IEC 2014 Stage 2 Thread - All Stage 2 questions here!

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.]

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After messing up and having my CAL expire before i uploaded the last of my docs in the myCIC stage i have now withdrawn my application back in the Kompass website.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?

Anybody know what the story is here?

It's at there discretioni think won't be fast anyway. Heard some people last year still didn't have it and that was Close to it opening this year

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

Hi,When i was converting my cv to iec template i put wrong date on previous employment and now have 3 year gap in cv.Will this go against me??Also if a get to stage 2 and have to fill employment history will i keep it the same or update it??

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

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.

We did as you advised and he got an email back today asking for an up to date cert which he now has so problem solved. Thanks for the advice

Hi im on stage 2 of the application and im filling in the IMM1295E. where its asks for "Country where applying for" it asks for a date of immigration, is this the date i plan to use my visa and that its only valid for then? Thanks

2 other questions:

Do i have to print the family information form as it asks in multiple areas for a signature?

How do i go about getting a garda police certificate for the clearance part?

Thanks

"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.. ?

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.
