Hey guys, I sent my fee in on monday and got a receipt of proof of payment...im still waitin on hearin whether its been sent to the U.K or not...
I saw that most people heard the following day after paying

should i be worried?

I just got the mail today to say mine has been sent to London, and I sent off the proof of payment on the 3rd, so will take around 6 days. No need to worry!

Passed phase one of IEC application and my application was sent to London, just recoeved mail today from Canadian Embassey to say now it has been rejected. Im HOPING this is a mistake???????

what?????? how long between gettin the e-mail saying passed and gettin the refused one?????

lillieme

bout a week im gutted I dont understand it.. has this happened anyone else?? Could it be a mistake??

red menace

It's probable down to the shear volume of applications
I read somewhere that there are 14,00 visas allocated for France so assuming there is high interest there that's an awful lot of processing and checking
It's bound to take so long
Does the FAQ not quote for the process taking 8 weeks in total?
It's still early days people

gdmaestro

cool thanks, i started panicking when i saw people heard 24hrs later! crisis averted!

Did you require a medical because of a health condition or was it related to jobs you wanted to do ?

lillieme

For jobs, hopin to teach, prob shouldn of bothered puttin it down, tho dont think we had to send on medical certs, cos think they were gooing to give a list of where you can get it done if you are successfull..

niva*sis

So you have no health condition, you passed Phase 1 & they knocked you back in the visa section London for no obvious reason ? I am presuming if you are a teacher, all your police certs were clear so this is very very scary. If you do not mind me asking what did the refusal email say & when did you get it ?

lillieme

The thing is I got the email from the Canadian Embassey in Paris not from London even tho my forms were sent to London last week for Final check. They said after checkin my details I was missing some items but thats not true cos I couldn of passed first phase if I was missing items. Make no sense at all?? They sent a form to reclaim my payment
What do you think of my situation?

lillieme

only got email this evening..

Ok - so it seems that your file was NOT actually sent to London then ?

You got the mail that started

'We hereby confirm that your proof of payment of the International Experience Canada (IEC) participation fee was received at the Youth Mobility Unit of the Embassy of Canada in France on 02-02-2011.
We will now undertake a final verification of your file. If everything is in order, we will forward it to the Visa Section at the High Commission of Canada in the UK for the second evaluation phase. '


but not

We are pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted by the Youth Mobility Unit.
Your file was forwarded to the Visa Section at the High Commission of Canada in the UK today for the second evaluation phase.

Would that be right ?

Before they send the file to London they do that last check & maybe that was when they decided to reject ?

Also, they will send you the file back & you still have time to re-apply so all is not lost. Once you get the file back you can correct whatever the error is & try again. It would be worse, much much worse if you were rejected by the visa folks in London.

lillieme

This is what I got last week:
Your file was forwarded to the Visa Section at the High Commission of Canada in the UK today for the second evaluation phase. If your application is accepted at this stage, a Letter of Introduction will be sent to the email address that you provided on your IEC application form. (No paper copy will be sent.) If you use an anti-spam filter, please configure it to accept messages from the following address: london-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca. Please also check your spam or junk folders to ensure that messages haven’t been filtered out.
If your application is rejected by this Section, you will receive a letter by post explaining the reason(s) for the refusal and the Youth Mobility Unit will automatically begin the reimbursement process.

Wow !!! So your file was sent to London & now they are saying there was stuff missing ? I don't know what to say / write. Does anyone else have experience of this ?

But do not worry too much, you will get the file back & you can re-apply

lillieme

Yeah making no sense to me at all.. thats why im hoping its a mistake?? If this has happened anyone else please let me know? Or those who HAVE the visa let me know too. Gutted now

I totally understand how you feel - I would be fuming. This whole application process is a level beyond stressful.

Did the refusal email give any detail at all ?

My heart goes out to you - this does not make any sense to me. Perhaps someone else could shed some light ? Why were the missing items not highlighted earlier ? This is frighteningly awful.

Thanks for your understanding.. My boyf is out there at the min I just wanna get out to him....

No worries. Try not to get too upset & relax. The file will be back with you in a few days & you can re-apply once you know what the issue is. Moreover, I would say you are not the only one who will get a mail like that unfortunately.

This process is mental - I have never been through anything like it. Have no fear though & do not give up, you will be having fun in the snow before you know it

Thanks hopefully I will

A medical examination is not generally required of persons residing in Ireland. However, persons residing in Ireland who are destined for occupations for which the protection of public health is essential must pass a medical examination. This includes working in hospitals or healthcare facilities, and working with children such as teachers and care providers or camp counsellors. Food handlers are not included in this group and a medical examination would therefore not usually be required. If you have answered in the positive to questions 7 on your IEC application form, you may also be instructed to complete a medical examination.
If a medical examination is required, then the Visa Section at the High Commission of Canada in the UK will send you the appropriate form, instructions, and a link to the CIC website where you can review a list of approved practitioners
