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!!!

What about the signature? Do we print out the form and sign it? Or is it a digital signature? If its a digital signature how do we do this?

Thanks!

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

This varies for each country, and depends on the embassy or visa office that issues the visa.
On the CIC website it says Irish immigration applications are processed through the London embassy. It also says that the average processing time is 2months, or 8weeks.
However there are some embassies listed that state that the process takes 4months. I would look up the site and see which embassy the Polish ones are issued through.
I think there are only a small number of polish visas issued each year, so perhaps they are processed quicker than ours.

From this it would suggest Poland average is quicker than london by 1 month

Thanks:) It doesn't give any info on the polish/canadian embassy, because it's still closed. But in the previous years it took aprox 1-4weeks.

We have only 650 places:( I'd say it will be pretty hard to get a spot but fingers crossed!

So did anyone get LOI yet? or maybe it's waaay to soon...

Heading to Calgary if everything will go according to the plan

Cheers

Yes a limited number of people that uploaded their documents on the 7th of feb have received their LOI about a week later.
I would add that this speed is probably not going to continue as the office is flooded with more and more applications.

Oh good. Well apparently there is only 1 lady whose working in the IEC section in Warsaw, it should be fun so

It really takes ages for us... UK was opened on the 14th, well the first round anyway. 1000 places gone within 3 hours. But I think Irish people were the fastest ever!

Well I have nothing else to do...just wait and wait

Ignore the signature, I think you will get a chance to do a digital signature at the end of the whole process before submission!

Does anyone know if cic work weekends?! Did anyone get a Loi letter today? Thanks

I have uploaded everything except for the 5707 form and the police cert. I didnt digitally sign yet(do I have to before uploading the application?) In the 5707, I am trying to save it to my computer after editing and then upload it but I cant because of security restrictions, do I have to print it, sign it, and scan it to upload it?

stage 2 submitted ...thats that

danny2013

yes u have to do exactly that, with a black pen, u can date it online before u print, date and sign everything. even if it doesnt apply to you, for example: i dont have kids but i still signed that part. then you just print it sign it and scan it like u mentioned

I'm just in the middle of answering the questionnaire before setting up the cic account , and just came to the, "Have you ever committed, been arrested for, been charged with, or convicted of any criminal offence in any country?" question. I've been arrested only once in my entire life, about 11 months ago, for sitting and drinking in a parked car while being over the limit,(stupid I know) and now have to appear before a judge in march being charged with the "intention" to drive under the influence, (the whole thing is complete and utter bollocks btw, I had no intention to drive whatsoever and am just as against drink driving as any other person), I still haven't applied for my garda cert, I know I should be honest, but I'm afraid this is going to **** up for me. Should I just be honest and say yes, wait until after the court date or what? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You dont have a criminal record at this point so I would just say no. Apply for your garda straight away and it will also state that you have no criminal conviction. But, you should prob really wait until you have your garda cert before uploading any docs as the dates on your uploaded forms will be different....

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!!!!!!

what the hell are you talking about?......
"keep putting the folk through that don't have any jobs yet"

you're the type that shouldn't be allowed to go on a working holiday visa. so let me guess, you had a job set up before you went? and now you want to extend for another year or 2? be honest, you don't wanna leave at all. there's nothing worng with not wanting to leave a country that you like so that doesn't annoy me. what annoys me is that you applied for the wrong visa. get a standard working permit or marry some big hairy canadian builder to get permanent residency and stop your whining. a working holiday is supposed to be temporary and you're only supposed to work to fund your travels. everyone deserves an equal chance.

You sound like a little child with that post get a grip man for god's sake what do you want a medal that you pay tax's in canada whoop dee ****ing doo:rolleyes:. canada owes you nothing the same as it owes the next person so i don't see why you should get a place before me or the next joe soap on the list. your post suggest's you have only been in canada the last 8 months so whats the rush you still have 4 months left on your current visa?;) and i do have a job offer actualy i have a couple but the visas will be issued when there issued writing posts like yours wont hurry on the process:D

And as for the random pub your on about the ROADHOUSE is its name and i will buy you a pint when i get over buddy;)

Op i see you posted at around 10 am Irish time so it could be be between 3 am- and 5 am canada time.. did you go out for a few and come home and the emotions got the better of you ? and decided to post that message?:p

hegarty147

Yup i wouldn't worry about it it seems somewhat random, remember seeing something whose number was around 500 not done while people in the 1000's and even higher were done. They will get there eventually.
