Hi All
The other day i went to the boarder to get my two year working holiday permit, but the immigration officer only issued it for 12 months. He said that it said in the remarks to only issued for 12 months from entry. I applied under my old passport that was valid until Nov 2015 so i would have my application in before my current permit expired and CIC said as long as i get a new passport that would be valid for the 2 years it would be fine. I got my new passport and emailed CIC with its deails and used it to get my work permit and was only given 12 months on the visa as well. I'm wondering if anyone has had the similar situation happen and what to do. The immigration officer said to contact CIC on the phone and ask what happened and they may be able to adjust the permit on the system and re-issue it. I will be 31 in 2015 hence i applied for the final 2 year working holiday permit before this time. It's just weird that i only got 12 months this time when i have gotten 24 every other time? The only conclusion is that my old passport was used to say only give 12 months and it was not update with my new passport and the 12 months remark removed.
If anyone can give me any insight into this it would be great. I'm contacting CIC next week and all the info i have on my side would be amazing.
