IEC 2014 Stage 2 Thread - All Stage 2 questions here!

I have pretty much finished my MyCIC application all i need to do is add additional info regarding my previous employment and my siblings as there was no space to add my sisters on the form.

Just wondering how i go about adding this information and in what format i should put it if anyone has any advice?

Also despite having filled out all the mandatory sections (the rest of the info i need to add falls under the optional section) i still don't see an option to submit the application?

Anybody started looking at travel insurance yet,being doing online research and it seems that most companys only do 1 year cover, dont think the Canadian Border guards will accept this as it clearly states two year cover is required. If anybody finds two year cover the link to the site would be much appreciated. Thanks

Good luck to all still waiting on POE letter.

I haven't priced around yet, but I know that VHI has a special 2 year Canada cover. If you google VHI backpacker Canada, you should find it.

Yikes! I was waiting on the Police Cert for weeks, to learn they lost the application. I got one rushed through today and just submitted myCIC. My Conditional Acceptance Letter is still in date for around two weeks.

Does this mean I've done it in time, or is there another step after this?

Faith

No, that's you done. Just wait for your POE now.

Oh hells yeah, thanks Faith

Hi all,

I am currently filling out the 2nd stage of the visa application. I have downloaded the IMM1295 form (Application for work permit made outside Canada) , filled it out and saved it. However, when I go to open the saved document, a message on the document states that a newer version of adobe is required to view the document. My machine has the latest version of adobe reader so I don't know what the issue is! Any ideas?

Also, with the IMM5707 (Family information form), should this be filled out on screen, then printed, signed and uploaded?

Cheers!

I got my POE about an hour after I posted that. Had been waiting 6 weeks & hadn't heard anything at all until I got the email with the POE. Hopefully yours will come through soon krishnalynn!




Vancouv...good luck with your application. Did you get your medical in the Mater? I was worried that there had been an issue with the documents I uploaded for it (I had just uploaded the print out the Mater give), or that the results hadn't been sent on to them properly, but they didn't query my medical at all (once they actually got around to processing my application!). Hopefully you don't have to wait as long!

Thank you! Yeah the Mater Private. That was the only option as far as i know. Im just assuming it takes longer if you get the medical so im not expecting any news soon.

Thats great news for you!!

My Girlfriend is waiting 3 weeks for her garda cert and its still not here, anyone else had to wait that long?

Mine came in less than a week

If it goes over 3 weeks you should call to your local station. mine took a week and a half.

I'm waiting 3 weeks now myself. I've been reluctant to follow it up just yet because the gards in waterford city had NO idea what I was requesting, literally NONE. So i did as the garda website says and wrote the superintendant, but it means its sort of difficult to follow up on.

Some odd turn arounds for the Garda Check i handed mine into the station a few weeks ago now on a Wednesday and had it posed out to me on the Friday, but i am now waiting nearly three weeks for my Australian Police Cert. It does give an estimate on the time frame it looks like it depends on the Station.

i went into my local station in the town on a bank holiday monday, told them what i was after, filled in a one page form they handed me. I had the cert posted to my house a week later. It seemingly gets done/researched by the "civilian staff" and then signed off by the super so i can't see why the long waits for some. Best to call the station and chase up on it I think longwhitecross

I notice you can edit your "Auto.pdf" letter in Adobe...
Do they check the dates in the Airport against your application number on an actual database?
I won't, but a part of me is tempted to edit the arrive by date (so I can travel a little later).... :pac:

Hi All I need some help here, I am completing my imm1295 form I am trying to obtain a working holiday visa therefore I do not have a prspective employer

what do I enter in the box for that on the imm 1295 form?
can I leave it blank? or is it compulsory?

Also if I submit this form and there are any errors on it is that the end of the road or do they send it back to make amendments?

Thanks In Advance

Rgdajd

Hi All just reading through about the police certificates here, I am a reserve myself and am familiar with the process, if you haven't got yours back yet it is likely it is sitting in someone's mail slot and eventually will be looked after.

the quickest solution to that is to ring your district headquarters or the whichever station nearest to you that has a superintendent, ask to be put through to the district office and ask the district clerk about your form

Ive gone through this process myself and it's very misleading. They basically give you a form intended to be used by a different kind of application. It's kinda lazy but hey!

What you do about the prospective employer, is either but "Unknown" or the usual acronyms for saying that the information is not available.

Anything that you don't have the information for right away, can usually be covered by stating that.

I filled in those sections with "Unknown" and my application went through ok.

Well my Garda cert arrived after 3 good weeks. Also has my DOB and current address wrong (despite the self addressed envelope I included). Frustrating. Hopefully when I bring it up there it won't be a major to get it changed.

You have other options. If you have a skill on the skill shortage list you can apply for a perm res visa without a job offer. The visa's are limited but it's definitely worth a shot. There are other industries that will sponsor you, but these are mainly limited to construction/engineering. It can be quite difficult to get sponsored in other industries, but not impossible.

How does the sponsership work? Is this the young professionals catagory?

Also where can I find the skill shortage list and more info on permanant residency?

Hi thanks im an electrician.I've done a bit more research and it seems If i can find a company to employ me through the lmo scheme I could head over.

Had to get a new Passport which won't be issued until the 26th. As it was out of date on the 22nd of January and I may be staying later than that.

I leave for Canada on the 29th though so this appears to be a major problem for me.

I can't fill out myCiC application form as I only have my old Passport Number. Would i 100% need to use my current passport number (i.e the one I receive on 26th) or will the other one be ok?

Edit: I have family (full Canadian citizens) living in Canada will that allow me to circumvent any problems that may arise?

If anyone can recommend who I should contact to find out that would also be great.

Sorry about appearing so lazy just like a bit of clarification.

Thanks.
