Hi there,

I've applied under express entry from the US. I contacted IRCC via web form two months back and I was told that my application is being processed in Montreal.

I received AOR on 13th June, 2019 and passed the medical on July 18th, 2019. This is what the status looks like:

Review of eligibility
  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results
  • July 18, 2019 You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents
  • We do not need additional documents.
Interview
  • You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics
  • July 25, 2019 Completed.
Background check
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

It has been seven months now. How do I know which stage my application is in? Has my background check even started or not? A lot of people on this forum have contacted IRCC via phone call. Since I am based outside Canada, how can I contact them via phone.

Have you tried calling IRCC? That's how I find out what stage my application is in. I ask them about the status of criminality, eligibility and security.

How do I contact them via phone call? Since I am based outside Canada, which number do I use to call them?

You can call on 1-888-242-2100, but you need a Canadian phone number. You can download the TextNow app, and choose a Canadian area code. If you let the app use your location, it will give you a local area code (so not a Canadian number). So, when the app asks you to use your location, deny it and put a city in Canada (or just find area codes on google). This is how I call them.

For those who have recently obtained PPR, what does "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" imply? Am I still in the initial stage (i.e. IP1)?
