Hello, My current WHV expires on March 1st and my Bridging Visa probably wont be granted before before the middle of March. I have called IIRC many times and they differ in their answers to whether I have implied status (and can work) or not during this time. The internet also seems to agree that IS isnt something offered to people with a WHV (especially here: http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Implied_Status_after_an_IEC_Work_Permit_ends) My workplace has said I do have IS and I should work but I just dont want to risk it. My current plan is to go the US tomorrow and on my return talk to them at the Canadian border when I reenter and find out if I have IS (whilst my visa is still valid so I wouldn’t be breaking IS by leaving the country). If I do not have IS then I will come back in as a visitor (is this possible?) Does anyone have a definitive answer to this question (including proof)? Or have a reason why going to the border to find out is a bad idea?
