ok just got mine to work
thing to do is: go back into your saved PDF and change evey blank field (excluding labour market number and extra phone numbers) to 'Unknown'.

I was able to upload mine after that

Ill give this a go thank you.

For anyone stuck with the application, I would recommend reading ripcord's step-by-step guide on p233 of this thread.
Very detailed - thanks mate!

Sineadoc1

Saw a few people were talking about the driving license earlier, I was told that simply upgrading your license to a global one makes you able to drive in Canada, any truth to this?

I have a full license!

yes but only for a year and then youd have to sit the test:eek:

like i said, i had the same problem, but just filled in all blank fields with unknown. i only filled in one telephone number (mobile) and left the labour market number blank. i also left the postcode blank for the address.

once i did that, i was able to upload my application form

take a deep breath and go over the form again. you might have made a small mistake somewhere. you have LOADS of time to sort it so don't panic

good luck :-)

Sineadoc1

Ok i will try breathe now haha thank you serious thankalso did ye have an UCI number?
Did you save onto desktop or were you able to directly upload the form once it was filled out?
Seroius thanks for the advice really appreciate it.

No, I didn't have a UCI number.
I amended the form and validated it again. Filled out date at the bottom, then re-saved it to my desktop.
I was then able to upload it to the CIC site

Shalamov

By the way, forget about uploading the form as a word document, it's unnecessary

Id say you should deffo put it in. In the employment section you should have filled out that you were travelling/working in Australia for that year, otherwise its a big gap.

The oz police comes in a week and a half, id get it. Its easy and all done online. Heres the link:

No worries, the advice I got was to fill out 10 years of all employment, unemployment and travel so as not to leave any big gaps.

I just created a GC key account and its asking me do i have a UCI or client ID number? is this the WTN? i presume its not. so do we say NO to this is we have never applied before??


Before you enrol in MyCIC, you must indicate if you have ever applied for a service (e.g. a study permit or work permit) either by paper or electronically from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

If you have applied before, then you will have a Client Identification Number (Client ID )also referred to as a Unique Client Identifier Number (UCI). You can find your Client ID on any official document (including a work permit or study permit or official CIC letter) issued by a Citizenship and Immigration Canada office, Case Processing Centre or Canadian visa office outside Canada.

Your Client ID consists of four numbers, a hyphen (-) and four more numbers (example 0000-0000).

If you have never applied before, you will not have a Client ID.

If you have a Client Identification Number (Client ID) and you do not provide it, you will not be able to apply for all available online services.



Do you have a client ID?

Hi lads!

It's finally open for polish people whoop whoop well since 15.30 today:)

I have my IEC Kompass account sorted, payment as well. Hopefully I have filled out everything correctly!

On MyCic account, do you first download (save) files from it, like Family Information etc then fill it out, and upload it? Am I right?

Whoat about that digital signature? How do you do that bit?

Thanks a million folks:)

JustRoss23

read back through the this thread and all your questions have been asked many many many times;)

Surfn

could somebody actually explain the digital signature, am i right in thinking its where you print the forms out, sign them by hand, scan them and upload them. i might be wrong

izzykov21

Well I looked roughly trough the posts, and I couln't find it anywhere...

300 pages of reading- fun fun fun

Thanks anyway

JustRoss23
