Was it only a cv and passport that was the only documents that had to be uploaded

It depends when you're talking about. Stage one yes, stage 2 no. You should check out the FAQs, step by step guides, and conversations here.

100% agree. Some of the questions on FB pages especially are incredible. People should at least attempt 1/2 hour of research on their own, instead of asking 'whats kompass?' ‘where do I find the cic thing?' I personally find it frustrating to see people with cals that have done no research, whereas I have been researching and preparing since August and I'm still waiting.
I don't mind people asking for confirmation about something. We are all paranoid and want to be careful with what we submit but some of the questions are silly.

It's got me pretty mad that some underprepared people managed to swing a WTN, when one of my mates was ubber prepped and missed out by seconds.

Sorry if this has been posted but I'm just trying to find information on New Zealand Clearance if you lived there for 6 months+ in the past 5 years. Can anyone tell me is this applied for directly to the NZ Police or is the application sent to the Canadian embassy for sending to NZ on your behalf?

Thanks for that


Does anyone have any experience of obtaining a NEw Zealand Police Clearance for the Canadian Visa. i've tried the various websites and I can't find anything clear. I will email them but response times are more than likely slow so if anyone has information it would be great

Hi all,

I have a Stage 2 (CiC) question.

So I am progressing through my CiC application.

I had a first question regarding the additional employment section, after watching the video it seems to mention adding a second 1295E form, I assume with just the additional employments entered, leaving the rest blank.

I assume this is submitted as an 'Optional Document' in the stated section?

Also, does anybody else have Schedule 1 (i.e: 5257B) listed as an optional document? I haven't heard anyone else mention it, just wanted to make sure I don't require to submit this.

Thanks for anyone helping me out!

Stage 2 thread is where you need to be at. But yeah, what you said sounds fine!

katzenjammer 4000

Hey GrumPy,

Thanks for the heads up. I posted this in the Stage 2 thread first but it seems to be quieter and thought I would post in both in case someone else has came across this.

Do I need this Schedule 1 form?

I don't think I do but just in case.

Are there any rejections yet?

I'm sure this has been asked here somewhere already but does it make any odds if my name printed on the police cert is different towards my passport/birth cert name. The only difference is that my middle name is on the passport but not on the police cert.

Really bad advice there

The CIC Office processing your application will send the completed forms to the Immigration section in Sydney, Australia and officers there will work with the appropriate authorities to obtain the required Criminal History Report on your behalf. Sydney will send the Criminal History Report to the Immigration office processing your application.

IMPORTANT: Applicants should not send their Disclosure of Information (NZ) form directly to the New Zealand Police Authorities.

Edit: I'm wrong, looks like you can apply directly if going via IEC.

Question about CIC process : Has anyone, who has been living in Canada previous to applying for IEC 2014, been asked for a Canadian Police Check in the CIC section?

I am in Canada on a 1 year IEC and I got the Canadian Police check just in case they ask for it - cost $80. Out of two of my mates who did the 1 year IEC and got the 2013 2 year last year -one was asked for the Canadian police check and the other wasn't. Seems to depend what officer reviews your application.

So for the new Zealand police cert, contact the nz police.

Thanks
