I have the same problem... and I'm not sure should I ask for another cert or just upload this one?

In the come to canada questionnaire thing there's a question "Have you visited or lived any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year?" I'm unsure what this means. Is Ireland one of these countries?

I was wondering myself about this question... It doesn't give a list of any countries #confused

Anyone?

use this site

http://www.idphoto4you.com/

select country canada, photo size, select print size as single photo, upload your photo, crop it, and wait for download, let me know the pixels and photo size kbs after you done this.

thats a good site gary, i just tried a trial run there on a pic that was on my desktop. the sit gives you 4 pictures together at the end, i cropped 1 out, the pixels are 414 x 532 and file size is 135 kb, i might not have 1 photo out of the 4 correctly.

''wait i see where it says single photo now''

from the print size drop down there is single photo option try that.

Hi Izzykov21, not sure what to do either!
Anyone have there application in and accepted without their middle name on the cert?
I already had to go back to the Garda to be another because it was too old and then again because it they incorrectly filled it in for Australia, if they see me coming arriving in there again!

Oh I think I got it Is it the countries which require medical examination, isn't it? Like Iraq, Afganistan etc ?

Well Ireland and Poland don't need that medicals so I tick ''no'' is that right?

:rolleyes:

JustRoss23

mine came back with no middle name on it either so i decided to send for another one to include my middle name. but i can really imagine it to be a problem i just had time to spare that's why i sent for another one:D

hdowney

Mine was the other way round. My passport has first/last on it, so therefore so does my application. My garda cert has first/middle/last!

Whenever I try and sign the document for step two it says:
"Your answer is incomplete. Provide the necessary information below to continue.
The name, date of birth or country of birth you entered for your signature does not match the name you entered in your Online Application. To submit this Online Application, the names must match. Only the applicant can electronically sign this Online Application."

I don't understand what could be wrong- my name is the same on all documents and in the signature and the signing form doesn't ask for a date of birth or country of birth. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hey folks ,

Ive literally spent all morning scouring this thread and using the search function and I still cant find an answer. I feel a touch retarded for this but I cant figure it out.

I got the conditional acceptance letter , all good, and it tells me I need to go here..

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index-can.asp

..and answer some 'Come to Canada' questions.

Except , they're aren't any there.

Now maybe they're called something similar but I don't see anything by the exact name of 'Come to Canada'. Jaysus, why is this whole fecking process so convoluted ?

Anyone know what to do , or where to go next ?? The whole thing is as clear as mud.

Would I be right in saying also that once you've got to this stage the pressure is off ? It says that the conditional acceptance is good until 2013-8-11 , though you never know with these things..

JustRoss23

type come to canada questionnaire in to Google and it comes up

Hi All,

I have all my documents ready to upload but one of the files I am being asked for is offer of employment. I do not have any as I have no job lined up in Canada yet.

Does anyone know what I upload as I cannot leave it blank?

Really need to figure this out so any help is appreciated,

Thanks a million.

Mate , Ive looked ( 150 pages ?? ) . Kinda hard also when your boss wants you to do real work also!
Theres an awful , awful lot of stuff to look through , to find something like I was looking for really is needle in haystack stuff.
Genuinely found nothing.
Search function threw up nothing also.

Its been stressful.

I forget the security answers that I entered for my Kompass IEC account!! :-( - I thought that these would just be used for resetting a password and I guess I didn't really pay enough attention to what I was entering as I knew I would not forget my password. I now discover that you need the answers to these questions in order to add your CIC number to your account. I have emailed IEC regarding this but still have not heard back from them. Is there anything else I can do regarding this?

Any help would be great, very frustrating to get this far and then get blocked by something like this!!!

type unknown in prospective employer and employer address, leave province and city/town blank and enter unknown in the address field. and type unknown if unsure of occupation in canada will be. enter your intended work start and finish dates. make sure this is realistic. leave labour market opinion blank.
