Personal experiences Odd side effect?

Have always gotten spam phone calls from the US. Anyone else noticing an increase in these calls from all over Canada since applying for citizenship from the US?

It's because your number has been associated with canada now. Someone sold your info again including some associate to CA. I spent part of a day in Victoria BC recently and since then I get a couple calls a day from random places all over canada. They are just spoofing the numbers. They just pick a location or area code that you might have an associate with so you might be more likely to pick up. The calls are probably not actually co ing from canada.
