I presume so. Maybe add a small note explaining that you're not in contact. It can do harm. You can add it as a letter of explanation under optional documents.

Can anyone who has submitted all the stage 2 application post here when you have received you're visa. I know it's a different time scale for everyone and it's says "up to six weeks", but it will still be nice to see how quickly they are getting through them.

Print and sign the 5707e, scan it then upload it. No need to print or sign 1295e, just validate it, save it and upload it.

*You do not need to sign your application form by hand if you submit your application form online. You will be asked to provide a digital signature once you are ready to transmit your documents to CIC.

Just read on the website that if you want to work in certain jobs you need a medical, anyone went for one before? I'll have to go as my occupation is a childcare worker, i dont plan on working in childcare over in canada but it's on my CV so i suppose i should get one just incase?

If you won't be working in childcare in Canada, I wouldn't think it's applicable. The working holiday WP is just an open one, not tied to any specific industry.

IF i want to work in childcare over in canada i'll need it though? Would employers look for a medical cert or is it just for immigration? I want to keep my options open and work where ever pays the most..

I submitted my CIC yesterday. Got a confirmation mail to say it was received about 5 mins later. Didn't have the complete addresses of all my family members so just put the city & Country on that form. Hope that doesn't cause issues. I printed the Family form, signed it and scanned it back up. Just validated the other one.

Will post on this if I get any feedback from them.

this thread from last year everyone is saying they signed the 5707 form. I know it says on the 1295 form not to sign,but the 5707 form i think you print it, sign, scan and upload it.

*pipes up from the dunce corner* How do you download the forms?
under required docs when I click the IMM1295 it opens in a new window, I can edit it there but when I close it, it's gone. Am I missing a 'download' button or something?

EDIT: I figured it out!

I see that they gave an exact time for when round one opened. Was 8pm Dublin time accurate and will they also give a time for the opening of round two?

I can't open the second message they sent me HELP?

The second message is usually just to confirm they received payment and the documents you uploaded. On the landing page of your Kompass account, has "pending" changed to "submitted" under upload required documents and IEC participation fee? If so then everything is fine so far. It should also say "(In progress)" under IEC eligibility assessment.

Thanks when should that change to submitted

It should have already changed. Is the subject of the second message you got "Notification of receipt of payment and supporting documents"?

Well then it sounds like everything is normal. I wouldn't worry just yet. The next message you get off them is the important one.

For those that have set up a CIC account.. Is it as easy to ask a question on their database as it is with kompass?

I havn't my condition letter of acceptance yet but I could be doing with asking a question ASAP so might set up a CIC account to get it out of the way.

Sorry to ask this again but, as I previously said, there's absolutely no margin for error with all this.

Yes it opened at 8 on the dot. The Round 2 opening date will be on the website at some stage, just keep checking it!

robcarty011rc

I'm filing out the IMM 5707E form and was just checking to see what you guys have done for the first part of secion A.

The question being asked is 'Will accompany you to Canada - Yes/No' .. Now obviously its no for Mother father & spouse but for the applicant do we say Yes or just leave it blank.

Guys, you DO NOT need to print, sign and scan either form in MyCIC.

By doing this, you're creating a completely unnecessary step for yourself!!! This issue was a major source of confusion for people last year as well and a lot of people just followed the crowd and did it out of fear that if they didn't they'd be rejected. I decided to just heed the instructions written there in black and white that you dont need to sign ANYTHING by hand and I got my POE within the week.

Hi all!
Quick question re Garda certs, we got our certs done in nov 2013 not thinking the iec would take so long. These are now 5 months old, do we need to get fresh ones or will these suffice? It's says nothing on cic about how recent they should be. We have not committed any crimes since nov btw so we can get new ones its just a bit of a pain!

You need new ones you will get refused straight away

Hi Folks, another quick question regarding the family information form. With regards to my partner, I presume I indicate "No" for the "will accompany you to canada?" question? He's applying as well but I'm presuming, seeming as they've stated in the past that partners need to apply for their own visas, that we should indicate that we are not accompanying each other?

Refused to the point where they will just ask for newer ones or to the point where your visa is rejected?

Still waiting on CAL but just wondering for those who are in/have done stage 2; If you have multiple polices certs do they have to be in the same PDF or can they be uploaded separately?

last year i got my garda cert at the beginning of February but didn't actually end up applying for stage 2 until July. I thought about getting a new one but I decided to just chance it with the old one and there was no issues with it! Now I honestly dont know if I was just lucky, or maybe they're not that strict with them, OR they just have to be in date for when the program opens (not for when you hit submit on stage 2). But I just thought I'd let you know that I was ok with 5 month old ones. TBH if my heart was absolutely set on Canada I'm not sure I'd leave it up to chance, I'd probably just get new ones to be totally sure...

Hi all,
I have a question regarding my Garda cert! It has my name and middle name on it because this is what appears on my birth cert, but all my forms to date have just my first name because this is what's on my passport! Does anyone know if my Garda cert will be refused?

I didn't have to but you put all the certs in 1 Odf file cause there's only one upload space for police cert uploads

Guys,
Anyone travelling as a couple i.e Boyfriend & Girlfriend (not Husband & Wife)?
Just wondering in the CIC questionaire when they ask "are you travelling with another person", what did u answer to this?

Also did you choose "Comon Law Partners" or "Single" in the Marital Status?

We have lived together for 3 years but we left this rented accom off our police certs and just put our family homes on it.
Should we continue to follow the "Single" status or what?

I'm traveling with the girlfriend.

Unless you are married/have a civil partnership or have dependants you are not traveling with anyone and are single.

Traveling with another person would be "no" unless your married or have dependants surely?

Single unless you have a Comon law partner or are married.

Ok thanks for the quick reply.

Hi everyone,

I have a question in relation to the IMM1295E form in the employment section. I have been unemployed since September 2013 and I have been doing a part-time course since, which I completed last week. My question is on the form where the From and To dates are should I fill in when I became unemployed which was last September in the From date and should I leave the To date blank. Also should I put in my location in city/town.

Any info will be appreciated.

For anyone that's onto stage 2, for the employment details part of the form if you don't have enough room are you adding the extra document to the 'Letter of Explanation' part??

Also should do I need to explain the gaps in my employment??

Yeah add it in the extra in thehe letters of explanation part. There's no need to explain the gaps

scubie steve

How long do you have to complete stage 2 I keep seeing either 90 days or 6 months! Big difference

Flutterby33

I think you have 60 days from when you start your CIC application

harbourman

Hi All! What insurance company is offering the best policy that meets all of the requirements?

You have 90 days. This date is stated on your CAL.

However if you start the CIC application then I think you only have 60 days from that date.

If you are planning to wait until 2 or 3 months is up to submit it then I would not open your CIC account for at least 1 month after you have your CAL.
