USCIS Launches Immigration Inquiry Mailbox for Canadians

WASHINGTON— U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced the creation of a general inquiry mailbox for customers in Canada. Currently Canadians cannot access the National Customer Service Center through the 1-800 number to ask about general immigration questions. Canadian customers may now inquire about general immigration information at USCIS.Canada@dhs.gov in addition to obtaining immigration information at www.uscis.gov.

The creation of this mailbox signifies a major step in USCIS’ outreach to Canadians since the dissolution of the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) Ottawa office in 2003. ¬For more information on USCIS and its programs, visit www.uscis.gov.

It was probably a blessing that they couldn't reach them

Seems like a good idea, at least in theory. Maybe it will help relieve Montreal from having to answer constant immigration questions and inquiries. Or, maybe it will just be a bureaucratic mess of misinformation like their hot line...

I think this is a great idea ... even though they will probably take ages to respond. At least USCIS recognises they should have a customer service option available to Canadians.
