My daughter had the same problem just applying for her IEC, it took 3 weeks for it to fix itself, we think/ are pretty sure it's a glitch on the new system. Not sure there's anything you can do, you could try calling, she called, emailed, withdrew profile, all to no avail and then one day she...

My daughter received her invitation letter yesterday as well, has now applied for the work permit and said it takes about 3 weeks...Good luck..

Thank you Scylla, I hope CIC pay you !!! They should because you are always so helpful !! My daughter came to Vancouver on Friday, was totally honest and got through the border without any problems. I really think the people who have problems at the border are maybe trying to be a bit dicey or...

Hi NJC, my daughter had to wait about 20 days for the error to be fixed, then she was able to re apply to enter the pools. She is currently in Canada on an eTA, staying with a friend, has plenty of funds to support herself and also 6 months health insurance. She is hoping she gets a letter of...

Thank you Scylla, yes she doesn't want or need to work for the 6 months, and will only consider it IF she gets chosen from the pools, the problem with having a return ticket is she is not sure where she will be returning from? She is going to Whitehorse and Dawson and possibly Winnipeg and to...

Hi, could I please ask this? My daughter is in IEC pools, she is an Aussie and is coming to Canada tomorrow. Hasn't been selected in the pools as yet. She is coming to Canada with over $10,000, 6 months health insurance and is staying with a friend so no real expenses and can fully support...

Thank you so much, her friend will actually be waiting there to pick her up, they could speak to him if they need to, but I'll see if she can get him to write something. I think this will help her be a little less stressed !! Thank you again, we appreciate the time you have taken to help. :)

Ok fantastic, thank you so much. She's really worried about getting knocked back at the border, I'm trying to make her feel better as she has over $10,000 she's been saving for the last 18 months and 6 months of health/travel insurance and is staying with a friend so won't have the accommodation...

Thank you, so can I put a scenario to you? If she is in the IEC pools but hasn't been picked yet to apply for a visa, is it better/quicker for her to withdraw her profile from the pools and have a letter of employment to apply for a work visa?

Hi there, Does having a letter of employment speed up the process of obtaining an IEC work permit? Thanks

PM'd you Nathan, by the way, for anyone else looking, the number to call Canada from outside the country is 1 613 944 4000 from any phone that can ring International, it works fine.

Ok hold the bus !!! She just checked her profile again and now it's working and she was able to submit her application. She didn't do anything different, it must have been fixed....Thank goodness, now just the wait :-)

Re: URGENT Problems submitting IEC Visa application This issue has now become an absolute joke and the most frustrating thing ever, and now urgent. My daughter has called, emailed, filled in tech support web forms and still has not been able to submit a new profile, she has sent numerous screen...

Same thing is happening to me right now, I think they have some pretty big technical errors, possibly trying to fix it right now? CTRL + F5 didn't work :-(

So just an update for anyone else who is having a similar problem. My daughter called CIC in Canada this morning and they were very helpful. They apologised for not getting onto her problem sooner and talked her through withdrawing her profile (not deleting it) to withdraw it, there is usually a...

Thank you Ozlis, we have had 3 people check that there is nothing missing, and all of us have seen the same thing, it appears to be fine. We think it's because she answered a question wrong the first time, now it just seems to be stuck in any profile she makes. She's made and deleted 4 profiles...

Oh wow, thank you for that information. She's actually meeting someone (a US citizen) in Vancouver and they are going to Alaska to pick up his car and dog then coming back because he works in Canada from April to September every year and she will be hanging with him for the majority of the time...

Thank you Scylla, much appreciated. We knew she didn't need the visa but thought it might help to change status. So when the system glitch is fixed and she can submit to go into the pools, and then hopefully gets her offer letter, she will be in Canada. Do you foresee any problems there? Will...

Hi, my daughter is trying to apply for an IEC but due to a glitch in the system, she is unable to submit her application to enter the pools. She has asked for technical help but it's been since the 15th of Feb and still no go. She will be landing in Vancouver on the 25th of March and being from...

Hi, my daughter filled in the online application and accidently answered no to go in the pools for selection, submitted the application and of course it was rejected. So as requested by technical help, she deleted her profile and started again and has tried this several times but still gets the...
