I am wondering if anyone here actually called cic several times and if it has any negative effect on their application?i called cic once before and am not sure if i should call them again or wait

Hi Wolverine17, Personally I do not believe if there is any negative effect when we inquire about our Application Status. But when we look at it from an employee perspective, like the same chap is calling again and again, we might think in our minds something like "Cant he be patient and wait for sometime before following up consistently". Just my 2 cents here.

Yes, but its a call center, so its a different employee picking up?

This is just a read out of whats in the profile which we all have access to on the CIC profile. However, yes, the phone recording does not read out the background status and only if you have access to your profile can you see the NA bit. Based on what you wrote, we cannot comment. You need to check with your agent and ask him what he sees in your profile.

Correct johnsyk, I believe when BGC=NA the Automated Message does not convey this over. But wolverine17 confirmed to me that if BGC has any other status other than NA, it would be read out in the Automated Message.

Join the gang! Do you have travel history? If you do, it will be a slightly longer wait!

Not an extensive travel history. 2 trips to Thailand and 2 trips to UAE before i became UAE resident.

I am not sure if UAE residence delays the process or not?

Your on point over here, but imagine the coincidence of the call falling back to same representative who picked it up the last time. Once again, this is in no way an issue since we Applicants require our status updates and the representatives are supposed to convey the same. It is their work as a matter of fact correct.

If you look at the tracker, its only been Indian residents living in India who got their PPR in rocket speed. They are all also processed in Ottawa. The rest of us need to wait it out. I see UAE folks on the tracker getting it between 90 and 120 days. I know a few UAE folks who moved to IP2 last week and still did not get a PPR in the latest wave. They are all still stuck in IP2. So I think we have no option but to wait. It will happen. Just have to wait it out....

My worry is that every call is apparently recorded on the GCMS notes. So they will know if you are a serial caller... ! LOL

You are already on IP2 and that happened on a Thursday. And then the weekend. So you will surely get it this week! In my case, my worry is that I have not even moved to IP2 and hence I thought I will give them a call today.

 

[Wolverine17]

I was thinking of calling tonite. It will be my second time. Do you think its a bad idea?

Am not sure but if you can wait try to,i will try to wait for at least a week,when will you recieve your notes?

The thing is they say that call appear in the gcms notes so am not sure if thats ok or not

I will get my notes in 2 weeks. I ordered them on 1st July...so expecting it at around 1st August.

You dont have to worry,gurik had her pr without having any change in her background check

HI @Prats6

Can a dependant submit pp to VFS on behalf of PA?
And how much do they charge in total for whole process? I shall opt for the courier service for getting pp back.

Don't know, in 3 cases (including mine) the Primary went to submit. But, I suppose, it should not be a problem at all as they don't really need anything out of the ordinary. Give them a call @022-67866002 just in case.

Exactly - 1008 per applicant (for tracking + courier), so if you have 1 dependent then its 1008x2 = 2016.

I will get them around the same time,4th of august,if there is no delay though

Is @gurik 100% sure it did not move to IP2. if she was using a consultant, she probably did not see it change?
