Can I contact IRCC directly?

[scaria197]

I have an authorised representative on the application.

As a Primary Applicant, can I submit a webform directly to IRCC?

Sure you can. I suggest to attach a doc just so that your inquiry won’t be ignored

Thanks Janesama.
I am a bit frustrated with my rep as she doesnt respond till there is an update. While that is understandable, her view is IRCC will take the time they need and I ask college if I can do some online courses till visa comes through.

I am hoping to directly ask IRCC for some clarity. I am from a visa exempt country and no medical required. Submitted complete application on July07 and recd AIP Aug 31. University on approved list on Oct 20.

With a young family, we are growing nervous as we dont have much time to wrap up, find accomodation, school for kids and the 14 day quarantine..

Did you check the average processing time for a study permit from your country ?

If your approach works please let me know. I applied on July 31st, for AIP on 7th August. Biometrics and medicals complete, full application. Since then nothing. I have a 2 year old, been attending online classes from September and it's really hard. Would really like to get a decision early so that I can plan in advance. There is alot involved plus anxiety also doesn't help

 

[scaria197]

So true Muhonzajudy! Sure will update here. With kids it is not easy to pack up and leave.

 

[ahmad jameel]

Yes.
1- via webform
2- call IRCC directly

 

[scaria197]

I thought IRCC does not allow call from outside Canada?

 

[Muhonzajudy]

Yes.

How can someone call directly?

Why won't you rep give you access to GC Key account? It should be you who applies for a visa and who is solely responsible for your application. If you call IRCC, they wouldn't be of much help if your case is not in Canada. I would rather send a webform in such case. Did your uni give you letter of support?

 

[scaria197]

My primary is Edmonton and Secondary is Ottawa though my biometrics were at Sydney. My rep is a registered agent as I understand they apply several applications using their GC key. No support letter provided by university.

Then call IRCC directly. Use the in-land number (+1-888-242-2100), call through either skype or purchase virtual canadian number (I have no clue how to do that, my husband did it for me)
