CANADA 2013 IEC MEGATHREAD

canadia · 2012-02-25 10:35:12

Hi All, We're planning on heading to Canada via the IEC in 2013 for the year, hubby myself and kids - our big adventure!

Not a clue mate. But I would say if you set up a seperate Uk account you should be ok. Once you never got a WTN I cant see any problem.

Thanks very much for your help johnny. I mite register using a different email just incase it causes any issues registering with the same one.

A WTN is like a queue for people to be accepted with a visa or not right?
I think there was a lot of people who completed their Kompass accounts in the first round but were not able to submit since it was after 8:15pm. surely their WTN will be a lot lower than mine if I have to register a new kompass account again from scratch?

I was going to suggest using a different email;)

Once you get your WTN you are in contention for a visa. It doesnt really matter what number it is.

I've done a search, but can't seem to find an answer. Does anyone have any idea how to put seven photos into one file, and save it as less than 4mb? I tried it with PDFs and am stuck with a giant 33mb file and no clue how to shrink it. I'm on a Mac....Please? x

Hello,

I have submitted my IEC application 4 days ago and I have not received any information regarding the payment of fees to the IEC.

The only message I have is one that tells me that a payment is required, however there is no information on where this money is to be paid to.

Could anyone tell me where i need to pay these funds to?

I have sent a number of messages to the IEC however i have received no response so far.

Is anyone else in a similar situation?

did you register and submit to the irish IEC last night? the irish one has been closed for quite a while now. you only are asked for fees if you are given a WTN - and only those with a WTN are considered.

Also is the payment information simply an account number and a sort code? If so could anyone provide me with this information? I am desperately trying to push this visa forward and its frustrating to have no response from the IEC.

I've applied to the UK IEC, which opened on the 14th i think.

I have received a WTN and a message telling me that the fees are required. Just no information on where they should be paid to.

Hey Cream Bun ,

Is your pdf still open ?? Validate it , then save it , then close it and then upload it....

I was trying to upload mine while it was still open and it was giving me guff...make sure its closed!
Do you have anything for the postcodes section ??

I feel your pain though.
Took me the guts of a day to upload everything yesterday.
Its an absolute mess of a system , everywhere you look.
