How to call IRCC? Impossible to get in the line!

[ott-613]

There is automatic message “ we are currently receiving higher than expected calls, thanks for you patient, we know it’s important to you, try online status “ and drop the line.

im so frustrated and out of patience, how can i reach to IRCC? What is best time to call to get through the line? I feel there is no one, just automatically rejecting all calls by default

Have you filed a complaint against your office? Try that also.

Prepare more than 1 phone.

Use the first phone to call until you had your line "dropped".

Immediately use the 2nd phone to call them and do the same thing. -> repeat previous step

If possible, have 3 or more phones ready to do this everyday.

This trick worked for me brilliantly.

My first phone got "blacklisted" for the day, but the 2nd phone got through and I was able to talk to an IRCC agent.

Try calling at 8am. I was lucky once got through at 11:20 and stayed on the line waiting for like 45 minutes before I spoke to an agent.

I'm so confused because when I called ircc I even had option to put down my phone number so they could call me back. They called back in 10 minutes

This is new.

I called them on Apr 1. Even if I waited on the line, it said waiting time was 11 minutes . That was my first time calling them to ask about my application

First off I'm glad your idea/suggestion managed to work but are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that the person get '3' phones? For the love of god.....

Getting through to them is an absolute bloody nightmare, I've done the old be there at 8am sharp and don't give up or aim for such and such a time as peak traffic dies down but never ever got through.....so yes maybe I should've used 3 phones but come on.....are you helping or asking the individual to take out another mortgage (as you know phones aren't cheap and especially in Canada + tax don't forget!)

Just sent them an email it'll be easier but if you have time keep trying the line.....I personally wouldn't say get 3 phones.....just throwing in my few pence for what it's worth

Cheers

I called twice over last couple of weeks , had to wait about not more than 10-15 mins once I got through. 2-5 attempts each time and got in the queue, both the time it was around noon.

Called the 1 888 number several times this morning and there isn't even a dial tone when trying to connect? Is this normal?

Sent some docs via a webform yesterday, for some reason they requested medical exam results again which have already been submitted and approved for a work permit. I think this if for the PR card as I noticed a different UCI number. Confirmed with my panel physician yesterday that they have been sent this info. Of course, no link to upload docs. on the actual IRCC portal so I had to submit them with an explanation via the webform. This incompetence is insane, but not surprising I guess.

Where to send an email?

 

[Dalboy1980]

Where to send an email?

use any or the correspondence that you've received and send them an email...

 

[Dr. Walden]

IRCC is a mythical creature. You cannot reach IRCC, call them, or email them. They don't have an office or a physical building you can go to. You cannot make an appointment with them. When you are ready IRCC will present itself to you.

i would thank this post, i tried 3 times, and got the drop line...i am very disappointed and willing to give up. but as somebody suggested ,you have to non-stop trying. Yes, i did that, after 4 more times trying, i got in the waiting line. 30min waiting.
pary for the best.
