If this is on the usit site might be worth a call to them to see if they have had any other reports

Thanks very much for the advice, after sending the USIT website an e-mail asking them why it wasn't working, i got an e-mail back from the general manager telling me to try register through the comprehensive package rather then the basic package and worked straight away. I have now registered through the comprehensive package but have the option to go ahead with the basic one, which I intend on doing.

Their must be some problem when trying to register through the basic package at times. So if anyone else has the same problem just e-mail or ring usit.

Just booked my visa for canada 2011!!

Would anyone have a rough estimate of the breakdown in the cost of flights, insurance etc..

I havnt looked at flights yet, but insurance the best I can find so far is

http://backpackertravelinsurance.ie/#

1 year, there are 2 options, €165.99 or €195.99.

Hope that helps

P.S. If you are planning on doing winter sports it comes out at €204.99 or €244.99

I can't see it on their site easily, does that winter sports cover the entire trip or just a month?

Have you still got the original email with the links on it? If so just click the second link and it will bring it up again

No, once the application has been received in france(like mine has), that link no longer works, instead giving a message "You've already downloaded the kit"

Its in the web address that you click on,
After php? in the link you will see 8 letters then a "=" sign. then you have your number straight after the "=" sign. It is the first "=" sign not the second.

Is anyone on this thread already in Canada and applying for their second work permit?
I'm wondering would it affect my job to go from my first visa to a new one?

BangBeater · 26-01-2011 10:57am

If anyone is organising this on their own rather than through USIT, who are people using for travel/medical insurance and what's the cost?

louisejscott · 26-01-2011 11:04am

Hi BangBeater
I've looked into Backpackers insurance and VHI worldwide (backpackers) just need to confirm hospital cover

Backapckers is 215€
http://www.backpackertravelinsurance.ie/

VHI is in the thousands so needless to say I won't be going with that option!

JONJO THE MISER · 26-01-2011 11:15am

Rang usit a few places left, wont be able to book it until 12noon at the earliest until i get to town, i hope i wont be too late:(

no, i wouldnt even put that in

had the mumps myself years ago

Re: TechnoPool
Don't the Canadian authorities check for false information on applications?
If I don't put it in and they check my medical history on my application it surely would be rejected straight away.

Did you apply for a Canadian visa yourself and not include it in your application?

JONJO THE MISER · 26-01-2011 5:49pm

All usit visas for Canada are gone, went to apply at 12.10 and they were all gone, this is just great:mad: i only found out that i could get a second year visa last night and i didn't have money in my card until i went to the bank this morning, typical just my freaking luck, trapped in this country for another bloody year now:(

red menace · 26-01-2011 6:04pm

Jonjo did you try the direct route through the IEC?

louisejscott · 26-01-2011 6:19pm

Hi Guys Q6 on the application forms: [FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold]

No but will have to now, just put in for my Garda check today. Any of ye guys think im too late to apply by next week?

red menace · 26-01-2011 7:36pm

You might as well, all it will cost you is the price of the stamps and passport photos..

durrrrr · 26-01-2011 8:00pm

I wont be able to apply for my visa until about the start of april as I wont have the money in my bank account until then...would you say there will still be some of the 5000 visas left by then? Or will it be too late?

Demo2011 · 26-01-2011 8:12pm

Could you not get someone in your family or a close friend who has the money to fill out the 'third party form' to put through with the application then save like crazy to have the money yourself by the time you go ?

Ye I did think about that but I dont think its a runner to be honest. Would you say there'll still be visas if I apply in april?

red menace · 26-01-2011 8:20pm

It's hard to know there does seem to be a rush on Visas at present.
It may even out to a trickle and there may be a number that get rejected so there maybe a few remaining at that stage, but it is really a how long is a piece of string kind of question
All that can be done is to keep an eye for updates on the website.
Else keep saving and go next year with twice as much!

Demo2011 · 26-01-2011 8:21pm

I wish I knew. There seems to be a lot of interest in them & only time will tell how quickly they will go. Keep your chin up !

Well how long did it take for all the visas to be taken last year? That would be some sort of guideline. Also how long is a piece of string?
