hmmm well I've been following a group on Facebook, Canada IEC 2012, and someone from IEC seems to be replying to some posts on the group so maybe chance your arm and contact her through that maybe??

I have done already, still waiting on any response other than 'keep waiting', though.

Thanks guys, just needed somewhere to vent:)

So i had just started stage 2 for the IEC and when i started my CIC account this came up.


Just wondering if anyone knows what to do?
Based on the information you provided, the result(s) below indicate whether you may be eligible to come to Canada.



We used your answers to see if you may qualify for any of Canada's primary immigration programs. Based on your answers, it appears that you are not eligible to immigrate to Canada at this time under a federal program.
It is possible that a change in your situation could make you eligible (for instance, if you want to study in Canada you may become eligible if you are accepted into a study program). Your specific situation may alter your results.
You can find out more about requirements for studying, working or visiting Canada on this website temporarily.
Most provinces have special programs to help people move there. In most cases, you must already have a job offer, an investment plan or work experience in the specific province. The rules for application are different for each province.
Many provinces also recruit workers based on labour shortages. You can check the websites below to see which skills are needed in each province and if you are eligible to apply.
(Note: these programs are limited in numbers.)

To save yourselves hassle, would it not be easier to create another cic account and upload everything again?

Cream Bun

I dunno, im afraid to look back now at this stage, it was enough trouble trying to upload the family forms etc i was so relieved when they uploaded successfully, i cant face the thought of having to go back and start a new CIC.. the same thing will prob happen again,, someone must know.. surely its happened to lots of people??

I got that when I electronically signed with just my christian name and surname. I then did my christian name middle name and surname and it was fine.

Anyone know how i should go about electronically signing the mycic forms?

Additionally, how can i provide the police form? Can i scan that and upload it as well?

Why are you emailing them? Once you create the CIC account you upload the PDFs to the website

1295 and/or 5707/5645. Some people filled in the 5707 and got LOI and some the 5645 and got the LOI

Everything is digitally signed at the end. Have you got you police clearance? just scan it and upload it to the correct section on your CIC account

I took a picture using a digital camera against a white or light coloured background.
I uploaded the photo to; http://www.idphoto4you.com/

select canada and dimensions 3.5 x 4.5cm, select print size single photo, upload photo, crop it, select 600 dpi quality and select and wait for download link.

Thanks for putting this up- really helped. Can I just ask-did you make any amendments after the upload? For example, I erased the other 3 on the page in Paint and uploaded just the one photo instead of 4- but I noticed this reduces the file size below what the requirements state...
