Phone (from within Canada): 1 888 242 2100
Phone (from outside of Canada [block caller ID]): 1 613 944 4000

I asked them to tell me specifically the lines I put there (visa office, medical, criminality, security, eligibility) as they have them in their system. Otherwise, they talk in general terms like "background check" like the EE portal does. "Background" = security+criminality, but if you ask specifically, they will tell you.

If you dial the 613 # outside of Canada, you can use these options (wait until it's ready to accept an option): 1 1 1. Then you'll get transferred to IRCC (the same as the 888 # inside Canada and you'll hear a male voice). Then you can use options 2 1 1 0 to get to an operator "fast" (it's the family sponsorship information menu tree but it goes to the same phone operators).

If you follow the tree normally to get info about your application, you'll have to enter your application number, date of birth, and listen to a long read-out of its status before you get to get in a phone queue, and 2/3 the time it will just say "we're too busy. call back later" instead of putting you in a queue.

This is the one I used..
This still works.. so follow the instructions to the T and you'll get through to someone in 20 minutes..
EDIT : I used Google Hangouts and called from outside Canada.

And remember.. no matter how frustrated you might be.. it's still a person doing their job at the other end.. so be nice to them.

All the best

How did you order your CBSA notes? I don't recall the name but there were some other notes too to check for security screening.

Can we see how many of us are left here now on the table?

Hey,

only CBSA and CSIS notes can confirm SS.

The link to the table is in my signature, but it hasn't been updated for a while. Would anybody like to skim through the last 20-30 pages to update cases? Drop me a line, I'll share the access.
