Re: IEC 2015
When we have created My CIC account, and began the application to find out what documents we would need, it has allowed spouse and children on this application as (if I remember correctly) temporary residents.
"Under the IEC program requirements, applicants may not list a dependant or dependants (i.e., spouse or common-law partner and children) on their application to benefit from the IEC program. This means that an applicant and their family members may not benefit from the IEC program as a family unit under one IEC application. However, this does not prevent dependant(s) from submitting their own individual request to come to Canada (e.g., spouse may submit their own application to benefit from the IEC program).
CIC has no specific policy prohibiting spouses and dependants of IEC participants from joining them in Canada. However, the spouse and dependant(s) must be admissible to Canada based on their own merits. Family members will have to answer the Come to Canada Wizard questions for themselves and have their own MyCIC account.
Likewise, the children of an IEC participant are not eligible to obtain a study permit by virtue of the participant’s IEC application. They must submit their own application for a study permit if they intend to study in Canada."
This is specifically what's troubling me.

Re: IEC 2015
To me this reads that you can't take your spouse and kids on an IEC? But I may just be seeing that because I'm a tad stressed. Can anyone see it from another point of view?

Re: IEC 2015
From my reading of it (although it's hard to say for sure without seeing it in context or the whole link), it doesn't look as though that's changed. Dependants of IEC holders have always needed their own status (e.g. Study permit or visitor visa) but can accompany if they have that.

I read that link as I would have to apply for IEC, or have a job with a LMIA etc. and the children wouldn't be eligible for school.
Thanks

Re: IEC 2015
Sorry to be a pest, but do you think we should apply for TRV separately from the IEC application? Due to what is said above?
Thanks

Re: IEC 2015
You wouldn't need a TRV as you're a UK citizen presumably, so visa exempt? Your kids will need study permits though won't they? That's not changed, they've always needed study permits if the parent is on an IEC I think?

Re: IEC 2015
If they are holders of non visa requiring passports they can accompany but cannot work or study. They usually accompany the IEC LOI holder and get issued visitor records at the Port of Entry. The children can attend school.
Normally very few families do it this way as its hard for the other family member to get a work permit. Most IEC applicants are single due to the age restrictions.
Supporting a family on just one wage can be very hard.

Re: IEC 2015
I have a quick question regarding proof of address for the police certificate. I live in a shared house and none of the bills are in my name, my mobile bill and bank statements are all electronic so I'm having a tricky time finding suitable documents to send.
I have a small amount of money invested via an investment company and they sent me a letter in November. Do you think that would be suitable?
I also have one generic letter from Nationwide Building Society telling me about a new current account, and one letter from the council informing me about a house inspection that we are having soon. These are both from Feb 2015 and the FAQ on the police website says the letters should ideally be from different months. Does anyone know which two might be the most suitable to send?
Thanks

Re: IEC 2015
I'm a freelancer, so I don't have an official payslip as such but I do have a remittance advice from a company that I invoiced. Do you think that suffice? Otherwise I don't really have any other options.
Edit: I'm guessing that the standard service for the police cirtificate is cutting it a bit fine if the application door opens any day now?
