Once you know the job dates you'll be fine, not entirely sure how strict they are but if you're fairly on target with them I doubt they'd refuse to let you into the country if you said you finished a job in May instead of June or something like that... There's worse mistakes you could make!

Hope so, would be a pity if I was refused on that basis!.

Thanks for the help.

I have been asked to submit the code from the "Code to Canada" survey but cant seem to find the place to do it. I have submitted my application so don't want to start the process all over again.

Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?

Ask that shower for your username and password so u can log on and do it urself.. from what I can gather they are just logging onto the same system as everyone else, they can not guarantee u a visa or speed up the processing time regardless of how much u paid them.

Hi,

I few questions regarding CIC:

What family info form is everyone filling in? That IMM5707 says its for passport holders of South Africa etc, and I'm obv an Irish passport holder

Also, application form IMM1295... are we supposed to have a job offer before we get into Canada? I can't validate the form by leaving information about the prospective job blank. What did you do to overcome that?

Thanks,

Niamh

Great that I finally got that part solved, now another snag in this crappy process. Now when doing digital signing i get:

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.

I dont know where this is coming from!!!!

Hey man, did you ever get past this?

cuterob

when you get the POE letter what happens then? is that it? you just show up at your airport of choice in Canada and hand in that letter along with proof of having insurance and money in the bank etc?

but there is nothing more to be done now? no more uploading or doing anything online?

JustRoss23

yea thats the process done mate:)

I applied within an hour of it going live and already had my Garda certificate ready as well as my other docs, I assume that's why I have my permit already.

gunty23

What does UCI stand for on the IMM1295 Application form and where do I find it out?

So I just received my POE, but one thing I notice that seems to be different from others who've posted here is that I only have one year to activate my visa, not two.

It says "Permit Validity: 2014/03/05"

Just a warning to anyone who was thinking of putting off going there for over a year... Wonder why my activation period is only for a year but others get two years
