INLAND APPLICATIONS 2015

[Neee]

Question: you called cic twice in 3 days...and it seems their answer was completey different. Did they query why you're calling again? Does it appear in their system that u called?

I don't think it appears in their system.

I called twice today.

The first time a lady took my call and absolutely refused to even look at my file. She asked me whether I have called before regarding this inquiry, and when I said yes, she said to wait for a response from CIC.

When I called again (20 mins later) a gentleman picked up, I told him I am inquiring regarding my OWP and it's been 4 months. He didn't ask if I called before but was kind enough to look it up and gave me the good news . So I guess it depends on the person who answers.

Congrats!!! Glad CIC is not sleeping

Thank you

 

[Neee]

That really is good news, congratulations!!! Hopefully, this means the note on the file from yesterday may have helped? Who knows.

I think so too. Thank you

Similar story as Neee for me. I called on Tuesday and the CIC agent advised that OWP was issued the day before. Application received at CIC on July 31st, 2015. Relieved!!!!!

Has anyone noticed about this......?

Every time someone called CIC asking about OWP, if the agent said it had been issued, it must be "YESTERDAY". So it is possible that this happens by chance, meaning their cases were issued "YESTERDAY", it is also possible that those agent could flag it and somehow speed it up if 4 months has passed.

I have been reading this forum for long time and this is what I saw, does anyone agree with me?

Yes they can flag it if 4 months has passed, which was my case. And I assume that helped in them approving my OWP.

I have been able to log into ECAS since I received my OWP. The UCI on that lets me see my ECAS updates

Hi Km9203,

That's good! Because a few applicants were not able to access their Ecas. You got lucky!

I'm well past 3 months and haven't heard a peep and no ecas assess using PA's UCI. As mentioned, look at the spreadsheet to see the various wait times.

Several of people that has passed 4 months since their OWP application received, called the CIC for a follow up. I thought that was great for CIC office to received notes regarding the 4 months up. Then they will look into it. My husband said we should make some noise in case they forgot/delayed or something like that.

Isn't it bad that we could get various response from different agents. Unreliable customer service. To think that we may or may not get answers depending on who is picking up our call.
I think next time if I call, I want to ask the name of the agent that picking up the phone, and if I sense any condescending tones
been used, I want to file a complaint.

Hi jenny..how many months you wait for your OPW?

 

[Akohsi]

As long as she meets the age requirement, you can sponsor her later.

What is she's 20 that time before they grant me PR.
