Ugh I called the CIC office. They are aware of the pilot scheme but as usual the guy on the phone does not know a lot. I asked him "well if i respond as soon as they ask me too it would still take at least 4 days before I get the CoPR right? And chances are I won't have it on Monday for my call right?" and he was like "well..."I think the office is the safest bet -- because you are required to sign your COPR.
I found another thread about this new pilot scheme. Looks like a lot of people are getting this telephone landing invite but only a handful of them actually gets the CoPR on time for the call. It also looks like that if you do not have the CoPR before the call they do not entertain you on the call and you get bounced back to conventional office landing.
Good idea. Poor execution. Honestly I'd rather get a landing letter asking me to go to an office that's a lot easier compared to this shit show.
