Hey,
It says to fill in your work experience for the past 10 years, but it only gives you 3 spaces, which only brings me back to 2008, is that ok?

If you look at the tutorial videos, you'd know to provide an extra sheet to fully complete your work experience upto 10 years. The spaces provided by default are assumed enough for *most* applicants.

Hello all,

So I am progressing through my CiC application.

I had a first question regarding the additional employment section, after watching the video it seems to mention adding a second 1295E form, I assume with just the additional employments entered, leaving the rest blank.

I assume this is submitted as an 'Optional Document' in the stated section?

Also, does anybody else have Schedule 1 (i.e: 5257B) listed as an optional document? I haven't heard anyone else mention it, just wanted to make sure I don't require to submit this.

Thanks for anyone helping me out!

Hi, for stage 2 did anyone use the resume you uploaded in stage 1 or did you create an actual c.v?

Same one is fine, their is very little difference between resume/C.V. I assume you followed the IEC template originally?

Is there a video guide for this form? *IMM 5707E*. Maybe I have Monday brain, but it's not that obvious to me how-to fill it in. :pac: (Also, the DOB field doesn't seem big enough)

Also, do I have to actually print and sign it?

Nevermind, looks like it's OK not sign this to confirm you have no spouse.

That www.epassportphoto.com website is a pain, dimensions are grand, but resolution/file size is too small every time. I tried a few different pictures.
My advice to anyone, get a friend/ family member to take a picture with your phone of you against a neutral background, edit size with GIMP, export to jpeg, and it'll be the correct photo size andfile size.

I'm not going to look at mycic until tomorrow but I was thinking of taking photo off camera and using this http://www.idphoto4you.com ??

(c) Print, sign and date the form.
(d) For best results:
- print on white, bond-quality, non-glossy paper and
- use a laser printer.
(e) Place the barcode page on top of your package. If you have more than one package, place a separate barcode page on each one.

You must submit your application to the Canadian visa office or Visa Application Center (VAC) responsible for your area. Consult the relevant visa office or its website regarding accepted methods of submitting applications (for example, general mail, in person, by courier etc.)

FIY This info from your link seems to apply to people sending the application physically by post to the embassy, which obvs Irish participants dont do. It only mentions printing the whole application, says nothing about scanning.

Just want to reassure people who didn't print, sign and scan that their application will be fine!

I know I'm probably asking the obvious, but for the two forms - do you need to print them off and upload them or can you simply fill them out electronically, save them to your desktop and upload them? I'm confused by the instructions on the website and on here.

I don't see anything confusing about the post above yours by Delira. No you don't print the forms of to sign them. Just download them to the computer, fill them out and re-upload them. You will be asked for a electronic signature before submitting the CIC part!

Kaizersoze81 · 25-03-2014 10:50pm

Just submitted cic application. Hopefully POE won't take too long

hopefully have it before round 2 opens and the staff get snowed under again.

Thanks, EI. I must be suffering from an information overload resulting in my brain being fried or something. Thanks again.

I got an e-mail yesterday evening to say "Your application has been updated...etc" but when I logged into my CIC account nothing had changed

It's still only the first message to say my application had been submitted. I don't know why they insist on playing with my emotions!

Hah, I was the same, I got an email a few hours after submitting the application and thought "God, they process these quickly!". But it was just a confirmation email. Sigh. :P

Ha! Yeah.. but I got my confirmation E-mail on Friday, same thing happened. Then they sent me an E-mail yesterday evening to say my account had been updated and nothing had changed in myCIC no new messages, nothing!! I am unimpressed and confused! Dammit Canada, just let me give you my taxes!!

Oh, nothing on the website's changed to say "In progress" or that you need extra documents? That is strange.. Probably another of the many technical difficulties IEC have been experiencing lately!

Nope

Application Status Open
Review of medical results Not needed at this time
Review of submitted documents No additional documents are needed at this time
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
Review of biometric information Not needed at this time
A final decision has been reached Not Started

I would say so yes. I am not going to think about it too much and hope they get back to me (for real) in the next day or two. Imagine the stress of working in the CIC office.. gas craic.
