Hey
I just got off a call to IRCC (+1 (888) 242-2100) via TextMe app on iPhone.
Got hold of an agent, after following the prompts to input data. I had to wait a minute after those prompts finally gave me the option to speak with an agent.
Right away I specifically asked whether I passed Eligibility and Security. Unfortunately, I hadn’t but I was that specific since I already knew that I had passed Criminality last August. I also asked if my file’s moved processing offices — that too hasn’t changed.
The agent was empathetic enough to say “This is the hardest part of the application process, the waiting time.”
I called this time of day as recommended by others in this forum. As mentioned, the wait was about 1 minute after all routine prompts.
@phlilpnze , that's quite informative. Will do the same. What i syour AOR date please?

I just got off the phone with an IRCC officer. Criminality and Medical passed since July. Eligibility and Security not started. I doubt I’ll be receiving the golden email anytime soon.

I am from India and i have tried calling from TextNow app and hangout but no response. Do you have to be in Canada to be able to connect through this number?
How to call IRCC from India
- Install TextNow app, yes the purple colour app icon
- Register with a Canadian area code to generate a Canadian phone number for yourself. I used 416 but got a number with 647. Refer this https://www.allareacodes.com/canadian_area_codes.htm
- Tap the call icon to invoke keypad
- Paste this number +1 (888) 242-2100 and call
- Key inputs : 1>1>2>2(Application starting with E)>enter your application number followed by #>1>YearOfBirth>1>1>says “unable to verify”...wait...>0>says your waiting time
- Put on speaker mode and cook an omelette while you wait for your turn. I had to wait around 30 minutes. The music is quite nice.
- Agent greets in English and French and introduces herself/himself.
- Asks your name. Reads out your phone number asks to verify. Asks your DOB, country of birth, to say your communication address, UCI.
- Asks your query
- Puts you on hold
- Answers your query very politely and with full of hope. You’ll know what I mean when you speak to one.

Hi guys,
I raised a webform last week asking about my status and this is what i received in pdf file.
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the
following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if

You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
STEP 2: DETERMINE IF YOU NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT(S)
