CANADA 2013 IEC MEGATHREAD

noodle24

That's what I took from the initial announcement, that if you had two IEC visas you couldn't reapply but the old WHV is different. I have read all the terms and conditions on the IEC page but they are not specifying anything pre 2011, they only mention IEC. I don't know if I should withdraw my application or keep going. I do know that I am stressed

i would say bate on with your application if they have nothing stated its not your falut your lucky you will get two years plus the 2 you have already done it works out well for you 4 compared to our 2:D

I am afraid they will bar me for three years because of their whole "knowingly or unknowlingly" providing incorrect info!!! Are you on your second year now?

JustRoss23

Hi guys,

Just a quick query. People seem to be a lot further on with their applications than me and, initially, I thought it best to just wait and it out and not to worry but now I'm concerned that I'm missing something.

My payment was verified last Sunday (3rd Feb) and I received the letter on Monday (4th Feb). However, it says everything is locked in my Kompass account. Is this normal? Am I just literally waiting for one day for all this to say open so I can proceed with my application - or is there anything I haven't done or am missing?

Is the MyCIC account the thing you get once you get passed the stage I am at?

Oh, and I'm in the early 4000s by the way.

Keano!

^^ same boat as me, and i'm mid 2000's

No, everything stays locked. You will receive a conditional acceptance letter in your kompass inbox soon, once you get it you need to upload that to your cic account, submit everything, then you should receive an application number in a message in your cic account shortly afterwards. You need to enter this in your profile section in your kompass account. The conditional acceptance letter will have instructions anyhow.

Your cic account is where you upload your police cert/passport/cv etc You can set up your cic account here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/mycic.asp and start uploading your stuff now and filling in the forms while you're waiting for your acceptance letter. Choose to register with GCKey button.

Hey Guys just wondering in stage 2 what family form did people fill out? the one that comes up automatically or the one you have to click the link at the end of the page to get?

Thanks

Common sense and a bit of logic will tell you your number has nothing to do with when you'll get your letter!

bell13

Ya i filled out the first one aswell and only after realising there was another one! they will just tell us its the wrong one and to fill in the other one? might delay the process a bit but wont stop us from getting a visa?

Below, Taken from the IEC webiste, from this i would assume they are indeed issuing letters in order of wtn. Any delays there are may be because of delays in uploading information.

'Once you have submitted an application by using IEC Kompass, received your World Tracking Number (WTN) and paid your participation fee, IEC will start assessing your application against the program eligibility criteria. IEC will assess applications in the order they are received.'

'The IEC applies the principle of "first come, first served" for both assigning places and processing applications in each stage. If you are taking more time than another applicant to pay your participation fees or to submit your application to Stage 2 (MyCIC), other applications may be proccesed before yours.'

Just about to start filling out forms, what is the difference between the 2 family forms?

The one that comes up first only applies to certain countries, scroll down to the information at the bottom and it says if ur not from these countries click on a link and fill out a differnent form, no difference really accept the second one asks about brothers and sisters i think.
