Yesterday I managed to speak with an agent and was told my criminality check was in progress!
I managed this feat after calling CIC for past full week at different times and numbers and methods.
How you ask?
1. Install Hangout Dialer (yes, its free! no need for paying a paisa!) plus you need a cup of coffee!
2. Pick a good time of the night. I managed to get a call through at 10.30 PM Indian Std. Time (12 noon in Ottawa)
3. I dialed +1 613-944-4000. (Yes, with that small '+')
4. I followed the instruction as it is. The options are pretty logical.
5. First I took all the options till the automated voice read out my current status which is already visible in my status page.
6. After this got over, they asked if I want to speak with an agent! '... please press zero, if you want to talk to our agent...'
7. YES!
8. They told me a few times that the volume of calls was huge.
9. Repeated steps 3 to 8 till I was put in a queue!
10. Sipped on the coffee because I was in good 38 min long queue! with some airplane like music playing. This is why you have coffee!
11. Viola! A human voice (with French accent though) very kindly asked me my Reg num, Client num, DOB and last name.
12. Fell asleep, even after drinking coffee, with peace of mind and smile on my face!!

Coffee is centre of attraction here ! Good one
Yes @Ashtush Without coffee, the music is pretty enough to put even the toughest insomniacs to zzzzz
Same status here- don't think it signifies anything particularly. IMHO, I think CIC just wants us all to sit tight until 6 months is up!
@Nishita.Kulkarni U bet ! Even after coffee u fall asleep music must be prettyYes @Ashtush Without coffee, the music is pretty enough to put even the toughest insomniacs to zzzzz
I kind of like the music. And if it were a regular Friday evening, it was not a bad music for a candle lit dinner either!@Nishita.Kulkarni U bet ! Even after coffee u fall asleep music must be pretty
But for the task at hand, the music is just a pain!

I’m on the same boat with you CEC AOR September 20th
I logged into my account searching for the progress bar, I clicked on the “view submitted application” usually my list of documents shows transmitted but when I check yesterday all my documents are showing required.
Are you on similar status?
