HI

1. As long as it isn't more than 12 calendar months old when the processing of the IEC visa is complete. So it depends on how long the IEC processing is going to take.

Just looking at the application form,and i am in dublin ireland,having been on a whv in ozzi for a year, so i need to get an ozzi police clearance(living there for over 6 months).It says to send them a money order or cheque in ozzi dollars(45). I dont think i can get a postal order or cheque in ozzi dollars here because we use euro currency,can anyone advise please.

It's finally time!

edit: Just had a quick look at the two forms currently on the IEC website, they don't look too bad. There's a section on 'intended work' which I'm guessing for most people will be not applicable, which in the notes say is fine, however I'm a little confused about exactly how we need to word that.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you need a fingerprint police check which is $105.

Can someone advise me on the requirements for a Police check from other countries (Australia)

If someone lived out there for 3 months then returned home for 3 weeks and then went out for another 5 months would that require a police check. I only ask as it is not living there for a consecutive time period but does total 8 months.

Would be a lot simpler if one was not required.

You can go to your bank and get a cheque issued by the bank in the currency of your choice.

Ok slight change, im heading to Canada on the 10th Jan on my first years visa which I got this year, It looks like the IEC will be releasing the applications before i leave on the 10th, if so I guess I will put my UK home address in when im applying for the 2012 Visa as really I would be applying for my 2 separate 1 year Visas even before I enter Canada for the first time, would this be ok?

I know by the time They get my application form I might already have just landed in Canada so if they see my UK address on the application would they start asking questions?

Can anyone help on this?

Hi All,

Not really a question, just wanted to say how exciting this is finally!

It looks like it's all happening, and hopefully we'll be able to get applications into the CHC pre-Christmas! Will be a pretty good Crimbo if so...

is this part new??

"Note: If you have lived in a country other than Canada for a period of more than six months since your eighteenth birthday, you must also enclose a valid police certificate from that country. Information on how to obtain police certificates from various countries can be found on CIC's website."

i dont remember it being there last year, now need to get another police check...
my acpo one should arrive back any day now..

I need to get one from China!! This is gonna take ages cos I need to have it translated by an accredited translator as well!!

Edit: I've just been snooping around on the internet and they say that they only do police checks for people that worked there - I was a student! :S. Now I'm a bit worried...

I have this issue too. I was in China for about 9 months but left for a month in the middle.

I've been in Canada since May on a WHV and I'll be applying for a second year as soon as I'm able....does anyone know what the process will be? Will all the paperwork/proof of funds/police record check have to be resubmitted or will there be a shorter process?

Apologies if this is an obvious question!

Hi guys, it also says, in the FAQ section;

'I have spent more than six months in another country previously to applying to the IEC. Do I need to submit police certification from this country?

Generally, you are only required to submit a police certificate from the country of which you are a citizen. However, the Visa Section at the High Commission of Canada to the UK reserves the right to ask for police certificates from other countries you have visited or resided in for more than six (6) months over the last five (5) years, should it be deemed necessary.'

I wonder what happens if you did a year abroad from uni, but came back to the UK for a few days every couple of months?
