Can I ask (what I usually ask almost ever time)
What time did you guys received the request. Not that it matters because this was done through your VO
I cant see why I do not have anything from CIC-M yet! I am left alone in the spreadsheet! My luck I guess. First my package goes missing from Canada post for 18 days and now this! It looks like a promising career for my apps! :(
I got my AOR amd SA emails from CIC-M in the middle of the day I think.
I can't recall, as my full time job was to check for the update and status like others here.
I understand your pain and I wish you lots of luck to get your status update soon.
Btw, any update you received by calling the call center recently?

Hey Messenger
When my son was in Thailand and he wanted to contact CIC-M.. he called me... and I did a conference call with him...
If you do this... you will be the one who has to hit the buttons to get through to a live person.
So... if you have someone you can call in Canada and get you through to them... It might be an option :)

Congrats inhinyeronina! Hope to get mine soon too!!

Have you done anything so far to get their attention? Perhaps you reported to them that they surpassed your normal processing times? Or you emailed cpcm-extcom with the subject "Application past processing times"?

Hi Tom,

There's an overseas number you can try....this:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/index.php?action=post;quote=585226;topic=63158.0;num_replies=15;sesc=5b41127a5b265ccbff1fe95cd8bd6bb8

The call centre is only open Mon to Fri, 8 AM to 4 PM EST. The best time to call is around 8 AM. After that, it's gonna be very difficult....usually after 8 AM, I need around 8 to 10 tries (in a row) before getting on the queue line :). The automated message often says "sorry, we are unable to transfer your call" (because they're busy), but you should keep trying and you will eventually get on the waiting queue... =)

Sorry but the link its not working. says "Session expired"

I will definetely try to find the numbers and will call them as you say 8am (since we have 6 hrs difference suits me fine)

Thanks fandv

Hi cdnmom and thank you
As long as it is a normal phone line then i can call from here easily because our phone providers give us unlimited calls to North America and Europe.
Thanks for the advice

Ambilis naman! When did you filed yours?
Sis, she filed almost ahead of us all, but just got an AOR on the 40th day since app filed.

Congrats!! Happy for you all! Messenger next!!
Thanks Gary. That's very kind of you!
The truth is i am starting of losing my nerve. It seems that although the year started on the right track by giving us a precious gift to wait for a new baby, February and March are not very kind on us. Our apps are lost in deep space, and my spouse in hospital with a needle in her arm 24/24
Weather is not helping either. Europe has been hit by a very big early spring winter blast and we in Greece getting the aftermath.
Hopefully something should change soon
