    When you are sending in the electronic version does it matter if the form isn't signed, but the paper version was signed at the end?? Sending mine today and not sure what to do!

    Hey guys sorry if this has been posted already but I just want to make sure I do things right the first time around (prob be asking a few more of these over the next week!)

    Do I need to get a medical? I know that I am not from a designated country (I checked) and am not in the list of occupations they give. I am qualified in environmental science so would I be better saying that I need one? And if I need it do I need to get it done before I send off the application? Thanks.

    If you think you may need one, then get one I guess... but if your not working in something similar to the designated occupations then your probably fine...

    You send off your application, then there is a bit of back and forth, and hopefully you get approved and moved on to the phase after payment... then they will e-mail you asking you "do you need a medical"...

    Hey guys. Anyone else STILL waiting on a payment email? I sent my app on Jan 13th. Received my letter of receipt on Feb 8th. Haven't heard a peep from them since then. Very annoying as I am in Canada at the mo itching to get working ASAP. Anyone in the same boat with the timescale??

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you, sent app on January 9th, received receipt on Feb 7th and still nothing yet.

    Even worse for me - I'm working here being paid cash by my nice bosses but don't know how much longer they'll do this for me. Need to get my SIN up and running again ASAP!!

    Oh man! I've been trawling through this thread and there are people who have sent their apps later than us and have already paid their fees. Frustrating to say the least! Congrats on getting a cash in hand job, I've resorted to volunteer work just to keep me busy :P Hate working for freeeee :(

    Hey, is anyone else waiting over 5 weeks just to get a confirmation they received the application at all? I sent mine from New Zealand (here on a WHV) Jan 19th, it got there 23rd (tracked online and signed by a Mr Jean at the other end) and today is Feb 28th and still nothing. Stressed is not the word.

    So, let me get this straight...

    I print off all the applicatipons forms on this link:

    http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ireland-irlande/experience_canada_experience/application_guide-guide_demande.aspx?view=d

    complete them and send them off to the high comission along with a copy of my passport etc...

    I also need to send an electronic copy of my application. Is that done by "validating" my PDF files, at the above link or should it be done elsewhere?

    Many thanks peoples

    Hey following this thread a while now and theres a lot of info,my applicaton was delivered on the 26th of january and on monday (20th feb) it was sent back to me saying it was a citizenship problem and to reapply.On the letter they had highlighted to go to www.ireland.gc.ca and apply from there,i must have downloaded from the uk iec web even though these forms are the same but the barcodes obviously didnt match,did anybody else have this problem or am i just the stupid one?!!need help here!And when you reapply does your application just go straight back to the bottom of the pile?If anybody has any info it would be much appreciated
    Heya...the exact same thing happened to me. My app got sent back to me last week so I just downloaded the forms under the Ireland website and just copied everything that I had in the UK form to the Irish one. I resent everything back like I had done it before so hopefully there wont be any other problems because I was waiting about 4 weeks before they sent it back. I'm guessing it's back at the end of the pile because technically it's a new application. Best of luck with it! :)

    Iec/ireland make sure its the irish part you are on, follow the instructions 1 to 9 fill them out then print them out make sure you read the instruction manual before you start to ask questions. You only need to send an electronic copy when they ask you.

    The forms they are using appear to be shared across a few different types of visa applications, so anything you're unsure of, just put in unknown

    This can't be stressed enough... read the checklist on the website. If you have everything they ask for, they will not refuse you for missing out on something.

    Ensure you really read the forms carefully when you fill them out to ensure no mistakes. You do not need to sign your photographs..

    Did you give them proof of funds? I just got my bank to issue me a statement and I popped that in at the back :)

    Don't need to include proof of funds :confused:

    Just put in what is here and for god's sake will someone put a note in the title for people to read the damn instructions before posting their questions in here! Must be the 5th or 6th time I've posted that link.

    No signed pictures
    No proof of funds
    Just whats in the link I posted!!! That's it!

    Agreed. People need to learn how to do things themselves. You do not need proof of funds. It even says on the accompanying notes that you don't.

    Just read exactly what's in the guidelines and checklists for the IEC IRELAND.

    Nothing else.

    Ya put in unknown but where it says steps 1 to 9 read down along that page and there is also some good informaion there.
    The most important thing to do here imo is read the instructions a few times before asking questions and after you have filled out the forms read them over and also get someone else to read them over, make a mistake and it could cost you an extra couple of months waiting time.:mad: Dont even know yet if ive made a mistake though,waiting on my payment mail.:mad:
