Their lines are almost always busy.
Try the following: Dial the Call Centre's number wait a little than press 1, wait a few sec., press 2, wait and press 3. If you get the message you mentioned, repeat the above steps again right away. I was able to reach CIC 3 times this way. I usually have to try for about 4-8 times before I get through.
Good luck! :)

I called them in July at different times. You can try to call them in the morning when they open their lines. People said it was easier to get through early morning.

well, I suggest first you improve your English before seeking citizenship or perhaps contacting call centre!

I started keeping a log of my calls this week. 
 
Total: 50
During day: 14
Between 7h55 and 8h15: 36
Mon - Wed: 26
Thursday: 12
Friday: 12
English: 42
French: 8
Success: 0
 
However, while TYPING THIS, I got a message that current waiting time is more than 30 minutes, so I guess number 51 might get me somewhere.
 
CIC made a mistake on my work permit that is preventing me from obtaining a medicaire card. So this is very frustrating. I've lived here (and paid the taxes) for eight years.
