Re: IEC 2014
I have heard some sources say that you can only submit 3 jobs regarding your work experience in the kompass account. Many people will of course had more than 3 jobs in the last 10 years as evident in their CV.
Does it matter if there is a discrepancy then between the Work Experience in the CV you provide and the section on work in your Kompass account?
Apologies for such a nitpicky question (nerves kicking in)

According to this blog about the step by step process (written by someone who did the IEC last year) he says:
"... You will need to input your employment history here, at this point you will be given up to 3 spaces for each job you have had in the last 10 years, if like most people you have had more than 3 then you will need to send them a message with your CV attached AFTER you have submitted your application. You will only be able to do this after you have submitted so don’t panic... "

Re: IEC 2014
I have a german passport, and part of their IEC opened today already (only the internship and young professionals category).
I was already able to make my Kompass Account already tho.
It didn't take me more than 10 minutes, maybe even only 5. It's the very basic personal information, lost of security questions that you should definitely write down for future reference, but nothing that requires much thought. I guess the work history will take up most of your time.
A question regarding the copy of our passports: do you think a photograph is fine? There is no way I can find access to a scanner, not even my local libraries have any.

Re: IEC 2014
So basically you list your last 3 employers (in my case my 2 present employers as I have two jobs and then the previous one). After the application is submitted and they confirm this with the WTN number I can then send them a message saying 'resume attached' and attached it..?

Re: IEC 2014
Heres another question. On the form it asks if you are Single/Married/Divorced/Common Law
I have lived with my partner for 3 years, but I've just found out that Common Law partnerships do not exist in the UK (who knew!!)
Should I still tick Common Law (as by Canadian definition we are). The reason I'm a little worried is hopefully down the line we will apply for PR and this may prove to be important.

You can sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner (partner), or dependent children if you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. To be a sponsor, you must be 18 or older.
Canada deems you to be common law if you have lived together and prove that you are in a relationship for one consecutive year. Its not enough to say I have lived with them for a year you have to prove that you are dependent on one another, joint bank account, paying bills etc.

And the end of the day (and the beginning) there is no harm in putting references on. More information (that is relevant) the better. Don't make it too cluttered though.

They are asking for your status in Ireland or the UK not Canada.
