Thank you for choosing Canada Israel Experience! We’re thrilled that you have decided to embark upon this unforgettable journey with us!
“HOW WILL I BE CHOSEN?” NEW FOR WINTER 2010/2011 –
For all applicants, new and past, the selection process will be based on a LOTTERY SYSTEM!
What does this mean?
This means you have 24 hours from September 14th at 10:00 am EST to fully register in order to be considered into our Lottery System!
For example, if you apply at 10:01 am on September 14th will be considered EQUALLY as if you apply at 10:00 pm on September 14th. We hope this will avoid the system crashes that took place in years past.
In order to be entered into our Lottery System, you must have a completed online application, including a paid $250US deposit.
THE APPLICATION – A step by step guide once registration opens:
STEP 1: “WHERE DO I APPLY?”
On September 14th at 10am EST, go to www.israelforfree.com and register if you are a new applicant. Complete all sections including deposit payment (this is called Section 8). Registration can only be submitted online.
On September 13th at 12 Noon EST go to www.israelforfree.com and register if you are a past applicant. Past applicants can only pre-register at that time using the same log-in information (user name & password) they used on their past application(s). If you do not remember your password, you can contact us now to send your password to you from your past application.
STEP 2: “WILL I RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM YOU?”
Canada Israel Experience communicates with applicants via e-mail. Most e-mail services classify our messages as Junk Mail (i.e. Hotmail). Please be sure your primary e-mail account is NOT a university server or a hotmail.com address. We cannot be responsible if you do not receive e-mails from us! Please be sure to classify each of the following e-mail addresses as a ‘safe sender’ in your e-mail accounts:
· @birthrightisrael.com; · @ujafed.org
STEP 3: “WHICH FORMS DO I NEED TO SUBMIT?”
Return to www.israelforfree.com. Print & sign the ‘CIE Waiver’ Form.
All forms are available at http://israelforfree.com/forms.htm
Please note forms for Winter 2010/2011 will not be accessible until registration opens (September 13th at 12 Noon E.S.T. for past applicants; September 14th at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T. for new applicants).
STEP 4: “DO I NEED TO SUBMIT ANYTHING ELSE?”
YES, along with your CIE Waiver Form, you need to submit a copy of your valid Canadian passport to the National office of Canada Israel Experience in Toronto.
A valid passport is one that expires a minimum of 6 months after your return date (i.e. if you return from Israel on January 5, 2011, your passport must expire no earlier than July 5, 2011)
