    Are you sure about this? The passport photos didn't need to be signed by the guards last year. In fact nothing did. The police check was enough.

    Hope this isn't a stupid/out of place question-a few people who have posted here seem pretty clued in so thought it would be a good place to ask! I'm hoping to get my visa for Canada 2013 along with the rest of you; i'm from N.Ireland, have lived here all my life and hold an Irish passport. I'm abit confused regarding police checks-someone told me Irish participants from N.Ireland need Access NI clearance (the basic one), but someone else told me i'd have to apply for police checks through the UK's ACPO. Had never even heard of the latter til it was mentioned to me this week. Any info on this would be appreciated :)

    From the website:
    For Irish applicants, a valid Police Certificate is the original document which is prepared by either the Garda or in the Police Service Northern Ireland. Applicants who do not sumbit the original documents will be refused.

    So that to me would be the NI police. You are applying as an Irish citizen on your Irish passport so assuming you haven't lived in England/Scotland/Wales then the NI police cert is fine

    Can anyone confirm if the CV needs to be a Canadian Resume or an Irish CV when applying? I have been told it can be an Irish CV, and I have been told it needs to be a Canadian Resume...

    I'm applying with my Irish CV. I'm 99.9% sure it does not have to be a Canadian resume.

    I'm getting the picture that you need to submit a cv?!? Glad mine is up to date, although perhaps a tweak or two wouldn't go amiss. Why do we need a cv may I ask?

    Yeah, you need to submit one along with your application. Not sure why they need it, I guess they do a quick scan of your CV just to match the information with other forms you've filled in. Not sure tbh. :pac:

    Guys, I participated in the program back in 2007 to 2008, so, I should be fine to apply now with the new changes in the rules? Part of me thinks it's fine, but part of me is not sure how to read it :l

    Yup mate you can apply as long as you haven't participated in the IEC twice already. Applying this time you'll have a 2 year visa.

    I emailed the IEC last year asking them this. They told me it would most likely be refused as I already had an unactivated visa. If I was your I would wait for 2014. You'll be granted another two years then and be good till 2016.

    I'm in the same boat as you. We apply for the same program, exact same way. This time you'll have to put your sin number on the form

    I have a LOI from the previous 2012 program that expires June 2013, I haven't entered Canada yet and so, have not received my Visa. Can I get a two year one now instead of one?

    Just an FYI, current holders of LOIs still get the 12months they applied for :-/

    "IRELAND: If an Irish citizen holds a Letter of Introduction dated for the 2012 participation year, then they should only receive a work permit valid for 12 months as per the agreement at that time. If it is their first participation, they can apply for the 2013 or onwards participations and, if approved, receive the 24-month work permit."

    Hi there Im just wondering if anyone has any info on this or are in the same situation. Myself and my girlfriend have just arrived in van on a one year visa it was issued to us in 2012 but we have arrived the end of Jan 2013. Our visas state that we have to be leaving Jan 2014. Does anyone know does that mean we have to go through the whole process again to stay the extra year or is there a way of sending an email with our reference numbers etc to the iec and they just extend it..
    Ive gone throught the IEC site and cant seem to find the information.

    Cheers

    600 now :( I have to get a new passport, so I'd imagine by the time I get it the places will be all gone. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year :(

    It is shocking that they are all gone already. They are accepting some supplementary applications (goodness knows how many) to fill the places where people cocked up/dropped out, but other than that, that's it. Madness. People want out of this country.

    More like people want an extended holiday to be fair. Most will trot home in the next year or two.

    I agree somewhat with your point but for some people applying for the iec visa is the opportunity to find a job and make a better life for themselves.
