Has anyone had there IEC application approved recently?

Hey,

So completed my stage two for IEC online last month (MAY), and then got a request to upload my traffic history report at the start of the month. now two weeks since then I haven’t heard anything? I’m guessing it is because of the strike??
So I’m just wondering does anyone know how much longer the delays will be because of the strike? I from & in Australia.
any information will be helpful

Hey, I applied at the start of April and I am still waiting, even though I sent in a complete application. The processing time is supposed to be 2 months - I'm now past my 9 week mark. There is a facebook page for IEC participants and it sounds like people are still getting approvals... guess we just have to wait longer now because of the strike

damn! That sucks. I thought I would be there at the end of this month

Hey did you upload your traffic history report with your police check? just wondering.
Thanks for your reply

Apparently it was only needed for certain states in Australia. I had all the old information printed out and it said people living in South Australia didn't require the specific traffic report because it is included already on a police report or something like that.

I was planning to be in Canada back in April. I applied for my stage 1 back in February and the STA brochure I had said processing should take 6 weeks. That was waaaay incorrect!

Goodluck - hopefully you won't have to wait as long as I have.
