Hmmmm...very interesting, what was the point of that sentence? I mean, you read it and it sounds as clear as day as though any participation through a registered organisation is excluded from the 'frequency of participations'. Who exactly did you speak to? An agent? I spoke to an IEP agent last week and from what I was told, they didn't seem to be 100% in the loop themselves.jansnarski said:Hey pziegler1986,
Sorry have not been on here in a while , SO i spoke with both SWAP and IEP and both told me I was not eligible for IEC again. It felt like a loophole for a second and would have been perfect. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The changes have been a massive blow to a lot of people, A little bit of warning would have been nice ay???
Don't doubt what you were told...it's just frustrating that there really isn't any official word on this as of yet. I'll contact them again to see if they have any updated information.
Let me know what they say mate. I am in the same boat and have not been able to get a definitive answer on anything.pziegler1986 said:Hmmmm...very interesting, what was the point of that sentence?

Who are you guys getting in contact with for answers? I'm looking to find out if Aussies are entitled to a second stint in the IEC if they're already over here on the their first. I've tried the sydney office and tried CIC and can't get a solid answer from anyone.
I tried both of those avenues as well. The Sydney office advised they couldn't help me - so I called CIC and they said they couldn't help me. I have submitted two enquiries on the CIC website for IEC but have not received any response yet.Fenster said:Who are you guys getting in contact with for answers?

Yeah I'm beginning to think it's going to be one of those things where we'll just have to wait and see what happens when they open the programjblinco86 said:I tried both of those avenues as well.

Which quite frankly, isn't good enough! People need to know whether they can extend work contracts, amongst a whole myriad of other issuesFenster said:Yeah I'm beginning to think it's going to be one of those things where we'll just have to wait and see what happens when they open the program
Agreed. That is embarrassing that they cannot even give anyone a clear answer.pziegler1986 said:Which quite frankly, isn't good enough! People need to know whether they can extend work contracts, amongst a whole myriad of other issues
Totally agree with you guys. It's a huge pain for people waiting around for an answer and it could certainly be more efficient. My only advice for you is to sit tight, keep busy and try not to think about it too much.jblinco86 said:Agreed. That is embarrassing that they cannot even give anyone a clear answer.
I just spoke to IEP Australia on the phone and the agent told me that their understanding is (from recent discussions with the Consulate) that we will be able to do the WHP twice in our lives provided that we meet the eligibility requirements.
Still couldn't really get a definitive answer, the bilateral agreements posted up by CIC on 30 January indicates x2 IEC participations (x1 WHP/YP; x1 Co-op)...if we go by the Bilateral agreement with Australia, you clearly can only do WHP once...The uncertainty is very frustrating.

Interesting......like I said, we can only just wait and see. I'd be interested to know how much info the agents themselves are privy to. How did you manage to get an answer out of them if you don't mind me asking? Did they not just tell you to hang up once you started asking about the IEC programme?pziegler1986 said:I just spoke to IEP Australia on the phone and the agent told me that their understanding is (from recent discussions with the Consulate) that we will be able to do the WHP twice in our lives provided that we meet the eligibility requirements.

I spoke to IEP Australia, which is an affiliate of SWAP Working Holidays - it's their business to inform potential clients about the WHP.Fenster said:Interesting......like I said, we can only just wait and see.

I agree with everything everyone is saying.
The rules were changed on SWAP and IEP also, so they know about as much as us. When it opens up you will have to re do the Kompas account so you will now right away if you eligible as i remember having to put in how many times i have had the visa before..
It is pretty crazy to have no notice at all for such a life altering change but hey, who ever said stay busy and don't think about it is right, we are at mercy to the system.

Updated now. Aussies who've had a WHV before 2015 can apply for one more final visa. Delighted with that!!!jansnarski said:I agree with everything everyone is saying.
