Hope i will see new names to whom SC will call today.
First v3w got ca then v3v. Looks like they are working in reverse alphabetical order. Mine is v3R. Hope next is me
I wouldn't count on it, they missed me when they were doing V6 post codes
I am very positive that all of us would get calls, but when that is the question. As of now, what i have read so far, we can only speculate how the calls are being made. I know it is frustrating, that is why i had also been looking for a pattern as well, whether it was cities, alphabetic order or postal codes, but honestly I don't think there is a way of figuring out what they're doing. They will call when they will. the website says in the order of which the applications were received, but that is clearly not happening.
Though I have received my call and am pretty escalated, I am sending positive vibes to all of you, all of you will get a call, just stay strong!
My Case:
AOR April 11
Bil June 8th
I've seen so many ppl in Ontario got called, even their BIL date are much later than us. ( Jun, Jul, Aug). Does SC discriminate ppl from BC? Only taking care ppl in Ontario because Capital in there? So frustrating.

I normally do not answer calls from unknown numbers but I've been answering every spam call since they announced the Biometrics update LOL. This is depressing
Yes, one of my friends did get a call in Surrey today, Her AOR: March 28
this friday, surrey passport centre at king george and 101
So I got a little bored at work and decided to play around with the biometric tracker spreadsheet. Here's some stats comparing Canada wide (first table) and BC (second table) calls from Service Canada. The percentage is calls received for those in each AOR.
Looking at this we can see that BC has had way less calls received as a percentage of those in the tracker but the distribution is similar (higher percentage of calls between Feb and May before dropping off). Whilst it makes no sense that the January and February AORs don't have the highest percentage, at least we can see that the earlier months (not including Jan and Feb) are getting substantially more calls than the later months. Obviously this is not the whole picture as we're missing a lot of data from those that didn't know the tracking spreadsheet or these forums existed. I'm going to make an assumption that the %s are probably higher as those that have already received phone calls will probably not have gone out of their way to do further research and come on here to see what is happening. I think that especially rings true for the earlier months. Also worth noting that BC having way less data points makes that spread less statistically significant than the Canada wide numbers.
