me and my room mate just discussing that is cic call agent record the conversation when we call to them

my opinion is no

but his opinion is yes

he said for the training purpose they keep recording and if anybody said bad world or shutting with them so they can take action with this audio recoding

because if call agent wants to put complain about the conversation he/she need audio prove

what you guys thinking is he correct

I beleive no, because to record a conversation, one needs consent of the other party.

The call can NOT be recorded unless stated to the calling party - legal requirement.

As far as i know..most call center they record...we r the one calling to them...so legally they can record..and they usually says that the call may be recorded for training purposes ..i may be wrong..

From my experience of working in a call centre, It's a legal requirement to seek consent before recording an ongoing conversation, but in exceptional cases conversations can be recalled if it is deemed to be of public interest. Those CIC agents are not employed directly by CIC, they are like agency workers but possess the required skills to work for CIC

Whats the purpose of the questio if I may ask? We can probably discuss the root cause and present our solutions rather than beating around the bush.

Canadian system is very professional and I can certainly say that they will ask for the consent prior recording. Its not rocket science.

Pretty sure it's recorded. In the initial recording they play when you call they tell you that calls are recorded for training purposes. Same when you call any service provider, bank etc.

Sounds like someone was exceptionally rude to the call centre worker and is now regretting that choice.
