Hi all
I have a question about iec visa i got my approval in March but i didnt enter Canada to this date .
On letter it is written :
You must seek entry to Canada to obtain your work permit by (yyyy/mm/dd). Your passport must be
valid beyond the period you intend to remain in Canada. If not, the validity of your work permit will not be issued
beyond the expiry date of your passport, or, for United States citizens and permanent residents, the validity of
your identity document.
I understand i have 365 days to enter Canada but when i enter Canada my visa ( 1 year/date) will start ? Or time is counted from day when i got my approval on IEC ?
To be more clear :)
I got visa in March and i will enter Canada in September so does 1 year count will go from March or September ?

Thanks for help

It's counted from the date you enter Canada.
