I registered with the gckey, which brought me to MyCIC and reistered there. I then done the 'coming to Canada' questionnaire, and then got into the 'Upload Documents' section of MyCIC.

I didn't need to do it I got straight into the upload documents section after answering a few questions about myself!!but I didn't do the coming to Canada thing like

I think you will be ok. I am sure the 'coming to Canada' section isn't compulsary.

did they ask you for your personal checklist code to apply?

If you grew up in Northern Ireland, have an Irish passport and now work in the Republic of Ireland, do you have to put Northern Ireland as a previous country of residence on the application?

are you refering to Q.8 of the IMM1295 form?

archicraft

if so its only applicable if it was in the last 5 years & for more than 6 months

i never got any personal checklist code?

i got into mycic through the gckey option and got as far as uploading documments.

dmags

Yes question 8. Fair enough I'll have to put it in. Thanks!

Ya know this question....



Do you plan to work in one of the following categories?

Athletes and coaches
Aviation accident or incident investigators
Business visitors
Civil aviation inspectors
Clergy
Convention organizers
Crew members
Emergency service providers
Examiners and evaluators
Expert witnesses or investigators
Family members of foreign representatives
Foreign government officers

why exactly are they asking it?? I am hoping to get an internship as a reporter (all my work experience currently is in architecture though) but I'm afraid if I answer yes they'll make me get a medical or something.........


EDIT: or maybe is it just if I was from RTE looking to work there... as opposed to working for a canadian station... gaaaah!!

ManFromCheese

id say if you answer yes they will make you get a medical that costs about 300e, if i were you id just answer no.

if you go back to where you got them they may still have your image on the computer and they should put it onto memory stick for free

I'm reading all the stuff on this thread, then I look here and I realise the thread's all BS until the page this links to changes.

Anyone got a link to prove me wrong?

I have to agree with this. Of course it feels good to get a head start on things but I'm more comfortable waiting for the real instructions to be released before I do anything!

Just noticed two things.

The family information form up for download seems to be the wrong one. It says on the bottom



I checked my paper work from last year and it was IMM5645 i filled in then.

I also got that form. I clicked on the IMM5645 form and had a look over it, it just has one or two more questions. I presume all will become clear when it actually opens... I hope

Type "Unknown" in to both fields.

Then did you leave the rest of it blank when it asked for employers address/job title etc.

Hey, where would you recommend for that? A pharmacy? Where did you get yours done if you don't mind my asking?

Many thanks
