I mean, if I apply for an open work permit before my IEC visa expires, can I keep working under implied status.
You say no. Other people say they have done it.
I would really like a definitive answer.
Hi,
I have been searching for a definitive answer for this question for a while,
Can you bridge a IEC working holiday visa?
Any comments would be really appreciated.
Thank you,

These new updates have given me hope. I am CEC inland and my visa expires in just over a month.
I won't have a nomination by then, but at least it looks like processing times should improve
I'm in quite a similar boat to you. Visa is expiring on the 19th of June. Will need to stop working then and I want to wait in Canada for my PR to come through.

Hi! So you waited until you got an ITA before attempting to bridge your permit? Its starting to look like I won't get my ITA until after my permit expires at the end of June.
Hi all.
My work permit expires at the end of June and I'm still waiting for my AOR from the OOPNP program. It looks like it will be late May before I get the AOR.
I am working full time and don't want to leave Canada while I wait for my PR to come through.
Any ideas how I can stay working...
I am in the same situation as you. Application sent in January. Visa ending on June the 19th.
The wait is killing me.. From looking at the Google Spreadsheet it seemed like they were processing CEC applications very quickly before christmas. And now it has slowed to a crawl.
At what stage can...
Hi all. First time poster here but I've been lurking for a while now. The site is a great resource.
I have a query about work experience.
I am applying under CEC. I have over a year of Canadian work experience.
However, I have been self employed for the last couple of months. If I include...
