Re: Renting in Vancouver

What I have found though is that it doesn't always come up with all the Craigslist/Kijiji listings, some slip through the net somehow. Gets most of them though.

Re: Renting in Vancouver

Yeah we'd view every house we saw first. Is there anything you'd look out for to spot scam artists? In person obviously.

Re: Renting in Vancouver

Thanks a lot for your response! The thing that concerns me about the references part is a lot of the ads on craigslist saying that they are required. Do you think it would be best to just apply for...

Re: Renting in Vancouver

1. What would be a 'reasonable' (very subjective I know)...

Re: Any Vancouver experts that can answer a few qu's?

Thanks folks. Any idea what would be a reasonable monthly budget? I was thinking $2000 max for rent between 3.

Re: Any Vancouver experts that can answer a few qu's?

How did you find cost of living? And how's getting employment (part-time casual work mostly).

Emailed the "re-iec" address, and got the POE within 3 days. FINALLY I can start planning this trip! Worst application process for anything, ever, but glad its over now and...

Re: IEC 2013

But plenty of people have had their POEs with the 5645? Plus everyone has to be 18 or over to do this IEC scheme anyway :confused:

Re: IEC 2013

There is a phone number on the London visa office page but when I phoned it someone picked up and said "for all enquiries please go the email address, sorry byeee" and then hung up! Madness

Re: IEC 2013

Some other people are having issues with that don't worry. I'm not even sure you need it because all you need to cross the border if your POE, which is sent to your myCIC account (IN THEORY)

Re: IEC 2013

So we just email the generic one? Surely the case specific one makes more sense. I can just envisage me emailing that one, and getting hit with 'Sorry but for all enquiries related to specific cases...

To be fair I've heard the 6 week figure being mentioned too, but the website says 8 for some reason :confused:

Re: IEC 2013

Oh, it says 8 weeks (or 2 months) on here for the London office for 'temporary work permit' which I thought we were applying for?

Re: IEC 2013

Seems to be a few people actually having their visas approved but not receiving any emails by the look of that facebook group.

Seriously CIC, that's just embarassing

Re: Any Vancouver experts that can answer a few qu's?

I've had quick look on Craiglist and there seem to be quite a few houses that are $1800 a month around main city area (not downtown obviously, but close enough). That's $600 a month each which...
