You are absolutely correct but it caused delay
your application
If you call or email once month or 3 times a year no issues but some guys keep emailing or call every week
Then officer thinking why this person is so much in a hurry let’s check out deeper into her/his background more
When your application is delay it’s a negative impact In my own opinion
It happened with me because of the work permit i used to call the call center every time you know how long take them to give me my work permit usually the process was 3 months but they transferred application to my Edmonton office after 9 months I got my work permit

I learn my lesson in hard way
Is through ,even my lawyer told me don't call customer service, she told me the best way is to order gcms notes after 4-6 months,

As long as people use both customer service and order GCMS within a reasonable time frame it is fine. There are some people that abuse this system which causes delays for others.

Many lawyers don't want you to contact IRcC on your own because they want to be in control of all information flow and they want all enquiries to go through them. Customer service agents are not immigration officers and most probably not even government employees (outsourced, like a lot of operational stuff in government). Yes, they leave notes on your file, but that's it. If calling IRcC was automatically affecting your file negatively, they would not add a note to each email with their contact number and invitation to call with questions. Of course we should not abuse this service, for our own mental sanity and peace - because there is no point in calling every day when files move at turtle's speed and stressing out.

Hello guy,
Hope you all are doing great. I have one question I am here in Canada since 2012 and I got my PR last year. In past years I was in Work permit but I think I had no status, my question is when I will be eligible for CITIZENSHIP. Do I need to wait fir 3years after getting PR or I need to wait 2 years after getting PR as I am here since long time they will Count One year.
thank you

To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must: be a permanent resident. have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years.
* each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a day (up to a maximum of 365 days);
* each day you were physically present in Canada after you became a permanent resident counts as one day
* If you were issued work or study permits while your refugee claim and/or Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) was being assessed, these documents did not grant you Temporary Resident status. You cannot use this period of time in your physical presence calculation.

Hello Everyone,

I've been following this thread since Jan 2020 and I recently just received my AIP(Jan 22nd, 2021). I thought I should share my timeline for anyone who might be panicking and worried about their application. I was also under a lot of stress during the application process but I'm thankful to God that I was able to pass the first stage.

My timeline:
Application received- Jan 31, 2020
AOR- Feb 05, 2020
Biometrics - Feb 05, 2020
In process- Nov 16, 2020
AIP- Feb 02, 2021

I've been in Canada since 2009, I came as a student and finished university here. A few unfortunate things happened to my family and I along the way and there have been multiple attempts to legally stay in this country.

My application was based on establishment and hardship in my country.
Hi ‍♀
Congrats in your AIP. We almost have the same timeline. Do you have any idea, how long is stage 2?
