Re: IEC 2015
In a choice between Ireland or Australia - I know where I would rather be heading. Anyway this is off topic now as I think maybe I'll keep to chatting about the UK IEC which is what this is about.

Re: IEC 2015
I have had two IEC permits in last couple of years and that has allowed me to send an app for PR through common law, fingers crossed. I owe a lot to this program as there is no way i would have made it to Canada. I will be lurking and helping where i can with my experience of the last two years. Good luck everyone.

Re: IEC 2015
I have a ridiculously large amount riding on getting IEC for 2015. I've already been here in Edmonton for 5 months visitor plus 10 months on my 2014 IEC TWP.
I have a Canadian step kid, Canadian wife, Canadian car, Canadian job, responsibilities and not the money to be flying in and out if I don't get the IEC but I get the Spouse PR in 11 month's time. I just cannot go back to England!
I'll be all over this.
In fact, I'm looking to start making large contributions to this site's wiki.

It seems spousal sponsorship seems to be the way to go after IEC. Also seems to be easier for the male population regarding meeting someone. I'm guessing Canadian men are not that impressed with British women lol - I'm certainly finding that

Re: IEC 2015
Probably doesnt like the idea of not being able to work as well via the outland application. You can certainly stay while being processed but would need to find an employer willing to apply for the LMIA if applicable if wanting to work.

Re: IEC 2015
Are you meaning I can stay as a visitor while waiting for PR or continue working? I don't think you mean working, but I need to check.

My job doesn't qualify for the LMIA route. It's a security job for law enforcement so well below the NOC threshold...

Haha! Yeah I've heard the horror stories from friends. When I went to Victoria I had men passing me on the street and smiling at me!!! I just nasty stares here
I've heard it's friendlier in Alberta...
Congrats!! I agree I think there are some nice guys, in Vancouver though it seems to be difficult plus I am wondering if it is slightly because people are working 2 or 3 jobs over here to keep up with rent payments - they just don't have the time.
