Just received a letter from Citizenship and Immigration Canada confirming that they have received our application for Canadian Citizenship for our adopted child. And that they estimate that it will take 8 weeks to process the paperwork as to whether we are approved or not.
Just to be clear this is only Part 1of the Application to adopt a child internationally. This paperwork is to have the Canadian Government confirm that at least one of the adoptive parents is a Canadian citizen. In our case, that would be me, as Erwin is Australian. Anyways, once they prove that I am a Canadian citizen, (personally I think my Birth Certificate is a dead give away) it gives our child to be, the right to get Canadian citizenship as soon as an adoption is finalized. Our adoption will be finalized in Vietnam and then we would apply for a Canadian passport immediately for our child (that is Part 2). So basically this is just getting all of our ducks in a row so to speak!
