Here we go... This is the process I followed:
> Got my COPR and passport last week (27th July)
> Called the helpline for getting an appointment (@ Etobicoke location) -- 30th July (as the customer service work only Mon-Fri)
-- It took me multiple tries and a long wait to reach the correct agent; Also, I have been told that it would take a week or two to just get the email notification about my appointment date and time;
> Surprisingly got an email the very next day -- 31 July with the appointment date as 7th Aug
Not bad at all as I was really concerned about the flagpolling process, wait time and especially didn't want to have admin refusal @ US border;
FYI - I asked the agent to give me the correct extension for all our benefit;
Call 1-888-242-2100 for booking an appointment; Once you select the language of your preference, use the following number to reach the right extension: 2-2-2-6 (I chose 6 for OINP, but you can pick any number and you would be connected to the right team);
Hope this helps and good luck with your PR approval!
