    Im in the same boat :( found this on the CIC website, which suggests if the CAL is expired thats it but you can get money back.

    [My IEC work permit application was refused because I did not provide a document. What should I do?

    If your IEC Conditional Acceptance Letter is still valid, reapply for a work permit with the correct documentation. You will not have to pay more fees.

    If your IEC Conditional Acceptance Letter has expired, you will have to restart the IEC application process by submitting a new application through your Kompass account. You will have to pay the participation fees again. You will be reimbursed for not using your first Conditional Acceptance Letter.]

    So obviously it's too late to restart the IEC process now until next year so i guess i'll just have to withdraw the application via the kompass website and hope i get my money back?

    Hi lads, I completed my application in june but a friend of mine who is completing his now was asking about the family info form and if you print and sign it. I did'nt do this so told him not to, but after the form is filled in there is no validate section at the bottom and when you go to upload it it says validation error, has anyone experienced this? has the process changed since I done it?
    Any help appreciated.

    Submitted all my documents and cal to cic nearly two weeks ago, got an email a day later to say account updated, but nothing since. It has to be the worst thing to wait on, it's the not knowing how long it'll take that annoys me!

    What's the longest I can expect it to take? I'm going on the young professional visa, as I've secured a job with a Canadian company, and they are emailing me every week to see if I can fly or not.

    It's so frustrating reading comments here where people are getting their poe's, and not travelling for another 6 or more months!

    After messing up and having my CAL expire before i uploaded the last of my docs in the myCIC stage i have now withdrawn my application back in the Kompass website. I have received no email or notification to say this has been done and no information on when/how/if i will get a refund for my visa application?

    I've just received two messages in my cic account, first one is requesting additional document ( police cert ) it doesn't give a reason, just says replacement required.
    However, my status is closed, and my final decision is approved, and 5 mins after the first message, I received my POE.
    Do I need to submit another cert, or just print off the POE ?

    Also, the info on the POE is blank, but I read that's normal, and I've to open it with adobe to see all details, which I can't do til I get home later

    So I've been offered a place and I need to provide the necessary documents and pay by the 6th September. I've searched on the website but I can't find the answer so I'll ask here. If I accept and send in the necessary documents and pay how long can I wait before I actually go over? Thanks

    If you are just paying now you must be just on stage 1,it takes up to 14 days for them to send conditional letter of acceptence for you to enter stage 2 and it can then take 6-8 weeks after you have uploaded all documents required.I know people who have only waited 1-2 weeks and more a lot longer

    My friend has just got his Conditional Acceptance Letter a few days ago but it expires today (6th Sept). However we have began the CIC application process and it says we still have 58 days left to submit it. He previously had a police cert but its now out of date and obviously he wont have another one until next week. Everything else is filled in and uploaded.
    Should he submit the CIC application now with the out of date cert and hope they come back and look for a more recent one or is he ok to wait?
    Its very confusing as the CIC site and Conditional Acceptance Letter are contradicting each other.

    Try submitting it today without the police cert, but including a letter of explanation. For whatever reason, people called up from waiting lists are only getting a few days to submit everything, so I think the cic expect that police forms won't be available that quickly and will be understanding. That's my best guess, anyway.

    "Country where applying for" I believe is for when your citizenship is of a different country to where you are living. E.g. if you were Irish but applying from France (or somewhere) then you would put France down as current residence and Ireland down as country where applying, I think. As I was living in Ireland at the time of my application, I just ticket the box to say that it was the same as my current residence, and I didn't have to fill those boxes in.

    You don't have to print the form, just type your name into the signature area.

    The police cert question has been covered multiple times in this thread and forum - do a search!

    Thanks for your help, I have searched for the police cert issue but I wanted to know what the best approach is because my CAL only lasts til the 1st of October but my application is valid for 2 months.. ?

    Also if Im applying for a working holiday without a job waiting do i just leave the job details blank on the form?

    What is the UCI Number they are looking for?

    Sorry for all the questions just want to make sure. Thanks

    The only way to get it is to go down to your local Garda station with all the required documents (passport, birth cert, CAL etc..) You can fill in the form and then it goes off to the station the Superintendent for where the area you live in based (there's a list online). I got mine back in a week, so maybe ring after a week if yours hasn't arrived.
    Also if Im applying for a working holiday without a job waiting do i just leave the job details blank on the form?

    Yes (again this has been covered already http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=89865899).
    What is the UCI Number they are looking for?

    If you have previously had deadings with CIC then you will have a UCI. If this is your first time applying to CIC you won't have a UCI, so can leave it blank. (and yes this has been covered already in this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=89642257).

    Seriously (and this isn't a swipe at you) but why have pages and pages of answers only for the same questions to be asked again and again. There is a "Search this thread" function.

    I have been told different stories each time, first i was told to write a letter to the superintendent and I did. now i was told to email my details to an email and I did that also. So i should just head down to my district station and hand in everything to them? thanks

    That's what I did - there's a form you can fill in. Like I said, my cert came back within a week.

    Thanks for all the help. I went into the garda station and submitted the form for police cert but the garda said it could be 2 weeks for it. That's 2 days past my cal date, is it possible to submit my application without the police cert and with a letter of explanation? Of course I'll wait til the last day of my cal to do it if I have to. Thanks

    Thanks for that, I'll try giving them a ring early next week. I guess if it doesnt come by then, I'll take the chance of submitting and see if they give me extra time.

    BTW it was the Ballymun Garda station.

    Hi,
    I set up my Kompass account the first week in september, received my CAL but it says it expires on the 23rd, that is 2 weeks from the date it was issued, is that normal?
    i have been trying to get everything ready to submit for that date, but its impossible. I still have no police check and I lived in New York for a year in the past 5 years, so I need to get police clearance from there and read in a previous post that can take 7-8 weeks, nevermind the week for the irish police clearance. Also need to get the common law union form signed by a notary and passport photos which im going to tryin the online sites mentioned on this.
    can I submit the 3 forms I have filled in so far with the CAL letter before it expires and hope they just ask me to send on the others without cancelling me? the CIC account tells me I have 50 days left?? how are the deadlines so different?
    also to confirm, for the iec working holiday, we do not need to fill int the app for temp resident visa?
    Sorry, i have been researching this info for the past two weeks and cant seem to find straight answers?? very stressed!!
    any help will be appreciated!
    thanks!

    Why do you need to send proof that you are common law? I didn't have to send any proof that I was married...

    On the statutory declaration, it says what documentary evidence do you have that would indicate that you are common law partners? Do I just say what I could provide if asked? I have photos, plane tickets, shared phone bill, mail addressed to same address, letters, postcards, car insurance in both names.

    Did you do the Come to Canada checklist? If so that lists what documents you need to submit for the IEC. As IEC does not grant implied status to spouse/common-law partners, I would be surprised if you need to fill in that declaration. I might be wrong though.

    Passport
    Digital Photo
    Police Cert
    Family information

    When I went to download the forms and checklist there were some that were 'if applical' so I presumed I would have to fill it in? Did others fill in this form??

    Also for this question what should my answer be? I f we are both applying for our separate visas? Will you be coming to Canada with a spouse or common-law partner who is, or will be, working in Canada as a temporary worker or who is, or will be, a full-time student at a university, community college, CEGEP or other authorized educational institution?
    Sorry, I have been up all night trying to get this right as my deadline is tomorrow so Im really stressed out with it! thank you so much for replying!!

    I put in No for that question (and i think other people did). I think answering yes there implies that it is a joint application and one will be relying on the other for status. As I said, IEC does not allow implied status.

    From reading up it looks like IMM5409E is only required when one partner is trying to get implied status so I don't see why it would be required. Maybe someone who has stated common-law could be able to answer better. But like I said neither myself or my wife were asked for proof of marriage and we both got POE.

    I think my fiancé and I selected common law, as opposed to single, but we didn't fill in any extra forms, certainly not one that needed signing by a commissioner of oaths! I think in the letter of explanation, we both just mentione that were engaged but applying separately so it had no bearing on our application.

    And yes, just upload everything you can today, and in te letter of explanation, explain you couldn't get everything before the expiry date of the CAL, which was shorter than standard. You'll be fine.

    I've already answered variations of this questions several times of the forum; I'm very surprised you didn't read through the threads and see that.

    i can find the question loads but not really the answer.. I have Schedule 1 form in my optional section and says 'not provided' in the details box, just want to confirm that I do Not have to fill in this from and send it with my application?? its only if I was applying for residency so doesnt apply to me?
    I uploaded two visa pictures from that website idphotoforu in a pdf, have no police check so uploaded 1 from 2009 and explained in my extra letter.

    Hi there

    Just wondering if someone could clarify something for me. I remember when I filled out the Come to Canada questionnaire I specified the province I planned on travelling to. My plans have now changed and I am considering other provinces. I'm just wondering does my choice in the Come to Canada questionnaire limit me to that province seeing as my POE doesn't seem to specify a province?

    Thanks a mil :)

    Hi there

    Just wondering if someone could clarify something for me. I remember when I filled out the Come to Canada questionnaire I specified the province I planned on travelling to. My plans have now changed and I am considering other provinces. I'm just wondering does my choice in the Come to Canada questionnaire limit me to that province seeing as my POE doesn't seem to specify a province? I'd say there is a pretty obvious answer but I can't be bothered contacting someone official :)

    Thanks a mil :)

    You are free to live and work in any province.
