The 613 number does notbwork directly. When it forwards to CIC, the same recording comes on telling you that the number is nor accessible from outside Canada. You need to spoof your caller ID. Subscribe to a service like Spoofcard. Use it to call 1-613-944-4000 (not the 888 number). Input any Canadian phone number when asked. None of this is illegal, although Spoofcard does cost something ($9.95 for 60 min).
How to reach CIC Call Centre toll free number from outside Canada??
- Thread starter sanchalanam
- Start date
you can add *67 to the beginning of any number, and it'll mask your Called ID information. this is legal and mentioned by FCC (see Blocking Tips for Consumers at the FCC webpage Caller ID and Spoofing -- sorry, i'm not allowed to post links).
i was successfully passed to CIC by dialing *67 613 944 4000 from my mobile phone in the US; i had to use my actual mobile phone since my Google Voice number was unable to use the *67 code. i did not try the 888 CIC number, but i'm sure it works too.

Guys,
Just wanted to share my experiance. I called from India on the toll free number shared in the thread in initial posts by skype.
FIrst of all, it took almost 4-5 times to connect with some person on other side and every time it took about 5-8 minutes.
When i was connected with a lady on the other side, she asked so many questions to confirm my identity.
Couple of times, I had to recall some answers and i was doing "ummm.. just a sec", she promptly told me i can't do that and If I am doing, she will think I am not the person who I say I was...
FInally she said that she cannot give me any details as she thinks I am the wrong person calling for some info and she will not give any information.
I was terrified that this should not affect my processing. But after couple of weeks, got an update that my PR cards were delivered.
So, In summary, if you are trying to call from outside canada, please be handy with all the docs like landing paper, your address you gave while landing, contact nubers, pin codes etc...
Hope it would be helpful..

Hi, I am in dubai and the person I informed to collect and send me the card seems to be misguiding now. I am feeling that my card must have been delivered but the home owner says they have not recived, can you guide me please if i can somehow check the status of my PR card from Dubai.]
When did you land? Have you check ecas whether or not your PR card had been issued and mail to your Canadian address? According to the website, the processing time to issue a new PR card will take about 72 days.Ruhi123 said:
HI, I landed on July 4th and at the time of leaving canada on 5th of August as per call center, PR cards were scheduled to be dispatched in the last week of august.steaky said:
Being new application, it does not show online status on e-cas even call center said the same thing that I will not be able to check it online. Please guide me if I can anyways check PR cards status at present from UAE. Thanks for any possible help or information.
It seems 613 number does not get transferred to CIC call center again. I used it early August and I was able to get the call center but today, I was transferred to International Trade Department or whatever. Anybody with another link please?. I am yet to get one of my dependants' PR card
Guys this number works perfectly from any part of the world. 1-613-944-4000, but dial from a legal normal number, I tried it with my mobile number and it worked they responded very well and you can change address, ask status or any infomration. dial 1-613-944-4000 thne extension 1, 1, 2.bashaclick said:
