Application Status:Called CIC

[Ps_vp]

I called CIC this evening and was able to speak to a very kind customer service representative. When I enquired about my status she told me that my application is still at CIO Sydney Nova Scotia. She told me that eligibility review is almost done and the last update made on the file was yesterday. When I specifically asked her the exact status of eligibility review she told me that she won't be able to tell as the final status is yet to be updated. when I asked whether it says Recommended Pass she gave the same reply. When I asked her whether i passed criminality she said "Yes as updated on file ".I am FSW O applicant, AOR 28/03/2017. Medical passed 30/05/2017. Background status remained NA since day 1.

What you guys think what stage I am at currently???

You seem to be very close to PPR as per your timeline and the conversation with Cic Agent.

what number did you ring?

Can I ask what number you called? I tried ringing IRCC a couple of days ago from the UK - I tried 1-888-242-2100 (I used the international code for calling Candada 001) but get a recorded message saying that the call cannot be connected as dialled... I found the above number here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp) but it says on that page that number can be called from inside Canada only.

Call +16139444000. I was successful to get transferred to CIC. But I waited for 55 minutes before talking to an agent!!

Yesterday I called 3 times and there were too many callers so I was not even put on the wait line.

Call from Hangouts, it is free!

I never knew they updated you! I will give it a try whilst waiting for GCMS notes.....what data do they ask for? just so I can have it all to hand

Thanks for this, rang it now, got through after a 35 minute wait and got an answer to my question

I called on 0016139444000 around 7:50 EST. Luckily had to wait for only 7-8 mins before call was connected to an agent. It was my 4th and the only successful attempt since past 2 weeks.

what did you use to get this free? hangouts.google.com?

 

[Ps_vp]

I called from my regular phone number . My subscription facilitates cheap calls to North America in return for a nominal fixed charge per month.

Yes I guess it's 6 or 7 don't remember exactly. You only get to speak to an agent if the queue is not long enough otherwise after you press the option to speak an agent they just hang up saying the lines are very busy. Best time to call is around 7:30 am EST, Later the lines get quite busy.
