Re: International Experience Canada
Looks like the Irish site is down too, so given that opened this afternoon it looks like it's just a general technical glitch - sorry guys!

Re: International Experience Canada
I think all the IECs are on different webpages of the same website, so it's possible each time a country's IEC is updated, the whole website for all of them comes temporarily down- That would explain the earlier absence of the website when the Irish IEC was being updated and hopefully it means this time, the UK IEC is finally being opened for this year!

Wonder if its going to be worth waiting a little to start te application...If all this is hosted on this server you could start filling out or uploading stuff and it crash, maybe we should wait for the flood of people to go, haha.

Re: International Experience Canada
"What does “3 years habitual residency requirement” mean?
This means that that a candidate’s habitual residence (i.e. physically residing/living) must be in the UK for a period of at least three years full-time directly prior to applying to the IEC. An exception can be made if the candidate has temporarily resided in a foreign country for studies or short-term work, but the time spent outside the UK must not exceed 18 months cumulative over the three previous years."
Endlessly confused by this rule, having been in canada across 2012 with a working holiday visa. I can't find a stipulation anywhere saying that this is also an exception to the habitual residency rule, but it is, right? You can, after all, apply for a second visa from within Canada.
