    I take it that not one of us waiting has heard anything yet?

    I am and the guy I know also. Trying not to stress about it but would be a relief as soon as they come through.

    I still haven't heard anything either. I lodged my application on Friday 11 April. (Over a month now) I know Easter was in the middle of that.

    I'm finding it impossible not to stress. Was hoping to fly out early June but can't make any concrete plans waiting on this! It's gone on far too long.

    Probably not. Wouldn't do any harm either though I suppose.

    Was reading another forum and saw that there is a guy in the UK that has been waiting on his CAL for the last 5 months!! Hopefully the same doesn't happen to any of us!

    Hi Guys

    I need help with this. I am currently waiting for my police certificate from the USA to apply for my Canadian visa. The first attempt failed because the garda took my prints wrong and it was sent back to be redone. That took 6 weeks. If it comes back the 2nd time as insufficient I wont have enough time to do it again before my acceptance letter expires. Did every one here have to give certs for other countries they have lived in for more than 6 months? Would they understand after explaining that the FBI wouldn't accept my prints after they were done by "professionals" here.

    They've moved on to the UK waiting list now anyway. Not sure whether or not to take that as a good sign!

    How do you know this, do you think the rest of us has no hope?

    Saw it on one of the UK forums. Can't see why we wouldn't get it unless they have messed up our applications somehow. I believe we will get them eventually.

    Hi just wondering if anyone is still waiting for their CAL?? I submitted the docs and payment for round 2 on 8th April and still nothing. Two friends of mine on the same day and they have heard nothing yet. I am beginning to worry that we will never get processed.

    I submitted mine on the 11 of April with payment. Did you lodge your own application yourself?

    Where did you see that? Surely they can't start the waiting list until the CAL are issued to those of us who are inside the quota of 7700, as they won't know how many have been refused / rejected

    hi all just a quick question for everyone, my bf and myself has gotten our POE already and we are thinking of heading to Toronto this February. Just wondering if we need to get a return-ticket? (silly question, I know) thanks

    I am looking into open return tickets just in case of emergencies. Found a few cheap one way tickets however open returns are quite pricey. I don't think you need a return but you need enough money to be able to buy a return (on top of the $2500). So I've heard. Can any one out there advise us on the best option??? Also has anyone bought an open return ticket that's good value???

    No, you don't need a return ticket, provided you have sufficient funds in your account to cover a return flight when you arrive to Canada (i.e. the minimum CA$2,500 you need anyway).

    It's bizarre how some of us have been waiting two months with no word from the IEC and she's on the waiting list and got it within a few days.

    Something has definitely gone wrong somewhere with those of us with applications in progress since early April. I just hope the IEC are aware of it.

    Have you been in touch with them? I'd be all over them like a rash. I couldn't sit back and take a 'wait and see' attitude!

    I've sent them 3 mails through my kompass account,3/4 through the feedback form, emailed the cic 3/4 times aswell. Rang the cic (you can actually ring from outside of canada), emailed the embassy in Dublin. Haven't gotten any help only one response from the cic saying to contact the iec through your kompass account. The guy I spoke to from the cic was useless.

    Kompass is down for maintenance today so maybe their trying to sort some glitches. Fingers and toes are crossed!
