I went into the police station Thursday with the basic form filled out for police cert and wasn't asked any questions or for ID, hopefully I'll know something next week.

Hoping to go around March. Not sure yet, one of the big cities as I'm interested in marketing/PR roles for the arts/creative sectors, so perhaps Toronto - got friends there & in Vancouver & Winnipeg.

I'm worried about the payment section of the application - if its via online banking - I have the money to go in my account but Permanent TSB online banking is dire.

What's so bad about the online banking with PTSB,will be using my wife's one so surely there is a section to transfer money to different accounts?

I'm hoping to hit Canada round that time too fillefatale and also looking for PR-related jobs in the Ontario area. Have any ideas where to go about looking or are ye like the rest of us, waiting to see if we're lucky to get one of these visa yokes first!?

Just waiting to get the police cert back and I'm good to go, I hope!

Hyped for these Visas to open now!!

Ha celebratory drinks in Immigration if we're lucky, anyone!?

I know, it's hateful not knowing when they'll open. The suspense is killing me!

DonnaDarko09

In what circumstances must you get police clearance? It's not mentioned in docs to prepare section?

EI-DOR

Sound job! I've heard that alright! Know a few ones in Toronto. Craic is 90 so I hear!?

fredchest

What's the most 'culturistic' city? i.e. for music etc?
What cities are the cheapest to live? cause I read Vancouver is expensive, and a bit dead?

Just want to alleviate any concerns that the PTSB online banking site is rubbish. It's not. It's by far the best online banking around imo and I bank with most of the major banks. It's simple to pay to a new bank account, they just send you a validation code to your phone and wallah!!

I find it awful, I couldn't transfer money between 2 banks accounts without ringing them up to confirm the other bank account and having to wait for 5 days for it to go through the system! I have a bank acc with Lloyds TSB and found it incredible to use. The PTSB one is so basic that I am worried about the payment part of the app, but if you found it OK to use I hope it is!

fredchest

sure all you need is the full IBAN? right?

Is stage One due to open ANY day now? Could anyone approximate the time, from previous years? i.e. Would it generally be morning time i.e 9am, afternoon?

Seamus,

The Irish IEC is due to open early this month. So it could be this week or next. Keep checking the website!

Q: When are IEC programs for the UK & Ireland due to open?
A: Both programs will have separate opening times. Embassy of Ireland sources have indicated they plan to open the Irish program in early December. We have not received any notification for UK Embassy, but we expect January 2014. Follow Moving2Canada on Facebook or Twitter to be kept informed.

Is moving2canada an official government agency?

No I don't believe it is. I was told at the Working Abroad Expo in Dublin two months ago to keep checking the website before xmas!

So in effect your guess is as good as anyone else's? I hope it opens sooner rather than later but going on precedent it will be in January. However indications from hearsay indicate December.

I'm not guessing. That's what I was told at the Expo. I hope it opens this month to get the ball rolling!

Were those at the Expo Canadian gov officials or USIT/Sayit/Moving2Canada people?
