i have an issue and i urgently need help. i am an international student in canada. completed 6 months of study and now i want to apply for EVN no so that i can apply for work permit. the problem is ,when i first attempted to apply for EVN , in the last section of application where we have to give signature there was an issue regarding my given name and last name . i tried all the alternatives but nothing helped. i contacted cic customercare they sent me an email suggesting to make new MYCIC account . so i revoked my previous account and made a new MYCIC . But now in new account , on my homepage there is no link to APPLY for EVN . What should i do now.? i am so much worried . please help me. :(

1. Most likely, you forget to enter client id number as indicated on your SP. Create new account.
2. And, enter name as indicated on your "study permit", not passport.

I have been trying all day today to apply for the OCWP online and I am also experiencing the same difficulty. Everytime I sign the agreement to apply for EVN, and then click 'next', it takes me back to the same page to ask to agree and sign the form again. So frustrating!

1. Click on "I Agree", enter your name (signature) as indicated on your SP, not Passport.
2. Or, you are done. If you click again, you will be directed to the same page. Wait for EVN.

It is important when you register again to provide your client i.d. number. I had the same problem a week ago, when I re-registered I had nothing showing on My CIC page, like I never applied for any document before. Then I re-registered and provided mu client id number during registration and it worked. However, MyCiC has some technical issues at the moment, I am also trying to request EVN, but my problem after I sign my name it navigates me to the document checklist, there are no documents required when requesting EVN, so when I click next I get that verification page where I have to sign again and then document checklist, so I never can get to the stage where I submit my application. How is this for MyCiC technical problem? Did anybody encounter the same issue?

1. You are done when you signed at first. No document checklist required for OCWP. Wait for your EVN, enter it on IMM 5581/upload online/pay fee.

Hey
Appreciate your effort to help and guide others, but this really is a genuine problem at CIC's end. There are many people facing the same issue, including me. And, they have acknowledged the problem in their reply to my email, which is the same standard thing they said to orange_girl. Thanks anyway!

Same deal here..I don't know what's going on with the cic website, but few of my friends who tried to get the EVN number before Sept 1st were successful. As for me I have tried to get the EVN since Friday morning but still no progress until now. A bit strange though because there's no official information from the CIC regarding the problem as if nothing goes wrong..

My College updated us with this:

Looks like CIC will be completely shut down tomorrow to fix their issues…

Good luck with your Saturday applications!


Hope this helps...

Hello,



Please help me out, I am new on this forum. I have applied for an off campus work permit. And in that process, I have successfully received my EVN number on the MyCIC account.

Now my question is: What should I do after having this EVN number? I can not see any application form loaded on my account. Please let me know which link (and where) I should click on the MyCIC account.


Please guide me

Before applying for Off campus work permit you were supposed to apply for EVN, when you get your EVN number you apply for Off campus work permit. When you attach the scanned documents to your OCWP application you also have to fill out an application form which is attached to the required documents. In that form you provide your EVN number, after filling everything in the form (signature not required), you validate it and save on your computer, after that you upload your application from your computer (don't scan and print your application in order to upload it, it just have to be saved digitally and then uploaded). If you didn;t provide your EVN number in the application, contact CIC about your problem. They might ask you to revoke your application and apply again. The fee will be refunded if the application was not processed by the officer yet. However, they may suggest another solution of the problem. Hope this helps.

Please guide me

1. Enter EVN on the pre loaded application form (even if the application is for SP renewal). Do not use link on 'EVN Request' information, it won't work.

I would appreciate if somebody could help me,
A couple of days ago I started applying for EVN number. After I logged in it started asking about my security questions, which I did not remember them at that moment and I tried some guess, but it turned out it locked my account because of that. So my first idea was to revoke this account and create another mycic one after I did that it asked me about my client ID and when I put my client ID it says that
"You have answered all of your security questions incorrectly. Your account has been locked. You are no longer able to recover you account online"
which is a great news! I sent an email to questionATcicDOTgcDOTca and requested for their technical help, but it seems they won't respond soon. Yesterday I had a successful interview and I should prepare the work permit ASAP. Does anyone could suggest me an idea of about how to resolve this problem?
