IEC 2014
As we seem to be approaching that time of year again, and as we're getting more and more IEC related threads pop up, here is the annual thread. Please keep all IEC related questions to this thread, and it's always worth searching the thread (or last years) as most questions are asked more than once.
Good luck everybody and have fun!

christmasoompa Could I ask this question in here and you could just delete my other thread ?
Is the only things I need to worry about at this first stage and trying to be one of the 2000 to get a place on the IEC is uploading my passport picture and my CV background ?
How do they ask the passport to be uploaded ? Is it in PDF Format ?
And do you actually upload your CV or do you just fill out there form with your School, job history etc ?
And then they take 48 hours to get back to you and only then you have to worry about payment and other documents etc
Thanks for any help, I really need it I'm panicking

Re: IEC 2014
Hi there,
So i'm reading now that the IEC has been opened up to Brits for a second year (how nice). My question is, having completed my first year whilst I was a spritely 31 year old (turned 31 in Canada) am I no longer eligible to apply for my second now that I'm a decrepit 32 year old. I'm reading in some places that the age limit for brits is now 35 ? Though the CIC website begs to differ.

Thanks, Russell

If you are a British Citizen then you can apply between 18-30.

Re: IEC 2014
Just wondered if anyone knows what it means when it says "category" in terms of the quota being filled on Step 3:
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca...e_demande.aspx
And I know it's a long shot but can anyone remember exactly what info was needed for IEC application, don't want to get any nasty surprises and miss out filling the form in before the quota is filled.
And yeh Chris, I'm thinking it could be a 24 hour day for me too lol!
Thanks everyone!

Re: IEC 2014
they also get a two year visa and their quota is meant to be 10,000 this year (source: moving2canada) so I ask myself the same question considering the UK obviously couldn't be bothered to negotiate a higher quota/increase age etc - I have noticed with France, Australia and New Zealand their agreements with Canada are better then ours - sucks to be British!

Re: IEC 2014
Hey guys, Does anyone know at what point you would need to submit your police check?
This December opening has totally caught me off guard as I was expecting January at the earliest.
Also how do you know when they open on the day? I'm assuming people will be rubbing their F5 buttons to nubs. But where does it actually say OPEN lol. And I guess you can create a Compass account until that moment too.
cheers

Re: IEC 2014
As for the police cert, read the Application Step by Step Guide on the website and all will become clear......
HTH.

Re: IEC 2014
Believe it of not I checked out the home office web page and there were 5,500 WHV visas for Canadian citizens to come to the UK compared to 5,350 (ok only a difference of 150) but still hardly reciprocal..!
