I refuse to get excited until Mods check this out.

The ol' cynical nature in me is strong here.

Not sure if genuine or cruel joke...

My stomach just did flip flops! :P
I can't help getting excited but until it's on the official IEC web page......

Knex*

Closed account already...

Mods will know if that was a rereg account, too.

Smellysack

I will try to call the canadian embassy to get this confirmed.

Looks legit

Buzz Killington or wha'?
I bet you don't even believe in the Easter Bunny! :pac:

Smellysack

They told me that it is not true and that the only confirmation we will get is from the website.
They confirmed to me that this is not an official account.

bopper

Well it makes complete sense that the secretary of the Canadian Embassy would choose boards.ie to make the official announcement.

Knex*

Well, if the poster who spoofed that has an original account, by Boards rules they'll be banned.

Hope it was worth it.

Smellysack

yeah, I just wanted to get it confirmed for everyone, so that no one runs off and books that day off of work for no reason

SmellySack has a whole 8 posts, he is assumed legit now too? :rolleyes:
WHO CAN WE TRUST?! :pac:


The IEC's official page, and that's the only place we can trust for sure.

Smellysack

If you want you can call the canadian embassy as well. their phone number is easy to find.
I just thought I would save people the hassle and the trouble of listening to some prankster.

Don't suppose they gave you any sneaky little tips on when they would be out?

Smellysack

No unfortunatily not. I was hoping for some news that I could relay back, but she said that we won't get any info until it is posted on the IEC website.

eenm

It's really just all a bit mad. I don't see why they can't issue some sort of statement to say
"ok fellas, there's been a delay, we've been messing around a bit but don't worry yourselves, you can expect them in March/April/May."

Faith

Please assume that was not a legitimate post from the "Embassy of Canada"

Smellysack

Yeah, I have been looking at the page everyday since early January, I know there are many on this forum that have been checking longer than that, but it is so frustrating having to do that, just to see no change at all

Trying to attach a screenshot of my Kompass Account showing where you can update your passport number - lets see if this works!

Thank you very very much!! You have made me feel an awful lot better

Mr E

It was a troll, guys - I've edited his post to remove the content.

Knex*

Cheers for the clarification.

Hope those of ye who are on tender hooks weren't too brought in by the post, folks. Not to worry anyhow, it shouldn't be too long now.

Only an idiot would believe that post, some of you's are ridiculously daft.

You're such a masterfully eloquent user of modern day prose.

Canada will love you.
