Hey Kat,

So my WTN is 7040, Im on the 'waiting list', I very much doubt that many people are going to be rejected. I have had 1 IEC before.
seeing as I also have a UK passport, could I apply to their IEC when it opens??

I have been out of UK since 2006 though?? Any info greatly appreciated!!

dannyf

Is anyone else 'awaiting quota availability' for their IEC????

Cheers mate that worked perfectly.

Yeah it's just the 2 forms plus the supporting documents listed.
IMM1295 Application
Family Information Form IMM5707
IEC Conditional Acceptance Letter
CV/Resume
Passport or travel document
Police Certificate
Digital Photo

You also have to have done the online questionnaire on MYCIC though and have gotten the personal checklist code.

That's the lot.

Hi folks, I'm not at that stage yet, but I could get my photo ready if you could share the details of that.
Is there a spec? pixel requirement? size? colour/black & white?

Digital Photo

Dimensions:
The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8" x 1 ¾").
The photographs must show the full front view of the head, with the face in the middle of the photograph, and include the top of the shoulders.
The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31 mm (1 ¼") and 36 mm (1 7/16").
Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/Resolution:
If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File Format:
The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
File Size:
The final size of the image should be ideally 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.

Colour:
The image must be in color (24 bits per pixel) in sRGB colour space which is the common output for most digital cameras

I have a friend here from Calgary, she loves it here and probably wouldn't move back.
I get the impression Calgary is wealthy, lots of restaurants, much colder (!) and busier or more populated.

Halifax is a small city, smaller than Dublin.
It is a university town with 3 unis here so there's lots of young people from a NS and Ontario in particular. The culture is very laid back, that's nice.
Nice restaurants, plenty pubs, nice activities (thousands of lakes here so you have to try kayaking in the summer and skate on them in the winter!) Skating is huge in the city. Halifax has the best hockey team this year too and the tickets for a game are $15, which is brilliant. I've been to nearly 20 already, it's a good substitute for the hurling! I like it. I've been to Toronto and Montreal, which are completely different so it's really what you're looking for.

Thanks for the reply what kind of wage would you need to be on to live comfortable would 20$ an hour be enough? yea i know it has some great fishing to halifax looks to be a great spot:D

I think it's a bit on the expensive side, to be fair.
Groceries seem dear, but cars and petrol are good value, clothes are good too, but the taxes are a devil!
To enjoy it, you'd want closer to 30 per hour, in my opinion!

My WTN is in the 6,900's. Im here in Canada already. I hope we find out soon how many they will issue. It's horrible waiting.

How far are you down the list?

I'm applying for my second visa from Canada. I have a police cert dated from the day I left. I applied for it a few weeks before but it arrived the day I left. This was back in september. It's now more than 3 months old. Any chance they'll accept it seeing as I've not been in the country and couldn't commit any offences? Or will I need a new one?

I enquired about this and they told me that when you're in Canada, you don't need a police certifitcate. Hope this helps.
This is what they said exactly:

You do not need to re-submit your police certificates as long as you are still in Canada when you apply to the 2013 initiative.

You never need to submit a Canadian police certificate.

Yeah It may be possible to scan and use passport photos but you'll probably need picture editing software (e.g. photoshop) to resize and or rescale them without diminishing the picture quality too much
