They "needed" to announce it in January, but this is the situation and there is nothing we can do about it.

... Didn't say there was??

Nothing today either, surprise surprise :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Good to see that the Canadian civil service is as lazy and inefficient as their Irish counterparts

@icic:

You will find that is very untrue. You should brush up on the news in Canada, with the changes to immigration laws the country is trying to introduce. This will mean possible delay.. Ireland is not as special as you might think..

So people are allowed to moan about it not being open each day yet we aren't allowed to moan about them doing so?

What are you talking about? I was excited at the prospect of moving to Canada. That's moaning? Haha. I'm done with this thread. Hope I don't meet any of the cantankerous posters over there.

Really? really?...we're not special?? I thought everyone wants to be Irish??!

@ckgirl:

well this is a symptom of the allocation for Ireland rising so much.. more applicants= more resources needed on the part of the IEC. These resources MUST be in place before it opens to avoid you know what...

icic

Meanwhile, at the Canadian civil service...



I think I'll get a job with the iec so I can sit on my arse for 11 months of the year.

I'd guess about the same as it being today, or any day in April.

One of my best mates just left this morning to start his Canadian adventure He got his visa at the very last minute last yr-I was stupid enough to dilly dally about it then (I'd just had a horrific break up and was not in the frame of mind to be making decisions).

I'm really sad he's gone

If the Canadian visa webpage does not update on the days specified in your post as quoted above; I, along with a number of other boards.ie members, will murder you to death.

Best Regards,

We've all heard dozens of opening date rumours by this stage, this is just another one added to the mix that i cannot back up. We are all smart enough to know that nothing is certain at this stage, they might not open for another few weeks or even months. Take this for just another rumour, nothing more.

I think we all did take it as a rumour
I know you can't back it up, but where did you hear it?

Honestly guys, i can't and won't say, or anything else on it. I probably shouldn't have said anything (more so because Grumpy is now going to kill me if there is no movement, slowly too i bet!). It's just i know how exhausting and hard this is for people, i thought you would appreciate any rumour that people might hear, no matter how vague it was.
