Re: International Experience Canada
Hi guys, this is my first post but i wanted to say thanks to everyone as this thread has been a life saver over the last few months answering so many questions!
I finally got my request for payment today and was so relieved to be one step closer but now i have a new problem! I have been asked to send 105 euros instead of the £90 previous emails seemed to ask for. I know someone else has posted about this too but I really don't know what to do as the letter says that this is the only amount that will be accepted, but everyone else has sent £90. On the IEC website here it says it's about £90 but depends on exchange rate!http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca...is.aspx?view=d
I've just converted it and 150 canadian dollars is now more than £90. I'm so worried about being rejected for underpaying! Do you think i could pay £100 just to make sure or can you get rejected for paying the wrong amount even if it's too much? Any help would really be appreciated!

For anybody who has had to get their LOI re-sent to them for whatever reason, what e-mail address did you use to get it sorted?

Re: International Experience Canada
Just to clarify when a spot is reserved for you -
You have a spot reserved for you, after you have passed IEC evaluation - once you receive the payment request letter (letter code 15)..

Re: International Experience Canada
I'm in the same boat - they asked me for 105 euro today and I was expecting to pay in £ - however all the Brits here have said they got asked to pay £90, which is roughly 107 euro anyway - i'm going to transfer £90 since you can't possibly get in trouble for overpaying!

I got my payment request today! Have avoided the forums/FB group and checking the quota for a while because it was worrying the hell out of me. I was really disheartened when I saw the announcement today, then a few hours later I received the email. So relieved.
Any I digress - I've also been asked to send 105 Euros? Weird. Can you let me know what you decide to do? Like you mentioned, I have no problem sending an over payment but am worried they'll even be picky about that. There is no room at all for error now so would appreciate any advice.
thanks

Re: International Experience Canada
Hi Kate, I got my payment request today too, so happy! Mine also said €105 and I went to pay online and decide that I'm just going to pay what they've asked. However Natwest are having issues with their international payments so I have to go into a branch tomorrow to do my payment, I'll let you know what I do tomorrow

Hi there, thanks IEC UK-Ireland for all your replies! I received my payment request today but i'm from the UK and the amount requested was 105 euros instead of the £90 as indicated on your website and paid by everyone up until this weekend. I know other people have had the same thing happen since friday - is this an error on this batch of letters?
Iec UK-IRELAND Yes a very small number of letters were sent out to GB applicants only.. Requesting payment of 105 euros.. for those specific applicants who received that letter, they can pay either 105 euros or 90 pounds..

Re: International Experience Canada
Just wondering what your result was with this - did you use online banking in the end? I'm so concerned with doing everything they've asked for so might go into the branch and then find some way of scanning the receipt.
Thanks

Re: International Experience Canada
So worried they are looking at my application at ways to reject me... Anybody heard of any application being rejected at the final stage? I have a clean criminal record and currently in Canada with a few months left and I don't know what else to say.
Been passed on to the CIC on the 9th so that's nearly 3 weeks ago while other applications have been evaluated by the IEC in 10-14 days

Does anyone know of rejection reasons at the CIC stage?

Another batch of LOI's went out this morning. My girlfriend and her friend received theirs at 1am. They paid back at the end of April but they changed their mind about opting for a visa that requires a medical.

Does anyone have the link to the IEC facebook page? It sounds useful if they are actually answering questions (since emails are hardly ever replied to 
)!

Re: International Experience Canada
has anyone who paid on the 25th May 2012 and immediately received the letter requesting further proof of payment actually received formal confirmation that payment has been received and moved to the next stage.
