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

Ok looks like I will have to, how do i create a new CIC account? do i need to re-register for the gc thing??

yep you basically start a fresh and just upload all your documents again. You can revoke your initial gc key so there is no confusion. Just make sure you use the full name in your passport when registering for the gc key.

just click register on the my cic after clicking new gc key sign, register will be underlined in a few sentences down.

ok so do I delete the online application thats 'in progress'? cause everytime i go into the register section it automatically brings up my email address and application and there is an option to delete it? just wanna make suer before i delete it..

Just received LOI/POE last night!! Get in!!! Thanks to all people who contributed to this thread, it has been a great source of information.

Has anybody that has received their LOIs gone yet? The letter does not say anything about the length of the visa, just give a date when it has to be activated by. Do they just issue the 2 years when you arrive at the airport?

So as far as I know, I just need to get insurance and flights. Is there anything else?

no LOI yet, when you heading and where to?

This waiting for the LOI is a pain in the arse. Still at least everything's submitted and hopefully correct.


Also trying to plan to get there for the end of May, where I have a few friends who are heading to the US for a few days. Since it's pretty straightforward to go from Canada--->Us and back. Then I'll get stuck into the job hunt once I'm back, I guess

Heading to Toronto, I lived there before and didn't want to leave but I was deemed ineligible for the visa last year based on the habitual residency clause. I will probably head this weekend coming. Just checking flights here, fairly expensive flying from Ireland. Air Transat from Gatwick is the cheapest, but bit of a pain to have to fly to London first.....

JustRoss23

your heading this weeknd? what a hero:D:D

Ah, to be fair I lived there before for over 2 years and have a lot of friends there so it's not that big of a move for me now. When I went there first, I didn't know anybody, and was tough enough for a few months until I got sorted with job, apartment etc. Best thing I ever did though!!

JustRoss23

yea exactly what i am doing with calgary good to hear it worked out for you hopefully the same will apply to me;)

No job lined up over there yet, but I work remotely for a company at the moment so I will hopefully continue to do that for a while over there until I get sorted. I work in IT which is a good industry so fingers crossed I should get something sorted fairly quickly....

I am nearly there but of course another problem, anyone shed some light on this, ive tried putting my name and middle name in the given name section but its not working either way aaargh.....

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.

So does anybody have any clue about this???
I tried my first and last, then my first, middle, and last name. No luck
I then reapplied by making a new GC key making sure my full name was on it, and still it says there's a problem when i try to submit my forms!!
I've literally been at it for about 4 hours now and no luck:mad:
