CEC already in Canada, have canadian experience and, probably, working full-time. So it's only logical to process CEC stream faster.

Hey,
Can anyone please confirm the telephone no. or the e-mail which can be used to contact cic ????
PHONE # 1-888-242-2100 (IVR option : 1 - 1 - 3 - 1 ....)
Outlanders can call through Skype
EMAIL - CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

These days getting more information out of them over phone call. You can ask the status of eligibility, criminality & security and also inquire about office handling your case currently. They have been answering these questions to most of us.

Recently they don't transfer all calls to agents and some agents don't give status info; out of an experience. :(

Ya, we just need to keep trying. I called twice in last 10 days and was able to get all status updates both times. You can always try ...worst is you won't get any info out !

Yes i am not doubting that...approved means all cleared. I am only trying to say that until you receive the email you cannot proceed for visa stamping and landing. It was just for the sake of timeline...if email is received after few weeks of approval then it will change the time taken for PPR. No doubt you can be happy about the approval but you cannot proceed further... just my 2 cents :)
agree. :)

Hey buddy congratulations on ur case approval. Did your file move from CIO Sydney to CPC Ottawa? When did this happen ? Is CIO Sydney ur primary office?




A month before as my bg check moved to NA if I remember well. They have been generated at the same time they were finalizing my file in ottawa.

It was in Ottawa a month before approval. This is when my BGC status went to NA if I remember well, and a month after, the officer validated it.
From my understanding, there are batches every month, either you go forward or you stay where you are depending the stages of completions. As an example my background check was nearly complete by the start of IP1, and nearly a month passed to go to the next step.

If I understood you clearly, are you saying that CIO did the whole processing as in criminality, eligibility and security check and only transferred to Ottawa to finalize?
I'm asking because the officer I spoke with last time said my VO is Ottawa but my file is yet to be moved. That the whole process might be done in CIO and sent to CPC to finalize. Please confirm by checking your GCMS note. Can anyone that have gotten GCMS note confirm this also?


You are right, I still haven't got the email but in the GCMS notes I can see it being in the "print queue" on may 26 as well as the information for the CBSA to validate the visa.File was finally approved in ottawa on the 25th. Actually my file has been waiting a full month to be reviewed in ottawa as it was already complete from sydney lastmlonth as I could see. Now I expect the email to arrive early next week, crossing fingers.
