An applicant asked for the correct IRCC phone number to call, both from within Canada and from outside the country.
What the group shared:- From Canada or the U.S., call 1-800-442-2342.
- From outside Canada and the U.S. (international), call +1 613 773-2342.
Practical takeaway:- Use the toll-free 1-800 number if you're calling from Canada or the US; use the +1 613 number for international calls.
- Double-check the number on IRCC's official website before calling, since one member reported the international number connecting to an unrelated agency (Food Authority Canada) — numbers or routing can occasionally be misdialed or change.
- Have your application/UCI number ready before calling to speed up the process.
