sorry for being off topic here but have any of you guys booked flights yet? just looked at a one way dub>toronto>edmonton end of may one way for 340!! not sure if i should book yet though!

Anything relating to flights is pointless really as everyone's situation is different and to be on the safe side I wouldn't be booking anything. For all you know the worse case scenario might happen and your visa is rejected for some reason or your visa application takes way longer than it should. You can't foresee these things until you're in the clear. You could be left with a flight that you have to pay for but can't use.

Patience

Left it in a friends hands as i stupidly attended a show last night, i had everything completed bar the visa choice and went through in minute detail how to do it, unfortunately through no fault of his he got mixed up on my year of birth, spent five minutes trying to ring me before just going with what he thought it was (which was correct) but then it was locked out. Im gutted. Seeing as nearly everyone seems to have got through on this thread whats the best way of keeping myself notified when an updated release date for the second batch comes around? Doesnt help that im going abroad for the next three weeks and will be staying in hostels mostly without regular net access i fear.

I feel your pain, I got my best mate to submit mine as he was doing his own. Got a message from him at 8.04 to say both submitted, then another at 8.09 to say mine hadn't been quick enough in.
Really annoyed at myself for going now.
There is a rumour round 2 are gonna be out on the 29th but I don't know where that's coming from

Congratulations to her, hopefully your acceptance is imminent!
I didn't submit mine until midday. I got the email at 4am but didn't check my mail until late morning.

Hey just wondering about the passport pic after reading the last few posts...

It says identification page(s)? Is it not just the part with your picture on it that there looking for?

Sorry just the more i read through all these posts the more freaked out i get im gonna do something wrong

Guys sorry for the confusion. You only need to upload the identification page of your passport as it says. I went a little further and pointlessly uploaded my whole passport!

Jaysus! Is she now being asked to submit more forms? Great news as this looks to be moving along quickly.

The acceptance letter basically says:
"We are pleased to confirm you have been conditionally accepted...

You must submit a work permit application online through myCIC before the expiry date of 12th June 2014.


Based on your answers CIC will provide you with a checklist of all the documents you need to submit with your work permit application. One of these documents will be this conditional acceptance letter..

If your work permit application is approved you will receive a Port of Entry Letter....

We recommend you don't book flights/travel insurance yet...

Fill out a survey too.

that's it folks!

It was posted on the IEC facebook webpage a few weeks back but was taken down.

This has been asked a few times but I cant find an answer. Can you upload CV and passport as word files? Ive managed to convert CV to pdf but cant figure out to do passport scan.

File - Save As - PDF from drop down on 'Save as Type'

It was said somewhere that files should be uploaded in .pdf or .jpg (I think .gif as well as at least one more file type). I didn't notice word being one of the choices when I was uploading my stuff earlier. What program are you using? There's usually a dropdown box below the file name while saving that will allow you to choose what file type you want to save as.

Deadly! Congrats. What number were you?

Bear83

Thanks for letting me know. At least I now know for sure it has to be PDF. I must have an old word program. When I click "save as", the only option I get is JPEG File Interchange Format but i'll figure something out. Thanks

I'm not having a go at you, but many have asked questions and the answer is right on the page where you have to upload the documents to; Screenshot:


Asking questions like this opens yourself to be given the wrong information like below.

Just read the page carefully, they tell you what they want!

Did you get a second message in Kompass to say they received your scans and payment? I got an email from the company that deal with the payment but no message in kompass as of yet.

My CIC all finished. Holy shiz. I just can't believe how fast that was. Half of the process done in half of one day, now my immigration assessment sent to CIC. I'll be able to leave sooner than expected.

Not now, if they request it, you would print that off and sign it. For now your confirmation code which should have been emailed to you is all you need. You can save the form as a .PDF if you wish.

Wait and see what happens. In 2012 for my application they didn't care, people referencing 2013 say they did care but you definitely aren't the only one.
You could withdraw your application and apply in the next round, up to you.
