Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!
So if you've been in Canada on your IEC visa for over six months, does this mean you need a Canadian police check too?

Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!
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?

Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!
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?

Great stuff that it looks like IEC will be opening earlier this year. Just got an email saying it will be "in the next few weeks" - sounds promising!

"CIC will also do background checks in all the countries or territories in which you and your family members have lived. These checks will determine if you have had any arrests or convictions, or if you are a security risk to Canada."
If they're doing background checks anyway, then why do we need to get police certificates ourselves?

Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!
Hello everyone, new member here.
Just a question for anyone who'll listen: I recently returned from Canada after completing my 1-year working visa (through BUNAC) and was told that to apply for a new visa, I was not to bother contacting BUNAC whatsoever.
I heard about IEC through reading these forums and was wondering what my chances are of getting another one.
I really want to go back, and any assistance you can offer to help me doing so will be really appreciated.
Thanks all.

Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!
Going through the IMM1295 form at the moment and I've got to the Details of Intended work in Canada section.
Section 1, according to the notes we need to select International Experience Canada Program as you'd expect.
Section 2, 3 & 5, "You do not need to enter any details of your prospective employer, unless you already have this information." however it then states "If you do not know yet what your occupation will be, enter "unknown" under "Details of my perspective employer" of the work permit application form (IMM1295). You may also enter "unknown" under the heading "Brief description of duties". Both of these fields are mandatory and you will not be able to validate your form unless you complete them"
So, "unknown" needs to be entered on Section 4, Brief description of duties, but where else? Maybe Job title also in Section 4? It doesn't mention anything about Intended location (question 3) or Duration of expected employment (question 5) either.
Thoughts?
