    I thought so, I thought for sure I would need to push it by a month or two to April, but even doing that is coming up with an error. If it were only 2 years PR, and my previous 2 years, it would be ok, but it seems to count all absences as marks against my previous 2 years, even if they did not...

    Is it worth it?

    Well BUNAC Charge you. And they issue you a letter which you have to apply with. Originally, when it went to Paris, they guaranteed you a place if you met their requirements. They didn't do this this year, so I applied on my own. You have to apply for BUNAC then IEC not the other way arround.
