You will get 1 year if the IEC was from 2014.
Whoever told you the above is talking rubbish

Re: IEC 2015
I wouldn't be so dismissive. I've know of people who came over on IEC last year with Irish passports and were only given one year visas because that's all the border agent said they could give them. They had to chase up CIC to get the correct length.

Re: IEC 2015
Here's the evidence of what I was told on the CIC IEC page:
If you participated in IEC before 2015 for a period of up to 12 months, you are eligible for a second participation of up to 24 months. Those who participated in IEC more than once before 2015 are no longer eligible to apply.

Re: IEC 2015
I know people on the facebook pages that have got their two years so I stand by my statement.
If the border agent refuses to give the 24 months when you have all evidence they require then ask to their superviser.

Re: IEC 2015
That is because the agents dont know that the length has changed. I am taking the information on the CIC page to show them if they try and only give me a year and i have all other proofs (insurance, bank statement etc)

Re: IEC 2015
Ah well, it's all over for my sister. She got rejected for not submitting her application in time. Her CAL had an expiry of 14 days but when she went to upload it to CIC, it gave her a 60 day deadline so she assumed that was the correct one. She has screenshots to prove everything she said and has appealed IEC's decision but with no luck. Seems a little unfair to have two different sets of info and to make two different decisions (someone else on another website had the same issue and they got their LOI thing anyway). Good luck to everyone else who's still waiting to hear and have a great time!

Re: IEC 2015
If your conditional acceptance letter has expired after the 14 days is there nothing that can be done about it, do you have to wait until next year again? Mine came through a lot quicker than I expected and I was on holiday, so it has now expired.
Can you even start the process again this year?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
I have e-mailed them but no response back.

You will need to reapply when the 2016 IEC opens

Thank you for the info. I actually never got an e-mail to my normal account about it which I expected, but then it was my own fault for not checking my kompass inbox!

Re: IEC 2015
Hey guys, quick question - we're moving to Oz in the near future and due to quarantine rules for pets will need to stay (but not work) beyond the expiry of the IEC visa by 4 days.
I know we can apply online to change status to visitor to cover this but does that instantly put you on implied status, i.e. we'd have to stop work as of that day, or just from the point when the work permit expires?
Thanks!
