What is the most common way that CIC contacts you?

[charloux]

Hello,
I was just wondering, what is the most common way that CIC contacts people? I, being the sponsor, have only been contacted via post. So far, no emails and no phone calls. I don't think I will be contacted by them anymore, but how will my husband (the applicant) be contacted? Do they tend to call for interviews, email, or contact the applicant by post?

Thank you

I think it depends on the VO and why they're contacting you. My husband got his PPR via email through London. The only I received from anyone was my approval of sponsorship letter via post from Mississauga.

In what circumstances would they call?

In my case, the VO phoned me when replying a email that I had sent.

This is a very good question which I have been mulling about for a while. We have only been contacted in writing by mail so far:
Sponsor approval,
AOR with file number stickers
Letter waiving interview, saying docs are complete, confirming medical was done but awaiting results being sent to Buffalo.

SO, given all of this, it seems like a lot of people get the PPR by email - should we expect that or would it be more likely to come by post?

Thanks!
