Surely this demonstrates that a confirmation of receipt email is surely not the same as being 'approved' - assigned a place - right?

Re: International Experience Canada
Hi,
I have had such a hassle with the IEC this year - with my first application being rejected because I didn't include the original family info form. I am already in Toronto so this has been stressing me out so much.
My second application timeline has been as follows:
NOR: 8th May (2 weeks after sending the application)
Payment Request: 25th May
Payment Sent: 25th May (from Canada)
Fingers crossed that it will all get approved now and in a timely fashion. Just seen that the website has been updated with the following:

It is very badly written and doesn't really say whether anyone who has already got their NOR will have a place so kind of annoying!

Re: International Experience Canada
I hate this process, just got an email saying they cant find my payment. They are asking for:
• Name of the holder of the account from which the payment was made (this is
important if payment was made from an account which is not in your name)
• Date of when payment was made
• Amount paid
• Your account number
• Reference number and name of the financial institution from which your payment
was made
• Reference number for this payment which was given to you by the financial
institution
• Information on the reference line of your payment, as inserted by your financial
institution
• Your WTN
I have no idea what the different reference numbers are, they are asking for 3. Is there no number I can call to speak to them?

Re: International Experience Canada
Judging by the last few days it seems that people in the batch from the 4th of May are people receiving their payment requests. I'm not sure how they can continue to accept requests for a batch on Monday the 28th - nearly 3 weeks later, if they weren't treating the NOR as being a valid 'place' (as far as the counter is concerned)
If it's based on a request for payment then I think anyone who has applied in the last week should be a little wary, but I just can't see an organisation like this putting themselves in a situation where they have to mail back 3 weeks worth of the last applications - that could well be around a thousand of the things.
Ahh who am I kidding - i'm trying to be optimistic but I just feel like it'd be better if they didn't give us this bloody countdown!

Re: International Experience Canada
It seems to be around 3 weeks to a month between NOR and payment request - I got my NOR on 16th so looks like I could be waiting a long time before I find out. Have a feeling I won't have made it this time around.... gutted. Oh well, there's always next year.

I've replied to this by putting name of the bank and sortcode as the financial institution. The reference number i had when i look on my online statement is just the WTN number and for the info on the reference line of payment ive literally copy and pasted everything it says about the payment on my statement? Im not sure if this is all right, it seems so pointless as ive already paid.

Re: International Experience Canada
I got this too, as did a lot of people. I received the email a few seconds after sending the electronic copy of the form. I wasn't sure about the reference details, so I gave everything but. Hopefully this is some sort of admin error on their part. I'll re-send an email with the reference numbers if I find them, and I suggest you do the same to be safe!

Re: International Experience Canada
Hello,
I am slightly confused because mine says this:
"Your application to study or work in Canada has been approved." My friends does not say that she can study so I am wondering what the difference is? Is it not a working holiday? I thought studying was not allowed if longer than 6 months? It does however say, Type - Work PT!
I am currently a student and will finish my studies next week. Does anyone know if this means I am able to apply for two more in the future or just one more, because I am sure if you are a student it is almost like it's not counted.
Also, I was thinking of entering Canada as a tourist and then changing to the IEC programme when I've found a job to help give me the whole 12 months, is this possible?
Good luck for all of those still waiting. My fingers are crossed.
