Can i suggest e-mail, when I was checking on certain items having arrived safely I e-mailed my case officer just ensuring the information was everything she needed, I always got a response within 48 hours. The only time I phoned DIMIA I was fobbed off and never got through to my CO, this was a couple of years ago so it might have changed, but good luck I remember the frustration only too well.

Well I think I tried about 15 times and did do the 2 and 0 thing, but then it would ring and then just cut off!! So gave up, think I will go down the email route and then if nothing will try to ring again!!

Fair point, she might keep them gabbing, only joking. Why not try tonight on the off chance, someone said they do overtime on saturdays so you never know.
