Been trying to call the 888-242-2100 number to see if I can get a status (The application was received 11/22 but no AOR yet). Verizon (calling from the US) keeps giving me a "this number cannot be completed as dialled". Anyone got it to work from the US? (ECAS isn't showing anything either - nor can I link on GCKey)
Try calling on +1 613 944 4000, let it go through the menu options and choose immigration, it should put you through to CIC with no problems.
