IEC 2014 - International Experience Canada

[Amanda1123]

Hello,

My partner applied from New Zealand for her IEC working holiday in December of 2013. There were over 900 places left for NZ at this stage. She got her conditional acceptance letter (Stage 1) a week after she applied. She then set up her my CIC account and uploaded all documents for stage 2. There was a small issue with the Police certificate and the final documents they requested were uploaded and submitted on the 3rd of January 2014. We have not heard anything since then, when I check the cic site now there seems to be a new system called Kompass.

Does this mean we need to apply again under the new system? Any advise would be very helpful.

You don't need a US visa. You go to the border, US side, tell the US officer that you're there to flagpole.
He will write you a note and send you back to the Canadian border where you can get your work permit.
Make sure the border you're intending to flagpole offers immigration services.

Hi

I have filed out the application for a work permit outside Canada, validated it and saved the document. I printed it out and signed it and re-scanned it in and tried to upload it but the CIC online website keeps on saying error it cannot be validated. Which I don't understand because it does not allow me to sign electronically on the actual application itself that's why I printed out the form, signed it and scanned it and saved the document.

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me? if anyone has anyway of solving this problem please can you let me know how to sign it/ type in my name it is much appreciated.

Thank you

HI Julia,


You do not need to sign the application t all if you are applying online. Signing electronically means once youupload all the documents it will ask you to sign electronically at the end by entering ur name ( you do not sign individual form electronically). Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Second that. Download the document, fill it, save it, upload it. Application will be signed digitally as confusedimmigrant already stated.

Thank you and thank you iam_toby for your help ;D Wished they would make that more expressly clearer.

Hi,

I just applied for the IEC in IRELAND and just paid my fee 10 minutes ago, when I looked back at my application I found out I had the wrong date of birth in, the format they looked for YYYY-MM-DD where I had it YYYY-DD-MM do you thing this will make a difference will my IEC get rejected ? I have messaged them asking could they change.
Am I better off to Withdraw my application and Start fresh for the 2nd round.

Any Help on this would be really appreciated.

Many Thanks

Daniel Cantwell.

Hi,

I'm from Denmark, and I'm currently being assessed by the IEC. They've accepted my payment and everything, and their latest message said that I would hear if I was eligible or not within in two weeks. It's been 16 days now, is that normal? There was a minor error in my application, as I got confused and wrote my last name twice. I messaged them however, and told them of my error. Can this be what caused my delay?

I can see that this thread is a bit dead, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Osmund

Still no response from IEC? I would try to contact the IEC program of Denmark again, see if there's a different way of contacting,
other than email. If email is the only way, send another email. Guess that's all you can do, but wait for the first stage approval.

Nope, no response yet. I'll try that.

Thanks for your help!

I applied for my WHV on March 4th 2014 and still haven't heard anything yet. I'm just hoping my LOI will come before April 26th as that is my flight date! I'm from Australia and I've heard some people get theirs 2 weeks after they lodge their documents for stage 2...I'm starting to get worried.

It was just so much easier when you sent in the documents via mail, I heard back within 3 weeks or less back in 2011.

Yes, current processing times for work permits are 13 days. So 13 days after submitting documents for stage 2
should be the day you get your LOI. Good luck!

How long does it usually take for CIC to message you with your letter? My status was closed on Friday and at the bottom it just says this application has been approved. But have had no official message yet.
