FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[idoit]

Can I say congrats then ???????   Being so close to CIC, I don't know how you do it...I would be tempted to drive by their offices, just to relieve the nervousness, even though I know it wouldn't help 1 bit!

no expectations until you post the official good news.

Thanks islandbabe. You are right, no expectations yet. By the way, isn't it time for you to change your name to CanadaBabe, CanuckBabe, or something? just kidding

Congrats !!

Thanks, it's too early for that matter. I guess I'd know by end of this week or next Monday what's the fate for my little app.

Okay, here are the details for those who are looking to call and are not getting thru...

Call at: 001-613-944-4000

Follow this order, make sure you hear the number before pressing it.

English...........= 1
Foreign Affairs.= 2
Immigration.....= 2
Call Transfer......
English...........= 1
Status...........= 2
PR Card..........= 2

They'll put you on hold for about 6 - 20 minutes.

Guy I don't know who spread this 613 number in the first place! but people, don't call this number as eventually you are redirected to the 888 242 2100 number! It just adds to the redundancy! See, if you call 1-613-944-4000, you have to wait more, punch more numbers to just be redirected to CIC number. Edit: ignore what I just said.

The 888 is a toll free number and cannot be dialed from outside Canada.

Hello,
I just called the 888 242 2100 number but it doesn't work, what is the number if you are calling from outside Canada??
Thank you

Maybe because it's not possible to call a toll free number from abroad?! so we have to call this 613 number

Hello everybody,
as most of you, I am also counting the hours to get response from CIC. I called them today as per details below, but the lady told me that they can't give me any information and that I need to contact them by email. I gave her my email address so she could send me the contact details but nothing so far

Any suggestions to get information from them???

Thank you.

I also did the same and got the same reply - that I need to contact them by email. ... :-X

 

[rajeeve6600]

Ok my friends, I just called CIC and it seems my application is through, as it's complete and no missing documents. Though I'm not raising my expectations yet.

I can't deny that I do agree with what you said now in this post.

I know, what a waste of gorgeous trees we have on our lovely planet, eh?

Hi Idoit, the lady asked for UCI number and when i told i dont have one, she tranferred the call to someone else and that guy told me to contact them by email...

 

[islandbabe]

Sorry rajeeve6600. I think CIC just gave you the brush off Seems they are busy and dont want us bothering them ( only a few via the telephone give applicants updates you just have to be lucky to have them pick up your call), if you email they will tell you to wait 20 working days for a response This is really a waiting game. If you can afford it, try to call again.I hope they posts a Cap update today

Good luck Idoit, good news is coming to you soon I hope ..so CIC has already opened 13rd May applications for completeness check then.

Jigzyy has disappointed me. He did not yet provide the good news. Where's him BTW?

 

[jig nesh]

Does anyone has any update on CIC strike? Is it resolved or still going on?

 

[canadachocaccon]

I want to send an email to CIC. What is their email address?

 

[Nizam06024]

I reread the manual just now, and this is what I understand.

• Receive application & date stamp it
• Completeness Check
• Ministerial Instructions Check
• Eligibility Check
• Record in the system that file is received
• Enter Federal Skilled - 1
• Goes for CC / DD
• Assign & write UCI on the paper file
• Send email of PER to the applicant

May be we are taking it wrong THAT after completeness its payment. Remember Sachin's case? He got his file returned that he missed the sign AND job duties does not match. This is only possible IF above steps are true.

If this is true...any idea how many days on an avg. CIC could take for completness check....as i see Payment of CC/DD is taking approximately 45-60 days..

Jigzyy is super busy, I emailed him and told him to check with his bank for DD en-cashment. Hopefully he comes soon with some good news.

Jigzyy is bound to bring us good news. He already knows about the Kick-Ass rule we set earlier.

@ kenkirin: Thanks. Let time be our hero.
@ rajeeve6600: It's alright. In the meantime, gain some lady-mojo techniques. they'll tell you.

Oh, if a guy picks up the phone, click... put it back. This trick doesn't works with guy staffs at CIC.
Don't do this at home
