Does anyone know what the process is like to to get another Working holiday Visa. What i mean is once your 2 year visa is nearly up do you have to go through the whole process again ? (if you want to stay for another year or so). Or because they already have your details its just a matter of paying them and waiting for an approval ?

Hi,
I am having great difficulties uploading my work permit form. I have filled it in electronically and its been validated. Once i try to upload the file, i get the response of "INVALID PDF FILE" . How is this possible when its the exact same file downloaded straight from their website. I have also tried scanning the printed copy and then using adobe, creating a single file PDF of the permit. Submitted this and still got the same response. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I've tried everything and I've only got 3 days left to apply.
My emails won't get answered for another 20 days or so. Everything else has uploaded but this form!
Please help, many thanks in advance.

Here's something you can try.sammiek123 said:
Re-download the form ( do not rename the form ), fill it out completely, validate it, save it and then upload it.
I've heard people saying that renaming the form might cause complications as well. Not sure if that's still the case.
If you haven't renamed it, still, redownload a new copy and go through the process again.

I'm preparing my application to CIC now, with the form "Application for work permit made outside of Canada".
There's the part about the current mailing address and countries of residence etc. Do I put my Canadian address here - do I mention that I'm here at all? Or should I only use the German address for everything?
Thanks!
I put my Canadian address in that form when I applied for my second IEC visa. The only time I said that I was currentlyRosalie87 said:
living in Germany was in that questionnaire on the CIC website that get's you to the application package for IEC permits.
The "Come to Canada" wizard or something like that....
I am now permanent resident of Canada, so I guess all my work permits and applications were fine.
Hi,
I'm an australian. I started applying for my IEC visa in april, and had a bit of a delay as i needed a police check from NZ where i lived for a year. I recently uploaded the police check, but i never received a confirmation email saying it was there, and the website works a little bit sporadically, maybe its having tech issues at the moment... My app still says open on mycic, but i'm a little worried because i never got a confirmation email for my submission of the police check.
I fly to Canada at the start of July! And as i'm banking on the 2year working holiday don't have a return flight...
I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried emailing mycic, but i can't telephone cos i'm not in Canada.
Any thoughts?

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding the payment of the fee for the program.
I was on the waiting list and a few days ago I received a message that a spot was available for me, so I immediately uploaded all documents and payed the fee using my credit card. I received a confirmation email from the company handling the payments saying that the transaction was processed. But when I look into my Kompass account the payment is still listed as pending and the money has also not been deducted from credit card.
I'm really worried that something went wrong in the payment and that I will be refused after the 10 days are over.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is it normal that it takes this long?
I'm grateful for any advice you can give, this situation is driving me crazy

it always takes a couple of days for payments to be processed on a credit card. Transactions
usually show up on online statements 2-3 days after the authorization.
If you've received the confirmation email and have proof that the payment has been processed,
then you're fine. Wait for a couple days and check your Kompass account again.
Hope this helps.
I'm German, yes. And I actually can't tell you the answer. The two times I've applied for an IECSchnaute said:Thanks, now I'm not as nervous anymore
Something else: Toby, I saw you are German like me
visa, I always submitted the German PCC without translating it.
The first time I had to mail the application, back in 2012 and in 2013 I uploaded a scan of my
German PCC. I don't know if there's been a chance to the policies, but I wouldn't worry about translating
the PCC unless they ask for translated documents in the checklist.
Hope this helped
Viel Glueck!Yes, as I said earlier, it always takes a while for transactions to show up on your visa card.Schnaute said:Alright then if it worked for you, I won't worry about it either
The fee just got deducted from my credit card, guess I was too anxious
In any case, thanks for your help, appreciate it
However, the merchant authorizes the full amount right away, but charges the amount later.
Don't know why that is, but I'm glad it worked out well for you.
All the best! And check back in if you have more questions.
