I'm new to this forum and I was hoping someone can help

I forgot one of my answer's to the security questions in my Kompass, for the life of me I cannot remember the answer.
Did anyone else have this problem?
I sent a message through My Messages and hope they can help, but I would like to resolve this a.s.a.p.
Any suggestions are much appreciated

I dont know if it matters updating the cic file number as I heard on here some other person got their LOI without updating the cic number but it doesn't mean you shouldn't try anyway to see if it matters.

I don't know the answer to that question, on the other hand I'm waiting 18 days and I updated the cic number once I got it.

mancy85 I cant update my bf's iec account because it not recognising the answer to one of the security questions, i emailed them about 2 weeks ago and heard nothing back... not sure if it really matters though!

Hey could someone please help me out with this visa thing. I completed the my cic thing and got the work permit email and I also updated my cic file number on my iec account. But in my Iec account it still says immigration assesment pending and final decision pending. Does that mean I have to wait for them to verify before I can book my flights and go or do they get verified when I go through immigration in canada? Please some1 get back to me, Cheers

I'm in the same boat, i got my LOI on the 24th of feb and only put the code in then too, they called it two different things, very confusing!

Im still hesitant to book flights without having the status's change from pending, its been nearly two weeks now, getting itchy feet!

JustRoss23

why sure you have your visa that's all that counts immigration wont ask you to sign in to the kompass account to prove its verified as-long as you have the visa your grand:D

Hey,
im kinda in the same boat with visafirst...The last email I got from the IEC was late on 15th Feb...On the same date I emailed off the last of my required stuff and PRESUMED they'd deal with it quite quickly.After reading your post I rang them yesterday to find out they've done nothin yet.Some excuse about the system crashing due to the amount of people uploading their stuff.I'll be ringing again tomorrow to follow up and if I get no joy Ill be looking to speak to someone about it...And Ill be ringing them EVERY DAY....Have u contacted them recently??

Hey, i assume your speaking to me! havn't been on this in a while! Im 3 weeks now without hearing anything! I rang them yesterday but noone was answering the phones so I left a message!! Im starting to panic now as I have to leave on the 3rd of April did you get through to them yet?

hi tonto

i see you in canada atm so i presume your applying for your second iec visa. i have my visa from last year and have not travelled yet so ill be applying again next year. was the process much different for you this year since you alreay have a visa? did you have to get another garda cert and a police cert from canada? just wondering what i will need to do when renewing mine next year

Exact same process buddy. They did say an Irish police cert wasn't required but I submitted one anyway. They also said they didn't need a Canadian police cert as they have access to them records but then they started asking sine people for it and not others.

Basically it's the same process but with a **** load more stress cause you got a lot more to loose if it don't go through!

Did you input a UCI number into the 1295 form? I too was in Canada in 2007/08, so it was under SWAP/USIT - not sure if I should use that old number in there though? Some on here saying to leave it blank, others on fb saying if you participated before you'll have a UCI so input it?

It's all just getting a tad complicated for no reason!!!

CatMc48, did you insert a UCI number??
i was in Canada in 2011, on my Letter of Introduction i have a Permit Number but no UCI number, i presume they're the same??

Hi there,
Yep I put in the Client ID -it's on the right hand side of my old work permit (that's attached into your passport). It's an 8 digit number separated with a hyphen, and as far as I can remember there's literally room for 8 characters when you're electronically filling in the E1295 form, so you leave the hyphen out.

I did a lot of google searching before coming to the conclusion that the Client ID is the UCI, so I hope it's right! Lol!
