Is anybody else not able to log into Kompass a/c? It keeps redirecting me to an information page for Canadian citizens looking for visas.
Normally i wouldn't panic but I need to get in asap to email them proof of payment as my first payment bounced back (wrong sort code)

I've just paid there. I'm with Ulster Bank. So I saved the webpage thinking I'd just be able to open it again for proof of payment but it just keeps redirecting me to put in my details and then the home page. I haven't even received an email verification of the payment! I emailed my branch explaining that I need a payment receipt by Friday. I can't find any option in my online account! Stress!
similar thing happened to me with AIB online. i went to a AIB branch yesterday and they couldn't give me any receipt. yesterday i printed the "transfers & payments, payment log" from their website which showed the money was transferred, then i typed my details onto the same page and sent it off. i didn't know if they'd accept it but it was verified yesterday!0 -

I had the issue, whereby I couldn't get enough information from my bank(lengthy conversation with bank manager and their tech support) and still no joy. So I rang the embassy in Dublin, explained the situation and they told me a lot of people were having the same issue, banks in Ireland generally can't or won't give you the info you need. So I wrote a mail to the IEC using the Kompass as follows.Hi, I contacted my bank today, and spoke with the bank manager and the technician and they advised me that the information that I provided already was all that they could provide me with(Screenshot of account ending-XXX paid 120 to account ending-XXX). They also advised that I contact the account holder(Canadian Embassy in Dublin) to verify they have received the payment. As from the banks perspective the payment has been completed. So in turn, I contacted the Canadian Embassy today, and explained the issue I was having, they confirmed on the phone that the money has arrived in their account, but there was nothing they could do, and that there were alot of complaints today regarding the same/similar issues. I was then advised to send a message back explaining the above, and that my payment confirmation was all that can be provided by the bank, and to ask you to check with them if necessary in order to move my application along. The reference used on my Bank Transfer was IE-000XXX and should be identifiable by that in the Canadian Embassy's bank account. So in this case, myself, nor the Canadian Embassy in Dublin know how I should proceed if the information I have provided proves to be insufficient. Kind Regards, Elvis
I got payment verification back within the hour.
I have a few friends who were in a similar situation, we used the Acc No & Sort code rather than the Swift IBAN method. The above mail has now worked for 5 people(including myself).
I'm in the first 200 WTNs and got my payment off straight away, and verified the next day. I haven't heard anything on the next section and don't expect to for at least another week. So for those panicking about not hearing anything, I wouldn't worry

My boyfriend did the exact same thing as I did and in fact copied and pasted the exact same mail I sent them explaining and received a reply within an hour! This was on Thursday, he is now verified but I am still waiting and in the dark! I've even emailed the embassy but they have been unable to help. Argh, so worried!
I paid on Wedbesday too but havnt heard a thing At least you heard something! 0 -

maybe slightly off topic but you know how we need health insurance for the two years we are there... well i was wondering does that still apply if lets say u are going to Alberta? could you get maybe a couple of months cover instead so that it will cover you until u start working?

Yea you HAVE to have proof of cover for the entire duration of your stay in Can. If they ask for it at the port of entry and you only had 3mth cover they 'could' give you a 3mth work permit! but they'd be more likely to just tell you to fack off back home. So better safe than sorry0 -
