IEC 2013 - STAGE 2 - MEGA THREAD All Stage 2 Discussion HERE!

Shalamov

this is it...

1. Scan the Garda Cert and upload it. Make sure the Guards stamped it!

2. Scan your passport and upload it. Note - You need to scan the identification page AND every page that has a stamp on it. And these all have to be saved into the one file! The scanning machine will be able to do this. You'll need to figure it out or ask someone there.

3. Fill in the 1295E form. Be careful with the Postcodes. I know you should fill in empty fields with N/A or Not applicable - but when I entered these in the poscodes the doc wouldn't upload correctly (even though the doc itself verified - weird). Click the Validate button - an extra page will be generated at the bottom of the doc with a load of barcodes on it. Fill in the date at the bottom of the doc. You can save this file. You can print it out, sign it, and scan it back in if you like, but the signature is not neccesary. Upoload this.

4. Fill in the Family Information form (including the dates). You can't save it - so print it and then scan it back in. You can sign it if you like (I doubt they will complain if its signed) but again its not needed.

5. Upload your CV. It should be simple and only 1 or two pages. Don't go into too much detail. There is info on the web about Canadian CV formats. These are handy in the long run for applying for jobs when you get over there. Some key points are: Do not include your Sex or Date of Birth - and make sure your address is obvious. Only use years and months for education/employment.
These are the headings I used:
Title
Name
Occupation
Address
City
Country
Telephone
Email
Career
Experience
Technical Skills
Interests

6. Upload your photo. It has to be VERY specific - like your head has to be between 35 and 39 mm high (or something like that). I can't find the restrictions at the moment, but I had to use photo-editing software to get mine working.

Once everything is uploaded a "Continue" button will be available at the bottom of the screen. Click this and go through the steps. I can't remember exactly but the steps are simple. Near the end you will be asked to apply a digital signature. I think its just a case of clicking a button and entering your name and password. Can't remember exactly but it's easy.

Once your finished, you will get a message in your CIC account confirming that they received your documents. Its a PDF file. When you open it there will be an application number at the top of the letter. This is your CIC number. Go into your IKompass account and in the My Profile section click the section to update your CIC number. Add this number in there.

That's about as much as I can remember. I doubt the WTN numbers are relative for the CIC, so having a low number (I was around 200) won't make much difference. I think it's first come first serve with these guys.

Now we play the waiting game again!

Hi there, I have received an email from Mycic requesting a Canadian Police Cert from the time of my previous participation on the IEC in 2011. The FAQs of the IEC state that a Canadian Police Cert isn't necessary. But Mycic have requested it by March 11th and apparently it can take up to 16 weeks to obtain one from outside Canada (I'm in Ireland) At the moment my best option seems to be to fly to Toronto for a week, sort it, then return. Surely this shouldn't be necessary?

http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/recordsmanagement/clearance.php
you can request a police cert online, its Defiently does not take 16 weeks, Im sure you can askt hem to rush it, you have to pay for it here though i requested one fro some thing else and they say 3 weeks but cud be less, and im in Toronto so dont think it matters where you apply for it from

Thanks for the link. That's only if you're in Toronto though and can be present. I'm in Ireland. It does however allow for you to get items notarized and consent a 3rd party to act on your behalf. That involves a lawyer here in Ireland, posting the documents to Canada and then the 3 week turnaround which is tricky since Mycic only give you a month to sort it out.

after ive filled in form imm1295e and validated it what do i do then what do i upload in regards to that form help please

Panthro

The Family Information form folks,
It has a list of countries on the second page, no mention of Ireland.
It has a link then to a different form (imm5745)

Which one we go with?
The upload page says the first one I've mentioned, but the IMM5745 seems to be the more correct one.

The one they provide.

That's normally what I'd presume, but last year I had to submit the IMM5745.
It asked about the rest of the family (brothers/sisters) where as the one they are asking for now doesn't seem to.

Hi Guys,

I am kind of lost in the scoud part of the IEC Program.

I got my con. acceptence letter and visited Citizenship and Immigration and answered the Come to Canada Questions to creat MYCIC Account, but for some reason I dont have the option to upload my con.accept.letter and all that the other documents which the others(showing in other threads) have to upload.

I know it sounds stupid... like I am too stupid to answer some simple questions.
But to be honest... I am so desperate right now, because I am already in Canada, with a Working Holiday, which expire in March...

Is there anybody how can guide me or help me out????

Thank you so much, cheers...

Keano!

Okay, I've like got 90% of this done.... when this CIC number comes in the PDF after you submit, where do i submit it in the kompass thing?

Cant find a space for this number anywhere at all :-/

Last year on the IM1295 form we had to print off additional pages of Page 3 in order to be able to write in a full 10 year employment history.
How are ye going about putting that in this time round or do they ask for a 10 year history record?

what I did was filled out that part with the additional employment and did a screen copy and pasted it in paint and edit out just the employment part and put into a word document.

And then what, did you put the word document into the form itself?
What I tried doing was I created a PDF with all the employment history included and tried to upload that, but it wouldn't let me. It would only let me upload the validated document itself.
Can I edit the validated document?

no i put it in the Letter of explanation at the bottom and added a few sentences to explain what the document is in the word doc, i also named the word as additional employment.

Hi folks,

Complete newbie to boards, I actually have only set up this account as I really need help and Google just cant seem to find the answer..!!

Myself and my boyfriend are in the process of completing the 2nd stage of the IEC Canada application process, when we received our conditional acceptance letters last week i set up my GCkey login first, then he set up his login on the same PC straight afterwards. So today, after we got all files completed and double checked I signed in and uploaded my files and have received my submission number to add to the kompass account so all good there, however when we started on his application to upload his files to his account (which he logged into and the welcome page said his username) my name keeps coming up on the page where the uploads go....

We were using Firefox so I have tried opening it in Chrome and Explorer on the same computer but we are still having the same problem. I also tried it on my laptop and my info came up there too...

Anyone else having the same problem?

Would we have possibly done something wrong setting up our accounts together on same PC?

Any help at all would be great, its been a stressful day

Someone else had a similar problem a while back in this thread. Clear all of your browsing history before you start the other application. I did 2 applications off the one laptop and I did this before I started the second one and had no issues.

Ducky321

Thanks Lima, I tried that but it didn't work either so I ended up scrolling through all the pages of the mega-thread to find the person with same problem, turns out I just needed to delete it and re-do the questionnaire and upload documents and his name showed up finally! Stress over...now just to wait for the LOI (fingers crossed!)

hey guys! Ive been trying to sign my electronic signature since last night kept getting same message!!


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 read the thread and check all my info for the thousand time... my mistake was that I had created my GCKey and forgot to pu tmy full name as in my middle name.

I revoke my GCKey account and created a new one with the EXACT SAME NAME that is on my passport..and finally it was accepted!!! waiting game now....

hope this helps!! this thread is brilliant...helped sort loadsa my problmes with the visa forms ! so cheers whoever created it!!

This might be a silly question, but just wondering when do you provide a digital signature? I uploaded all my forms and sent them off and recieved the confimarion email with my number. I phyically signed the family form but left the first form blank.

just hope I havent missed anything:(

Hey GrizzlyMan, i did the same thing as you, I printed and signed the family form and scanned it back in as a PDF file, I hope they accept it. I got a lil' confused about the part where it says you have to sign to confirm you have no wife, children or dependents, so I just signed it to be sure.

Think im gonna wait to upload everything till the end of March early April because i dont plan on going till early april of next year and im afraid if i get the LOI to early then my plans will change ha

Just a heads up, make sure your Garda Cert doesn't expire, I think they are only valid for 3 months.

Whats everyone been doin for the digital photo upload? Getting one done in a photography shop to the spec they request and then just scanning and uploading?

Im sure they will accept the Family form, Im still a little confused, do you know when we have to supply a digital signature? is it at the end of the process or should I have done it when I was uploading my documents , as I wasnt asked to provide one

celticwe kindly cleared things up for me, guess i was in such a rush uploading everything I forgot I filled it out when completeing the upload process ..........doh
