    IEC work permit re-application experience.

    Did you do two one-year work permits, or one two-year one? The upper limit for me is 4 consecutive years, of which I've done 2. The IEC work permit cannot be renewed/extended, but I was allowed to apply for a fresh new one.

    IEC work permit re-application experience.

    My coverage was provided by my employer. And no, the funds weren't even asked for at any point, though I'd prepared for that by bringing supporting documents. Also, an addendum to my original post: after acquiring your new permit, a few people have to be notified. Probably your employer will...

I'm just surprised they don't give proof of the GDL exemption, but I guess it's in the system so I hope there's no problems. And as the poster above also said, I needed to provide...

    So I heard back from the registry office today, and they told me I can go straight for my class 5 now, so my exemption must've been approved. Hopefully if anyone else has this (rare) problem my experience can help. They don't seem to give you any proof of the exemption being approved, although I...

    Can a *provisional* English driver's license count towards GDL exemption?

    I'm in Alberta, and I have just submitted my English provisional driver's license to a registry office for a GDL exemption. I got the provisional license in July 2011, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience of switching these licenses. I got a class 7 license on the same day...

    I'm wondering a few things about applying for the Permanent Residency visa; I'm currently here on an IEC 2-year work permit expiring in August 2014. All the information I currently know is from the CIC Skilled Immigration page (can't link, don't have forum permissions yet... the part after the...

    Time taken to issue work permit at airport for IEC participant?

    Thanks for the info PMM :) Having never been to Toronto Airport, how does the process work? Do I get the work permit at the usual border control posts where they check my passport, or do I have to go to a different part somewhere?

    Time taken to issue work permit at airport for IEC participant?

    Hi, I'm a successful applicant of IEC Australia for an open work permit (remarkably, it only took 2 weeks from them receiving the documents to my receiving the Letter of Introduction...) and I have everything ready to go for the flight over (health insurance, bank statement for proof of funds...
