IEC - Young Professionals Question

[alcampelo]

Hi,

I have an IEC Young Professionals visa/work permit that is valid for one year (it will expire in September). I've tried to extend it for more six months (because the program total duration is 18 months) and my application was rejected. They say on the letter that the reason is because I don't have a valid LMIA. But since I'm under this program, I'm LMIA Exempt. Is there a way of appealing to this decision?

Thanks in advance,

Alex Campelo.

1. No, as IEC Young professionals work permits are only for a maximum of 6-24 months. It depends on your country of citizenship, if you got the maximum, thats it.

Actually I'm Brazilian and Brazil is not on the list, so I was just allowed to come here by the AIESEC program. And at CIC website they say the maximum validity period is 18 months. That's why I'm confused.

Thanks again,

The problem is that the IEc program is a non extendable program you get assigned a period for your permit and thats it. The permit cannot be extended even if there is a maximum that would have needed to have been assigned when you landed initially so unless you believe that CBSA allocated an invalid time based on your original POE letter it will expire in September.

Hi Alex, I am Pedro and I am here in Canada with a working holiday visa. Do you know how do we apply for this Young Professionals? It`s because I have a job offer with an employer here and it`s in my field of study, so I qualify for the Young Professionals. Do you know how does it work? With whom should I talk or send an email?

How long did it take you to get a work permit under IEC?

Depends if you are from a country that qualifies for the YP program
