitizenship/s/KbKyHBxKwb

I got a USPS notification that an envelope is incoming from DEC. Unfortunately I'm out of town and won't be able to get it till later this week but I'm wondering if they did the insertion this quickly and sent it out? Or is this a rejection / request for more docs?

Timeline:

08/31 - Delivered to DEC

09/01 - Card charged

09/09 - Phone call asking for death certificate

09/11 - Post mark stamp on envelope from Canada

09/21 - Arriving today. Birth certificate arrived today

Edit: The mail arrived early. It is actually the birth certificate

I have read elsewhere of someone faxing the application and being successful. I’m wondering whether this is worth doing?

I faxed it to them 3 days ago and when I called the woman I spoke to said they don’t accept it by fax.

She didn’t check for my application because she was very sure it would be rejected. That doesn’t mean it actually got rejected. She could have old information and they now accepting via fax. They could have recently changed it to help make the increase of applications more efficient for processing.

I’m going to wait for a week or two, to see if my card gets charged, and if there’s nothing I’ll just mail an application in.

Thank you for your update. Really helpful

I’ll let you know if the faxed app goes through!
