So, here's the situation.
I live in Canada, my boyfriend lives in Australia. He applied, through IEC, for a working holiday and it was accepted in about a week. We didn't think at the time, that he would need to get a police check (talk about a brainfart), but now we're getting worried. He only has until the 25th of June to get here, but between it being a minimum of 10 business days for his police check to go through, be processed, etc, and then up to another 56 days on top of that, for him to get his LOI?! It just seems like such a short amount of time, not to mention having to figure out when and where to ship all his things.
If it happens he misses the expiry date, is there anyway he could come here as a visitor, and apply for the same thing while he's here? Or would he have to leave, then re-enter the country to get his work permit? This is so seriously confusing and infuriating and stressful.
Also, are there are any Aussies here who have gone through this same thing? How long did it take to get your police check? (He's in VIC, if that helps) And how long did it take for your LOI to arrive? Any help is seriously appreciated!
