Has anybody ever been rejected in getting their CAL? I was never worried. Seems like a formality once you manage to get within the first 7000

My GF just got a place in the quote for IEC for poland and now she needs to upload documents, however her passport is slightly different to mine and on the page after her picture, it is full of government writing. Is this a blank page?

Yeah I'm in the same boat as yourself and i paid, and submitted all the docs early last Wednesday. Others seem to have paid by Wednesday and have got word a few days later to confirm the acceptance letter, maybe we are in the slow pile as it is a civil service department we are dealing with.

You actually don't sign anything, you just fill out the imm1295 online through the adobe link and the signature part you do nothing just activate at the end of the page and follow the instructions ie. verify a CIC security question your name and submit, I got my Poe with 48 hours, any questions on the imm 1295 let me know, because I know how stressful the last part is.

you dont need to send them the blank page of your passport. I didnt and received my POE early this morning. Submitted my cic doc's late sunday night.

rob55

hi how did you get the digital photo??? and how long were you waiting for your garda clearence form. thanks

Ok so here's a question I probably should have asked a lot sooner (apologies etc):

If/when I receive my POE could I theoretically fly to Canada, activate my Work Permit, stay for a week and then return home for say 6 months. Then after 6 months, once I'm in a better position to leave, return to Canada making use of the 18months that would be left on my Work Permit?

If this sort of scenario is outlined anywhere on the IEC site could someone point me there please?

Scan a decent passport size photo which is the same dimensions they're looking for 35mm by 45mm the overview scan will be A4 but will give you the option to minimize to the dimensions required. Keep all documents to a low dpi especially multiple 1s ie. passport pages with stamps and police certificates

That doesn't make much sense. When you get your Poe, you have a whole year to enter, and only then when you arrive does your 24 month visa start

or take a picture with your phone
then use http://www.idphoto4you.com/
and use canda then select visa and the single photo and it allow you to crop or adjust the picture , then save and upload .
which is far handier .

Hi guys, I'm having an issue. I'm actually applying through a RO that still has room in the quota, but you guys are the most active forum so you might have a solution.

I made my first IEC account, and after I submitted all my documents I realized I forgot to put my middle name into "Given name" section as in my passport. Realized that that will get my application rejected. I withdrew that application about a week ago, but it still says its being processed and they'll give me the results back. To save time, I just made another account and began the application process again. Now the new account won't even let me submit documents yet because they're still confirming that I in the Recognized Organization, which previously took a day and now has been a week and nothing. And under status it says "Submitted--Overflow" even though my WTN is like 95.

Does anyone know what the hold-up would be? Has anyone had to submit more than one application and ran into similar issues? Thanks! I just want my letter

If you spot a mistake on the application form should you message them to correct it?

Why waste 6 months? You can just wait and enter when you want to start your visa.

I did message them, but after googling and looking on Facebook it doesn't really matter and they will outright reject you anyway. Plus, I haven't got a reply to any messages I've sent to them in the last week and a half.

Edit: oops sorry, i don't know if you were replying to me or asking an unrelated question.

Hi guys,

Quick question regarding the CV part. I've followed the template they have provided but mine almost looks like a school project! Is the CV part important? Their template pretty much only wants you to list your edcuation and work history without much detail and some contact details. I'm really fussy when it comes to things like this!

Appreciate all the info posted so far.
