What is so happy about it?

After the weekend, agents are back at work; there will be some movement in our applications..maybe..

I checked my profile today..no updates. Background check hasnt started yet.

 

[EE456]

Sure, will do. I have submitted the reference letters which i got from my colleagues, but did not get it notarized. I have submitted pay slips, offer letter, promotion letter for each of the companies I have shown in my work history

These should definitely help, maybe a bit longer processing time but eventually all should go well.

I want to know my VO so I can have better approximation of when to expect PPR so I can plan my future travels.
The number does not connect from states, there is no waiting line to speak to an agent.
It makes you go through the entire process and then disconnect at the end with a message that I cannot be transferred.

Can someone tell me a good time to call or maybe better way to connect to CIC?

I dial *67 and the number (without the +1). It blocks the caller ID and goes through.

it worked but any idea about the best time to connect with them? I couldn't go through because of higher number of calls

I am in the same boat. I applied from USA as well.
AOR: Sep 9

IP2: Nov 7th

I also cannot connect to an agent from the states.

Actually my friend applied with me, and her timeline also look exactly the same.

Seems like the pattern is very much same for many of us who applied from USA.

So I am assuming that we will all get the PPR mail together, hopefully soon.

Do you remember which number you called at from states? Everytime I call the number 613-944-4000, the call do not go through.

I spoke to a IRCC agent over phone.

I finally got through to the agent today! I tried couple of times before but never was transferred.
Today he told me there is no VO for application and many offices work on the application! So probably just wait haha

I think that is what @Peacekeeper87 (or maybe some one else) has been telling us that there is no point in knowing the VO. It made sense when the applications were paper based. Anyway, I never bothered to check the VO. My patience skill which I learned & practiced from the years of "H1B to green card wait" is paying me back. ... However, the wait is killing me!!!

Yeah I was only curious because there’s almost no update for like a month now.

I wanted to know my VO so I could approx when I would receive the req. I have some travels ahead for which I’ll need my passport. Anyway it is true! Being in the States has taught me lot of patience lol

I begin calling from the USA at exactly 6:00 am MT. That's 8:00 am in Ottawa. The last time I called I connected after my 3rd try or so and had to wait for 21 minutes.

Haha. Thats so true. I have travel plans too for february, just holding off from making any travel arrangements for now. That coupled with the fact that I have to go for H1B stamping while I am out in Feb sometimes makes me feel crazy, but keeping my hopes high.
