Guidelines to call IRCC CIC from US

[legbird]

I wasn't trying to rush them on medical. I just wanted to make sure they received the furtherance letter reply from the panel physician.

I really don't like that furtherance requests come via email only. There's no trace of them in the Express Entry portal. If it had gone to spam... I don't want to think about what would happen. Seems nuts. All communications should be in the portal, in my opinion, with an email to tell you a letter is there, just like AOR, etc.

The furtherance request said we had 60 days to comply, so I just wanted to make sure they had it and didn't need anything else from us at this point.

The system is somehow not functioning well in this way LOL

This is what I followed:

Call +67-613-944-4000 from Google hangout dialer.
67 masks the ID.
These are the menu options.

1- English
1 - Immigration, passport, VISA
1 - IRCC
Call transferred to CIC.

1- Check processing
1 - application
2- become a PR
2 - application starts with E
enter application followed by #
1 - to ensure what your application is correct
enter date of birth
1 - to ensure what your application is correct
1 - to proceed to status
0 - agent

If you call at the right time, then you get transferred to the agent and out in queue. If the call volume is really high then you may need to wait.

Dial this number from US - *67 613-944-4000 . Use Google Hangouts for dialing. It works 100%.

*67 is basically to mask the caller identification. It will help from getting disconnected because you dialed from outside Canada.

Works perfectly.

Works perfectly. +67 didn't work from hangouts. I used +1 instead. Thanks for the information.

It's *67, not +67. The 67 isn't a country code. It's to disable caller ID. If you don't have a Google Voice account, you probably don't need to dial *67 anyway.

Hi, I called and entered my application by following E when they asked but at that moment they says "No Data Found", what does that means I am worried its 61 days to me since i did my first landing.
Appreciate your quick response.

Use options 1-1-1 to get to IRCC and then 2-1-1-0 to get to a rep without entering your application details. Instructions are in my signature.

[ryeCatcher]

Are these instructions working for those from US? I keep getting disconnected or told to use webform without getting to speak to anyone

I have raised a webform for my query but I would really love to speak with someone at IRCC, guess it is not possible from US? But online it seems people are able to using Skype or Hangouts ..

After seeing all the tips and tricks we tried all those. But none of them worked! May be its working for people trying within India or other countries. Not sure though

These instructions no longer work since Global Affairs no longer transfers to IRCC.

The good news is that you can still call. Get the TextNow app and do not let it auto select an area code. Use 416 for the area code and it will give you a Canadian number. You can then dial the 888 IRCC number using data/WiFi in the app from any country.
