Hi there, I am a dual New Zealand and Australian Citizen, where I hold two passports. In 2012, I went to live and work in Canada for 1 year, on the IEC working holiday programme granted on my New Zealand passport. I am now wondering if I can reapply for the IEC working holiday programme again with my Australian passport... to be granted two more years?

My partner from the UK has just been approved his two year IEC working holiday visa, which I am REALLY wanting to go and join him for the next 2 years.

If anyone has knowledge or personal experience in this situation, it would be really appreciated to read your comments.

Thanks,
Lenny

yes although you might need somewhere to mention you participated under NZ before but you can apply again with your Australian passport. If you do a google search there are various mentions about others with dual nationality doing the same thing for example http://www.experiencecanada.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3290&p=8709
