I'm kinda worried about the whole bank thing though as soo many people seem to have made mistakes or the banks have made mistakes :/

It said in the notice of receipt that they would explain exactly what to do about payment in the next email I get......so hopefully all goes well.

OK, so there are 88 visas left on the webstie! My passport will be coming back tomorrow and I am sending for my police certificate immediately. Should have the VISA application sent off by the 29th May. If I get my VISA sent off by then, what do you think the likelihood of getting a VISA is?

Does the 88 remaining that 88 applications are remaining or 88 confirmed visas?

Anyone else in the same situation?

Im in the exact same situation as your bf except mine was paid at the end of march, still nothing, my gf has received her visa and everything. I have neither received a negative or positive reponse and was told by go4less to hound them with emails daily.

Its horrible waiting to find out because I cant reapply and Im going to have to wait until Jan to get another opportunity.

Hi Dean,

You're leaving it tight. Call the guards and ask them can you collect your Certificate. I did this, I went to Blanchardstown with a box of chocolates and waited for it late at night and got it!
The 88 visas are what's left.
Step on it if you can.
I had a disaster last year and missed it.
This year, I had the misfortune to use GlobalVisas.com and they botched my application by giving me a GB form to complete so it was rejected in March.
I put a third application together in one day, I begged the Guards to help me and they did. I used a same day courier and that worked out fine.
I finally have that visa, but all I can say is, if you really want it, you have to pull out all the stops.
GO FOR IT!!!!!

Write to re-ldn.iec@international.gc.ca and quote your WTN number in the Subject field.
I was having problems and they did get back to me this way.
It's a most painful, frustrating process and I've been to hell and back with it so if I can help anyone, I will.

Was being a bit sarcastic in my previous post, I'll be waiting 2 weeks tomorrow but I don't really expect to be asked for payment anytime soon, heard of people waiting 5+ weeks to be asked for payment!!

Then another 5 or so weeks to get their LOI!

Luckily not planning to go til September/October so I'm in no rush!

Couple of posts up has the email to contact them so I'd just hound them everyday until they get back to you.

Ask AIB to give you some kind of reference number for the payment so the IEC can match it to your application as long as it's still active. Ask them to email the IEC too, don't take no for an answer!

Heard of this happening before so I'd advise people to physically go to an AIB with money in hand to make sure the bank teller does everything correctly.

Pretty sure that if your application is active then you have a visa reserved as long as everything else works out.

Good luck!

I have emailed them with the reference from the bank don't tink they will get back thought have emailed them twice a day this week. Im hoping they are leaving all the bank mistakes and do them all together at the end hopefull thinking. its such a bad setup by the IEC and the bank fecked up so many. Have flights booked and all for july13th.

Yeh I just email them daily trying to get an answer from them. Im still hoping but doubt I'll get it.

We arn't able to go until Oct which is long enough, now we'll have to wait longer.

[alanmc87]

might just reapply worth a shot i guess. i rang usit and they suggested geting onto my local TD as they can get in contact with them or the irish ammbassador for canada.

I'm basing that on the fact that I've seen the number go up before and I'd say that's applications that have been rejected

Got my notice of receipt so fingers crossed not waiting too long for the payment stage BF is over there waiting on me!

Hi heading over a week from today. Extremely excited but worried also. Paid for my visa last Friday but going by some of my friends who paid for those last Wednesday and got their acceptance of payment on Monday I hopefully will get mine sometime today. I more than likely will have to crossover without my visa and so I'll have to flagpole. Heading to Vancouver so it's not too bad.
My actual question is though I don't think I will have the 2500 dollars that you need in your bank account. Will this really matter? I heard of people who did it last year and they said they just got their parents to act as guarantors or something. Thanks for any advice and sorry if it's been asked already!

Not sure if that was allowed this year but you were allowed to have a guarantor last year.
We werent asked for proof of funds when we got here but that might be an isolated case.
Oh Vancouver is pretty ezpensive and there is huge competition for jobs so bring all the cash you can!
