7am EST Telephone Call from CIC/IRCC New Delhi Office

[newcecapplicant]

Good morning folks~

This morning about 5 minutes ago I received a telephone call from a lady claiming to be at the Quality Assurance Department of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi, who knew my name and that I was applying for PR.

She asked me what I was doing in Canada at the moment and I said waiting. She didn't ask me anything else, and put down the phone. Does this sound normal to you especially given it was 7:15am? Its just about 6months since I submitted my EE-PR application. It's an FSW application.

thanks

Probably a scam:

If she calls again, tell her you are recording the conversation and have her phone number - and are going to report her to the police.

Just to add - you have valid status in Canada - yes?

In other words, you are waiting in Canada under a valid work permit, study permit or visitor visa?

Thank you Scylla. I have a telephone number from her too, and when I call it back it goes to Voicemail, saying this Brad person is either snowboarding, skydiving or doing something else that is awesome... Eh... She sounded like she was from India...

I've pmed you.

I'm sorry - I'm not a consultant/lawyer and don't offer private advice.
