Call From 888-242-2100

[jithucan123]

I got a call from this Number. and there was no response and the call got disconnected after 4-5 seconds. When I googled that number I came to know it is from IRCC.

Now what does it means? Is it a good sign or a bad? The only conclusion I can make from this call is that they have received my Citizenship Application and they opened it. I have sent my Citizenship Application on 05-Nov-2017 and it reached there on 09-Nov-2017

Did any body got a call from this Number?

Very unlikely CIC will contact you via phone

Very unlikely you would be contacted in less than 2 weeks after sending your app

It is likely a suspicious call. Check this out: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/call-got-from-1-888-242-2100.244458/

Obtaining one of IRCC's Numbers is very easy (they publicly list them all over the place, including on their website and with Directory Assistance). Spoofing (falsifying) CallerID and Caller ANI phone number and identity information is very easy for someone who knows how.

If IRCC calls you, have them verify their identity before you disclose any PII (personal identifying information) to them. Do not pick obvious information that is publicly, or nearly publicly, available, like your name, address, previous address, date of birth, etc. If the caller refuses to provide PII for privacy reasons, you can ask for a reference number for the call, explain that you have no way of knowing if they are truly from IRCC and that you will call them back, hang up, get IRCC's phone number from their website, call them back, and ask to speak to someone regarding the reference number you were given.

CallerID information is easily spoofed (faked).

Lucky you, I have been waiting for these CIC or CRA scammers to call me so I can troll them.
