IECs cannot be extended. On what basis are you trying to extend your IEC? Do you have an approved LMIA?

Correct, IEC's can't be extended you have to apply for another 2 year working permit.

I am aware I can't extend it and I know I need to apply for a new
Permit .
My questions were about the form I need to fill out.

It's still not clear what you're applying for. Are you applying for a closed work permit based on having an approved LMIA? Or are you trying to apply for a new IEC? If you are trying to apply for a new IEC, then you need to wait until January 9th when the IEC program reopens. IEC instructions are here: https://kompass-iec-eic.international.gc.ca/IECindex.aspx?regioncode=AU&Lang=eng

In my initial question I stated the form I need to fill out it was the form I needed to fill out the first time
I came out to canada. I have contacted my travel company who helped me organise this all the first time
Around to make sure I was on the right track but they are closed for holidays till Monday so I though no harm in filling out the form in the meantime just so it is done.
Now If you read my first post I said the form I am filling out and the questions I have about it.

I know I can't extend it which is why I am reapplying for it

A) Australia
B) you'll find your UCI on your introduction letter that they sent to you when you first came with IEC
C) don't remember the options but you're basically applying for an open work permit (can't recall of they had a working holidays option there or not.)

Hi I just have a quick question, did you have to submit a new police certificate from Australia or did you use the one from your first visa?

Thanks
