That sounds like a great idea dude, i think also the way to meet other people will be what i am doing is going to try and get back into GAA and join their club over, they are called the Calgary Chieftains, great way to socialize with people i think

i am smoking 40 fags a day now i plan to give these up and make a return even if its just for the exercise and as you said the craic is mighty even just for the training:D

I have seen that the Canadian Visas have been closed by everyone
without a WTN number. This is highly unfortunate for me as I have
spent hundreds on a third party vender and now the application has
been closed. I have signed up for my Kompass account about 3 weeks ago
and was only waiting for my Irish Passport to be renewed to finish
this off.

It is due to arrive tomorrow. I am asking for my options here, I had
no idea they would run out so fast.
Is there nothing I can do here? Will more placements be offered due to
the high demand?Caan i go on a waiting list.
Am I eligible for the Skilled workers Visa, as I have been employed by
an IT company for the past year?

I would really appreciate any assistance here. im gutted

Has anyone still had issues with the proof of payment?

My friend in Canada is literally at his wits end and was told to re-upload his proof and and has tried to contact the IEC again and again but still no response.

Hi deadline is the 8th so as you can tell, he is a bit stressed.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys

I got verified for the IEC Assessment yesterday but I still have not received an email detailing the next steps yet. How long were people waiting for the email after they had been verified?

I believe the next stage is now for me(when I hopefully receive the email) is to create a CIC account and then Canadian immigration will assess my eligibility. What exactly do they assess in this stage? I guess it would be the police certs, but what else do they look at?

Thanks!
