Hi,

I'm currently living and working in Canada through the IEC Young Professionals program. Since I'm not planning on extending my contract after August, I applied for the Working Holiday visa to travel around a bit and have an open work permit. I received an Invitation to Apply but now I'm having problems with completing my application.

In the initial IEC application I answered "Yes" to the question "Do you have a signed letter of offer, contract of employment, or internship agreement from an employer in Canada?" – it was presented under Work History, and that is reflecting my current situation (I have a contract of employment with my current employer in Canada through IEC Young Professionals).

Now, in the next application for the actual work permit, the answer is locked and I cannot validate my application unless I provide details of my future employer. The employment ID for WH visa is A0012345 (I looked it up from the CIC page). But it doesn't let me proceed unless I enter my future employer's name, address and whether they've paid the compliance fee.

Has anyone figured out how to solve this? I tried contacting CIC in all ways possible but there is no response and I'm afraid my invitation will expire. Please help!!

You should answer "no" to this question.

Is the only option then to decline the invitation and re-apply? That seems to be the only way to change that answer.

Unfortunately I can't help with that question. Hopefully someone else will be able to tell you.
