Re: International Experience Canada
Hey Guys, fingers crossed myself, my girlfriend and two our frinds will be moving to Vancouver end of July. If anyone is heading over to Vancouver for the year and wants to get in touch, we are a friendly bunch and it would be great to arrive knowing a few people already, especially if any of you are thinking of heading over for the IEC alone.
Hi!! I am hoping to be in Vancouver around August it be great to get to know a few people as I am coming on my own. Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: International Experience Canada
Hi,
This is my first post. Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat as me with their application?
Sent Application - 10th March
Receipt E-mail - 28th March
Still no payment request.
I know they have been advising there have been delays but has anyone who applied around the same time received their payment request yet? Looking back through everyone elses timelines it seems to vary wildly. I'm hoping to head out to Canada in mid-July - this should still be achieveable, right?
Also, once they request payment are you guaranteed a LOI? It seems strange that they would take your money only to deny you entry a few weeks later.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Re: International Experience Canada
Should I be worried that I sent my payment on the 24th and still haven't heard anything?

Re: International Experience Canada
Going by my timeline, I imagine if you sent payment on the 24th, then you should be getting forwarded to the visa section over the next couple of days. Paid mine on the Sunday and it was Wednesday it got forwarded, so you guys should be tomorrow or Tuesday.

Re: International Experience Canada
Hmm did you have all signatures on the family forms?
Yea mine has been sent to CIC.
For the people who sent their payments on the 24th I wouldn't worry yet as most banks take up to 2 days to send the payment and then roughly 5 days after that to be sent to CIC, luckily I'm with Lloyds TSB and they have the fast payment system so it got there within 2 hours.
As the people who sent their applications off in March seem to be getting quicker 'service', i think we will be in the next bunch of LOI's they send out.

Re: International Experience Canada
I'm wanting to pay for my visa, I'm just wondering how everyone put the reference number in? My bank wont let me put the full number in without the hyphons. Is it ok to miss these out?

I did mine through Internet banking and left the Hyphens out and it went through fine.

Re: International Experience Canada
Hi, I've been reading this thread for the past month or so and thought I should join in.
I've been filling the application form out for a second time (to make sure it's all correct) but I'm a little stumped by one of the sections; country of residence.
Seeing as I can't put Britisha and for country of residence I have put Wales as I have been living here for nearly 18 months. Before that I lived in England my whole life before I moved. So, my question is; do I need to put I lived in England for previous country of residence? Will it mess up my application if I do?
I have put the UK as my citizenship. Will the IEC team know England and Wales are part of the same country?

I also used Lloyds TSB but didn't send my payment until around 7pm on the 23rd
I'm hoping to hear from them this week. Good luck with yours
