International Experience Canada Re-Applying Process

[Andy91]

Hi all,
I just need to ask a few questions regarding about IEC and if I can re-apply for a brand new work permit, as I know there is no way to extend a current one.

I have been in Canada since August 10th 2015 and I am coming up to the end of my current permit, I have applied for Express Entry but I have a funny feeling I probably won't get an invite until after my current permit expires.
I just need to know as I have seen a couple of people saying that they have managed to get a new IEC work permit with no problems at all, and if you are one of those people that managed to get a fresh new work permit how did you go about getting one?

Also would I have to create a brand new GCKey account or can I use my current account that I am using for my Express Entry profile to start the IEC process again?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

It all depends on your country of origin and what kind of IEC you hold now. Rules are vastly different from country to country. What type of IEC do you hold now? Working Holiday Visa? Where are you from?

Hi there scylla, I'm from the United Kingdom and I currently have a Working Holiday Visa.

Sorry should've added this in my first post, at work now and it's quite a hectic day haha.

Unfortunately you're out of luck then. UK only allows one participation. You can't apply for another.

Ah ok thought I'd double check before giving it a try, thanks for the info!
