I asked back because....you got me doubting my submission earlier on :D
I'm thinking you wouldnt get logged through if you put in the wrong code you would not be logged through and wouldn't recieve the confirmation letter (electronic)

You will receive your LOI directly from CIC not from IEC. IEC will only sent you a 'welcome to IEC' letter once
your work permit gets approved by CIC.
So as long as CIC has your email address you're all set.
 
So many applicants (UK, France, Australia, Germany etc) this year, I hope the CIC is doing ok processing the stage 2 applications.
Do you know which department of CIC process this information? I feel like calling them up.

I feel like they don't want to talk to anyone LOL. Not even the call centre.
 
2 years ago I got the LOI straight from IEC and didn't have to do stage 2. Was it the same for you guys?

In my opinion the CIC was very friendly on the phone, I had no problems with them but the problem was that they told me they do not deal with IEC applications, the IEC office of our countries were. In contrast, the IEC in my country says they don't deal with stage 2, the CIC does. It appears this process is new and not many staff know about it. Correspondingly, another issue crossed my mind. I hope when we submit the online application, it gets transferred to the correct department.

I am thinking that maybe working all of this out is what caused the delay in the first place, so hopefully things will go smoothly..

It has always been processed by CIC. You sent your application package to IEC, they assessed it according to the IEC criteria
and then forwarded it to CIC, LOI back to IEC and they emailed you.
And your/our application(s) will be forwarded to the department which is processing work permits. And CIC doesn't care if it's an
IEC application or not, your conditional acceptance letter indicates you as an IEC participant and the rest of the process is
a normal application process for a work permit in Canada.
 
Heard back from someone who actually got the LOI today. So CIC is working on the applications.
Application was submitted Feb 11th, LOI received Mar 4th.
Hope I'll get mine too. And hopefully soon! :-)

Eeep what country are they from? I'm from Australia (but currently residing in Canada). I submitted Stage One on January 29, got my Conditional Acceptance letter on February 11 and submitted Stage Two on February 15. Still waiting to hear back. Even though it hasn't been the eight weeks all up I'm still stressing. Hahaha
