Hi Coffee:Coffee said:I am wondering if this 33 week wait period is based on something or was just an agents' common way of telling people they don't know when eligibility is over or reference to past experience when they were dealing with backlog applicants and that wait period was standard then...
I agree with you, I think they don't really know... and are probably frustrated by all of us calling that number repeatedly. Even though they have told us that number is for people residing in Canada who already have a file number, many of us without any status keep calling them from outside Canada.
Realistically, it must be frustrating for them; and did you hear the taped message before they connect you, about not being rude to the officers? Obviously some people are being rude to them... So now someone has come up with the 33 week answer. It is more likely an answer to keep people from calling back, than a correct time-frame... Obviously all this is just my opinion.
I called there once, about a month ago when my bank told me the wrong expiration month was mistakenly entered when the agent had tried to charge my credit card, I had a letter from my CC company proving this, and they did help me. I will not be calling there again though...
