awesome post, i've been looking for something like this. I'm playing on doing IEC in 2013 but there doesn't seem to be blogs about peoples experience doing the IEC or living in Canada for X amount of time.

How long did it take you to find a job when you first moved out there?

Re: International Experience Canada

My experience was a little different. My first experience of coming to Canada was through AIESEC (n my blog, who is Isaac?) so I already had a job when I came over which made my coming over that much more easier.

thanks!

I did this, just be careful as trying to print the confirmation screen for Natwest is a bit funny (especially in google chrome) and I ended up printing a blank Natwest page. It is better to copy-paste into word and then save.

Nope. I'm hoping sometime this week or next. It's been nearly two weeks since I received the passed to CIC email and it seems two to three weeks is the average time lately to receive an LOI recently.
