Hello! I've gotten myself into a bit of a weird situation.

TLDR, travelled to see my online best friend for the first time in person, we were both single, ended up hitting things off and I've been crashing at her place for a couple weeks.

Now sadly my flight back is booked to New Zealand is booked for the 20th however I noticed the first round of Working Holiday visa invitations get sent out on the 13th of January. Is it possible for me to apply for that while in Canada (I meet all the requirements), get my biometrics done and wait until its processed and then begin working?

I've seen conflicting things on whether I am allowed to do something like this and I'd hate to mess up and get denied but obviously I wanna avoid flying halfway around the world just apply for this visa then come back the second its ready.

Fingers crossed one of you guys has the answer!!!
