Just asked if there's something wrong with my application and if he could check that so if there's something wrong I could fix it to avoid a rejection. He checked the application and told me there's nothing wrong. Just that. Then I asked about my current visa status, that will expire in January, so he told me that looking into my files, I'm qualified to request a bridge work permit... I asked if he could tell me when my application will be processed (I know that he couldn't tell when, but I was trying to get as much information as he could give) and that's the moment when he told me about the backlog, that CIC has a lot of application to process but that they are working to process all Express Entry applications until March/2016. That's all what he could tell.
Thanks for this. It worked for me.
Well bad news first, I don't have bg check yet compared to most of you. The good news is I'm still in the race.
First attempt of call to CiC was a failure. The agent was nice but insisted that MYCIC os what it is.
2nd attempt was somehow a success. The agent was really helpful and got some of my details including UCI. i waited for 2 minutes for her to check my application. Upon checking, she said that my last update is they already acknowledged the landing visa. I confirmed it to her if it is a RPRF. She answered, indeed.
Then she said that my application is currently being reviewed by another agent. I mentioned to her that my bg check hasn't started yet and said that my gcms notes revealed that I should have an update by Nov 28.
She mentioned to me that my application is under review (still!).
Then I asked her again and told her the reason I called is to ask if there is anything I can do to avoid rejection. She confirmed my wording and asked, you said rejection? i said yes.
Then after a few pause she said that Your not in that situation it's just that there are additional reviews that we're being verified and We appreciate your patience.
End of call.
