Good to know - thanks. Easier to take the path of least resistance. Passports aren't that costly. Also - they don't issue citizenship cards anymore, just the certificate.
We too had 0 problems during COVID.

You can find more info on the exception here https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/docu...al-citizenship

And here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...it-canada.html

EDIT: I guess I should tag you so that you know it's been addressed because that's how you may have missed it earlier @sydneyracquelle

Thanks for these links. I'd say 1/2 the time we travel - CBSA does ask where one of the kid's passport is and I just say - still in processing, but never any additional issues.
