I missed the call from SC last Friday and in the voice mail they said they’d call me again in a few days. Now it’s been a full week and no one has called me. Anyone in a similar situation? (I’m located downtown Vancouver)
Yes! It's been 3 weeks since I missed the call and still nothing :( I'm in Burnaby.

I really wish SC can open online appointments cos it's painful to hear Oct AOR receiving calls and we still have Jan, Feb waiting. I'm May 16 AOR still waiting
Jan 10 AOR still waiting and on the top of that IRCC is sending me a letter asking me for an update of my biometrics. Crazy!
How can I give biometrics if SC is not calling me!:mad:

Hi, AOR Feb 7th. They left a message saying "we will call you again another day". It's been 3 weeks now and they still haven't called. It's very frustrating :(
I know the frustration..... I just hope that they will reopen soon....

I feel like we are all in Castle by Kafka (it is a book about a castle that is totally unreachable, but sends very confusing correspondences out).
Oh it is so so frustrating, Why don't they just keep the online appointment system open and available to all of us so
nobody slips through their dysfunctional system. It will help them to save resources and give everyone a fair chance.
They can limit the number and time of appointment from their end however way they like. I don't understand the way these
people organize their work! :(

Exactly and the truth is recent applicants are getting calls as soon as they get BIL which means there's not much backlog again so just open the online appointment already. SC is offering appointments booking for all other services except biometrics.

Could this probably means that our information has been lost or slipped through their system somehow??
Otherwise we would have been called already by now??

I can't believe I am still waiting for the call!!!

It can be missed out, lost or special cases depending on the unfair criteria like dependant outland, FSW, or even mine own case, I'm exempt but with an inland dependant that is not exempt. I'm just confused about the whole process. This is crazy.

Hi Can you please elaborate why you think FSW could be one of their criteria for delaying the call? I am FSW, so
I am just curious.

There was another applicant I met online through this forum thingy, who is exempt himself, but with inland dependent (his wife).
If I remember it correctly, his AOR was May and he was still waiting. It was about 2 wks ago. So, I think may be, possibly,
people with inland or outland dependent are not their priority. But, why? We all have absolute right to be treated fairly, and
they should know better especially in this frustrating and stressfull situation we are all put in.
