IMMIGRATION OFFICER-CALLING TIME?

[charmainefrances]

Hi! I am wondering what time an immigration officer phones? (silly question, I know! ) I know for a fact that they use a blank/ unknown number to phone. I know some people here got a call from IO and approved them (1st stage-AIP) by phone...

Yesterday I missed a "call" from an unknown number and it was 4pm... It's a little bit late but just hoping it's the IO...never phoned back.... so now, my cellphone is just beside me... patiently waiting for the call and hear some good news!

As for when I got a call from Immigration, Goverment of Canada showed up on the phone and the first time I missed the call it was about 5:30. The other times it was like 11:00 or so and yes I did get approved after those call

Thanks for sharing that information but I don't think it's the IO calling you. If it's government or any legit business, their phone number or company name should at least show up on your CID, not withheld or come out as UNKNOWN.

I used to get calls from unknown phone numbers before and most of the time, they're only telemarketers, solicitors or collectors. For one, I don't owe anybody any money. I also don't buy from telemarketers and I am on DNC. In addition to that, I just don't trust charity foundations. You donate $100 and only $1 goes to the needy. The rest, $99, goes into the solicitor's pockets. So what I do, it's either I ignore them or if I am bored, I pull up pranks. I get my prank tips from the consumer complaint site called CALLERCENTER and boy, they sure are effective!

Hi!

I have been following this forum for the past few weeks, but never had anything relevant to post.  I'd like to thank everyone for been so helpful with each other, and creating an amazing group.

Today I got a call from a blocked number, did not answer until the third call –three-to-four-hour intervals between calls-. It was CIC, informing me that I have been approved for second stage, and will be landing this Monday. So, if you happen to receive a call from a blocked number DO NOT IGNORE THE CALL, as it may be CIC delivering good news.

Wishing you all the best,

A

So there, just hoping that I'll hear good news just like this one!
