Tis a nice feeling when you have worked in the country for the last 8 months and paid alllllllllll the different taxes, yet you are left hanging at one of the most earliest stages.Thanks Canada, you're really making me real ****ing appreciated! Keep putting the folk though that dont have any jobs yet, but keep talking about some random pub in Calgary, thatsssssssssssss the way forward!!!!!!

Wondering could anyone give me some advice,

I am having trouble uploading the IMM1295 form. I have filled it out thoroughly, but it won't let me upload it, it just says "your document contains invalid entries"

I have redone it many times, and looked through my form in great detail but there seems to be nothing wrong. It lets me validate it and all, but just not upload

Any help would be greatly appreciated, its really frustrating!!

thanks in advance

Type "N/A" or "Not Applicable" into the fields under the section called Details Of Intended Work In Canada

Select your province > Select your city > Address = Not Applicable (ONLY if you do not know the address of your future employer.

Job Title = Not Applicable
Desc. Of Duties = Not Applicable

Only if you're not aware who your future employer will be.

That should fix the problem.

Thanks so much, that seemed to work for me. I still put in my "intended work" in canada, but instead of my 'description of duties', I simply put in Not applicable, and it uploaded fine!

Much appreciated pal!!!

Applied for visa online roughly about two weeks ago with my partner. She received an email requesting proof of payment within a few hours and I have received nothing. When I log into my account it says that the application is submitted but there is no field for uploading your proof of payment. My partner has made her payment and uploaded proof and this has now been verifed. I am starting to get really worried..... have sent to emails to the IEC from the messaging service in my account. But still have had no reply !!!! I was planning on going out ahead to set up etc as soon as possible. Has this happened to anyone else??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I had my payment verified on 31/01/13 and I am still waiting on word from the IEC. What is the next step, a conditional letter of acceptance? Is there something that I should have done after my payment was verified?

Surfn

just to clarify this the 2 forms needed for a single person IEC application are the IMM1295 & IMM5707, arent they ?

danny2013

yes those are the two you fill out and send. imm1295 has to be validated first before u upload it, it will show bar codes at the bottom after you click validate. fill out 5707 and put in the dates, print it out and sign it with a black pen ,then scan it , save it, and upload it to ure cic.

danny2013

all you do is wait, thats wat i did and i got verified after couple of weeks

Hey guys I was thinking of using the IMM5645 family form instead of the 5707 one as it contain more information and is better laid out?

it doesnt matter which you use, people have used both and both received their LOI already. So knock yourself out

thanks, you see the 5707 form where it has yes and no ticks for the applicant you tick yes correct? your hardly accompanying yourself .

Just an FYI in case anyone else is having this problem too - I couldn't download the IMM1295 Application (the main form in stage 2) to fill it in for ages, tried it on all different computers, updated Adobe, everything! Finally got it open today on Safari (the Apple browser) and I had been trying Chrome,

So anyone who can't get the form to open, updated a Adobe and then open it with another browser - not Chrome.

Got my payment verified on the 4th of Feb and no conditional acceptance yet but it has only been 2 weeks so not worrying!

Hi lads:)

My name is Izzy, and I'm polish. I've been living in Ireland for a good few years but it's a decision time now Canada is my next stop (hopefully)

I have to apply through Poland, and the application haven't started yet for us (the joys of being polish haha) but I'm fallowing this topic (from time to time) just to know more about the whole process

My plan was to go at the beginning of April, but coz the whole thing is delayed so much - I'm not so sure any more

Is there many people who received their Letter of Introduction? Just being curious how long does it roughly take

Thanks and good luck 2 everyone
