Does anybody know of a site which will allow me to reserve a one way flight over 12 months in advance?
The reason I am asking is because Bunac now want proof of this before they will release the work permit, however most of the sites online will only let you reserve a flight up to 364 days in advance and I believe that this is because of some kind of legislation on air travel tickets. I did think about contacting Bunac to query this but I know their response will be 'well you can always book one through us' but they can run and jump, they've had enough of my money already for what looks like a fairly straightforward procedure. It's probably also worth mentioning that my gf is applying through Japan and only needs to pay the CIC fees. It makes no mention of a return ticket in her documentation so it doesn't really sound like it is a CIC requirement for the letter of authorisation to be issued. Unfortunately it also needs to be a flight out of the NAFTA area as well so you can't even get a cheap ticket to the US or something at the last minute.
The information on this from Bunac is here by the way: h**p://w**.bunac.org/uk/workcanada/faqs.aspx
It's the bottom item on that page and incidentally a multiple threads on forums and other websites across the internet also state that it can't be done, so what the hell are Bunac playing at? An example is given here: h**p://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=576245
Any help/guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. I only started the registration process yesterday but I'm trying to get things sorted out as quickly as possible.
