Update on the Printing and Mailing of Certificates During COVID-19

Update on the Printing and Mailing of Certificates During COVID-19

CKC continues to receive a large number of inquiries related to delayed receipt of certificates via mail. The following update clarifies the current status. 
  • Certificates from Applications Processed October 1, 2019 – January 31, 2020
CKC has experienced technical issues with generating certificates for registration applications processed between October 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020. A solution has been developed and once CKC staff are able to return to the office based on Provincial government regulations, certificates will be printed, undergo a rigorous quality assurance process and be mailed. A dedicated team will be assigned to this project and we anticipate this work will be complete by Fall 2020, subject to the easing of restrictions due to COVID-19 and our ability to return to CKC's office.
 
  • Certificates from Applications Processed February 1 – March 18, 2020 
If you submitted an application that was processed between February 1 and March 18, 2020, and you have not received your certificate via mail, you can request a PDF Certificate by sending an email to certificaterequest@ckc.ca. In the body of the email, please include your full name, membership number and dog registration number.
 
  • Certificates from Applications Processed March 19, 2020 – Present 
Due to COVID-19 and current government directives, CKC’s office is currently closed.  For all applications completed March 19, 2020 and after, certificates and pedigrees will be emailed as a PDF within five to 10 business days. In order to receive an electronic copy, you must have a valid, email address on file with CKC. To update your email address, contact Membership Services. Paper copies will be mailed once regular business operations resume.
