Re: IEC 2016
The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed. If the visa office asks you to complete a criminal record check, visit the RCMP website for instructions.
Having been involved with this process for a number of years and applied myself having lived in Canada, you don't need to get one unless they come to you. Save yourself the money and stress

You have just been informed by 2 separate posters you don't require an RCMP check (one poster being a CBSA officer).
Up to you either way

Re: IEC 2016
Does anyone have any experience getting a WHV with health conditions? I received my ITA on Tuesday. I've found insurance that will cover me for when I'm there so that shouldn't be a problem but it's still worrying me.
Also, I have a gap of 1 year in employment from a few years ago. Is this likely to make a difference? Do I need to explain this or just leave it as unemployed? I've been working for the last 18 months.

An employment gap won't make a difference either.

Re: IEC 2016
My girlfriend has had her invitation to apply this week 
so around a 3 week turnaround for her - quick question regarding proof of funds (I don't remember from when I went)
Do you need to submit proof of the minimum C$2500 during the application at any time? Or just take bank statements for when you enter Canada?
Thanks

Visitors insurance for IEC work permit
Hi all,
One of my friends just got accepted through the IEC this year and is wondering what companies are good for the insurance needed for his stay in Canada? Anybody have any advice on that? Many thanks.

Re: Visitors insurance for IEC work permit
I'm going to be doing research on this myself once I get my PoE however I hear True Traveller cover the 24 month period that IEC work permits allow.

Re: IEC 2016
No idea on the number of rounds, but according to the website 2330 ITA's have been issued so far - although it only seems to be updated on Wednesdays, so presumably there's another weeks worth to be added tomorrow.
