hi there,
i'll just got the confirmation from cic that they received my application. i'm not very experienced, so i'll just tell you what i did.
i found my country through the http://www.international.gc.ca/experience/index.aspx?view=d website. after i created an account there i uploaded my passport and completed the first part of the application. i received a message through my kompass account and i downloaded the letter mentioning that i should make a payment to my country's canadian embassy's account in Euro (110). i made the payment through internet banking from a local account and the next day i was able to upload my payment receipt (with all the required information as per requirements written on the letter i mention). the next day i received another message from my kompass acount mentioning that i should apply through mycic. the letter i downloaded from this message provides the link, which is http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/mycic.asp . i selected the GCKey option and i created and account. after that, i started the online application and i uploaded my documents. and today i received the confirmation that my application has been received.
i hoped i helped you a bit and did not confuse you further.
good luck!
