CANADA 2013 IEC MEGATHREAD

HS123

Hey guys,
Just wondering what people are doing with the Family Information Form, do we print, sign, scan, upload? or upload it unsigned? Contradictory instructions on the website!
Cheers!

Hey , with the IMM 1295 form under the intended employment section you have to name an employer and dates you will be workin with said employer etc but i have no job lined up so do I leave this blank??

AE56

Can anyone help me, my husband and I are hoping to travel to Canada with iec 2013, he has been offered a great job all we need now is a visa! Due to him having three driving convictions he is inadmissable but we have been told he can apply for a TRV (temporary residence visa). Does anyone know anything about this? Anyone know of good companies that could help us with IEC application along with TRV?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, wondering if ya's could help me out on a query?

I have set up MyCIC account and completed the 'coming to Canada' questionnaire.

In the 'Upload Documents' section in MyCIC, the documents I will have to upload are:

1) DAFIT Notice-Partcipation Acceptance Letter.
2) CV.
3) Medical Examination Declaration (I will be working in the Social Sciences field).
4) Passport.
5) Digital Photo
6) Family Information Form IIM5707
As well as the IMM1295 Form.

Does anyone know why it is not asking me to supply a Police Certificate?

JustRoss23

are you in canada already? in my cic account it says police clearance:)

Good question!

I was in court for drunk and disorderly 8 years ago. Court result was a non-conviction. On the Police cert that I got back from the Gardai it says that I do not have any record on their files.

In the 'coming to Canada' questionnaire, I ticked the 'no' box when asked if I was convicted of an offence (I can't remember how it was worded).


Thanks for the replies so far.

But even if someone ticks the 'no' box for 'have you ever been convicted ...',
You would think that they would still ask for the Police Certificate to make sure.

the following is taken from IEC Operational Bulletin 490 - January 11, 2013

Police Certificates:

• Mandatory police certificate for IEC from requiring countries (see Appendix A) was not triggered automatically in the initial Come to Canada roll-out. This functionality will be added in the rollout scheduled for the end of January 2013.
• For this reason, officers are instructed not to return applications missing the police certificate as incomplete until after April 1, 2013. This will accommodate any applicant who obtained their personal checklist prior to the implementation of the automatic trigger.
• Prior to February 1, 2013: Officers and clerical staff will have to request the police certificate as an additional document in order for client to be able to submit it electronically.
  After February 1, 2013: The police certificate will automatically be included in the Unique Checklist based on the country of citizenship (see Appendix A).

Thanks for that Archicraft.

do you wait for a email when you register for the GCKEY log in? then when you get that, you can go ahead with the (part) of the apllication

JustRoss23

no when you do the come to canada questions you should have been issued with a number like a personal identification number which you use when u register for GCkey you can do that without waiting for any email you just need that identification number from the come to canada questionnaire.
