So NZ-Canada visa is now 23 months instead of 12, would it apply to NZ residents who are already over here on the 12 months?!
Would love to extend my visa for 23 months!

The 23 months doesn't apply until 2015 - so extending unfortunately won't be an option for you since yours was granted in 2014.

When they changed the IEC rule for Ireland from 12 months to 24 months, all participants who have been approved previously on the 12 months visa (only once) were all eligible to apply for 24 months. Having a total of 36 months of participation.

I think there's a chance the NZ rule could have that clause added too as it's a similar amendment.

fingers crossed.

Hi
My employer is looking for qualified person who likes to apply for "Young Professionals" under International Experience Canada in 2015, and they are willing to provide the employment contract for you to apply for Young Professionals under IEC. However you must never apply IEC before and your country must be one of those countries which has IEC agreement with Canada.

Moreover you also need to be either have at least one year of relevant working experience or hold a degree in Food & Beverage industry.

If you are not sure your country has IEC agreement or not and also want to find out more about Young Professionals then please click on this site, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/

If you are the right person and a good worker then before your one year end that my employer is willing to help you to apply for LMIA so you can continue working in Canada afterward.

Something about us, we are a chain pizza shop in a small town in Alberta and the main job duties are making pizza, take orders, food preparation, and able to lift about 25lb. And of course you must be able to communicate in English.

PS: Right now we don't have any extra LMIA on hand so if you are looking for LMIA only then please don't leave any comment here. We want someone who is able to apply for YOUNG PROFESSIONALS under IEC for this year then my employer will help to apply for LMIA in 2016 if they think you are a good employee to keep. THANK YOU

Bad news :(



"If you participated in IEC before 2015, you are no longer eligible to apply."

I was hoping for better news. :(
