I sent an email last night to this email address you mentioned (9 PM Calgary time), got a reply within 30 minutes with some generic information and telling me that my application is at Ottawa office. Not sure if they are working late shifts to cover the backlog .... too good to be true i guess
Waiting_Eyes said:Dear it is sad to hear that it has been 8 years and you still your husband not able to get the visa, send email to OTTAWA pilot project with info of your file number and UCI number, they will reply if they have your file or not, coz the letter you get from MISSISSAUGA says that your file transferred to Islamabad but sometimes it gets transferred to OTTAWA like in my case, my file is in OTTAWA and they have confirmed it to me,
their email address is ottpilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca
