Hi there, I am an Australian citizen currently on my second year of my first working holiday visa.
I received my acceptance letter in September 2014 and activated my visa at the start of 2015 and I have heard several different things on whether I can apply for another one or not.
Just wanting a definite answer really.

Cheers
Lawrie

1. It appears you are going to be out of luck for the 2nd one. If you had activated your LOI in 2014 you could have received a 2nd one. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/eligibility.asp?country=au&cat=wh

Hi, I'm in a similar situation. I'm on my second year of my first working holiday visa. I activated it when I entered Canada in October 2014.
I've been trying to find any information to clarify this. But since I technically "participated" in the program before 2015 am I eligible to apply for one final program.
My current visa expires October 2016.

Does anyone have confirmation on whether "Participated" means started the program before 2015 or completed it entirely.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
