It must be something else.

Yeah doesn't make sense to me either. This is just what I'm hearing from others who say they have been sent emails from CIC saying their application was rejected for this reason. I would think there must be something else that caused it but information from CIC has been all over the map it wouldn't surprise me if they rejected people falsely.

I'm also paranoid because so many others who submitted after me have already gotten their POE letters. I guess no news is good news for now.

yeah I know, like if there's a mistake on a form they would surely give you an opportunity to resubmit. For example with mine I forgot to attach my UK police cert with my Irish one, so they just emailed me a couple of days later asking for me to submit my UK cert.

Just be weary as some people are just very bitter over missing deadline and being in que and trying to confuse people in to making a mistake to open a chance for them.
As for people after you getting POE before you don't worry they don't seem to have any sort of order and it random order

Hey everyone, I'm still having problems here. I've filled out all the forms and everything but when I go to sign the document it won't let me! It just says:

"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've gone over the documents so many times I have it memorized and it still won't let me sign it. If anyone has had this problem before and knows what I can do then you would be a life saver!

Hi Podge22 - did you get this sorted? I am having the same problem but have figured out where i went wrong - I input given name as my surname and family name as my first name - I revoked the GCkey and started from scratch, ive input details correctly now but it still saves the name backwards - was this what you done? Ive emailed CIC but they take about 2 weeks to get back with an answer.

Hey all,

I wonder how randomly they ask people for various police certificates. What I mean is I sent off my application with only an Irish Garda Certificate. I've participated in the IEC once before, and in the past 10 years I've also spent a year and a half living in France and a year in New Zealand. All this was clear in my application, but I chanced my arm.

I got my POE last week and didn't get asked to provide any additional police clearances.

Anyway, good luck to all with the on-going applications, looking forward to heading off in May/June now!

Anyone who would do that should be ashamed of themselves (that is, if it is happening, I sincerely hope it isn't...). Everyone deserves their chance to go, and in the case of this it really is first come first serve, and while I'm sure people who missed out might be feeling bitter, that's no excuse to turn to sabotage... :mad:

I imagine the procedure for the POE assessment is similar to that of the payment verification or the conditional assessment. There seemed to be no order to that, there's no need to worry just yet... Assessment can take anything upto 8 weeks, and the whole programme hasn't even been open for 6 weeks yet...

And for those whose visas are nearly up, I THINK (just think) that you're eligible to stay in the country for a further 90 days after the visa expires... Don't take me up on this as gospel, you'll have to check it out, but I vaguely recall someone being able to stay a few months extra while they were waiting for the LOI to come...

Muffinman1

Giggii I know it's vile but people are desperate to get out of here and as JustRoss said it dog eat dog. But I think your correct on 90 day grace as after visa expires you get 90 day holiday visa as if your tourist I presume but not sure if this entitles you to work.

So heading to Regina on Tuesday canni wait, its been a long time coming but thank god its nearly here now, anyone else heading that way give me a shout, Ross you should start up a thread for this big meet up so anyone that wants to meet up with that wolf pack of yours can keep tabs of when and where it's happening, would be great to meet up with a few a friendly faces over there,
for every1 that's still waiting keep the chin up we all had to go threw the pain and strife of it, it's a **** but have faith it'll happen and it won't be long till you's are jetting off, just an FYI about the insurance because I need to come home twice in the next 2 years I could not get a single insurance policy, I went threw sta travel and what I did was worked out my dates I'd be coming home and got 3 separate insurance policy's it worked out a tiny bit more expensive but it's worth it to kno that Ill definatly get my 2 year work permit

In order to do this, what ya do is to apply for an extension to your work visa. While this is been processed you have something close to 3 months to continue working on in the country. Even if you know your work is not going to offer to sponsor you or anything, you might as well do it as it will keep you in the country. So the best thing to do is to wait until your visa is pretty much up and I believe it goes from the date you sent in your application extension. Believe this is called implied status....

This is to the best of my knowledge, but do your own research on this to confirm also....

Yeah you technically have no visa on an intention until you arrive it only after they inspect proof of funds etc or whatever they do upon entry to the country that you obtain visa
