IEC 2014 Discussion/Stage 1 - READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING

carroll123

I received my cal at 21:53, so ****ing happy after all the stress of not being able to submit documents. was helping my aunt help four lads with theirs tonight and they all got in. its a ****ing good night!!

MrMojoRisin'

Has anyone else who successfully got their WTN in the first round and payed and submitted everything correctly still _not_ received a CAL yet?

Tea rocks

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for posting helpful information on this and other IEC 2014 threads in the past few weeks/months. I missed out on the first round and was gutted.

In the second I went through 15 mins of hell when the applicant validation section malfunctioned about 40 times and logged me out twice. I thought it was curtains at 21:21 but when I logged back in for the second time I was greeted by the sight of a notification to let me know that I got a WTN (which apparently is the equivalent of getting your foot in the door during the mad rush).

I really hope it's worked out for everyone
That was torture!

Your CAL ? If so what date did you pay the fee and upload documents? I payed and submitted mine 19th March, still not received CAL yet. Getting fairly worried reading about everyone who got theirs this evening..

Working Holiday Program.

The relief I feel right now cant be put into words. 15 minutes of torture and nerves waiting to just get past that final screen and submit the application to get my WTN, 608X. Feel sorry for anyone who lost out on a visa due to that glitch with the final submit, really harsh since it was out of your hands. It was just a lottery this second round, even for the highly prepared.

Looking at the IEC homepage, its weird that they haven't updated yet to say its closed. A lot of people have been put on the waiting list so theres still hope for people who have gotten a WTN number especially if the number is not much higher than 7700

Ive made a POLL just to get an idea of who's doing it solo in Canada this year and who either going with someone or knows someone over there! Would appreciate a vote just so we can all get an idea! Its on my threads page

Aiming for Banff to try get work in the mountain resorts for winter season! Ive been on to most of the resorts already and their hiring process doesn't begin until July/August but one crowd said if i really wanted seasonal work id want to be over for October. There's also the option of going with The Working Holiday Club who for a fee guarantee you a job in the mountain resort but its pricey and i don't know if i want to work in Whistler id say it will be hectic there.

Heading for the resorts myself. In a lucky enough position I have a fair bit of experience working in the industry so for once I'll be making the choice of what job to take instead of looking for an offer anywhere!

You'll be fine, there will definitely be 2 people who don't complete or get rejected .

Wonder what the highest wtn issued is

Lollipops23

Delighted for all of you who managed to get a place!! My mate who was heartbroken at missing out in round 1 managed to get one this time, so panic is over!

Come join us old hands pacing the floor waiting for our Conditional Letters of Acceptance

(I'm smiling because if I don't, I'll cry. Day 18 in the Big Brother House and Lolli is STILL waiting on her CAL).

yaknowmyname

Congrats to all that got one, sorry to those that didn't. Did anyone that got there's in the second round still waiting on the message saying they can upload documents and pay the fee, my wtn is 52xx still have not been able to upload document but my girlfriend who got 56xx got her message last night

AmyPL

Got in at number 42**, was fairly nerve wracking at 8.59pm when everything looked like it had stopped loading!

No message about payment or documents yet, but it's locked so I'm hoping all will be okay.

I have a place from the first opening of places (13th March ) , there was a technical issue with some peoples account such as mine where I couldnt actually submit the documents. When they fixed the fault they obviously rushed the people affected through
