Hello everyone,
I've got POE in February this year and i planned to fly to Canada in next year on February but due to Covid-19 my plans has changed, so i have question about possibility to withdraw my profile.

I've read about it and i found information that i could do it but without refund my money - that's okay, because more important than money is possibility to starting again from the same category (Working Holiday)



So... if i withdraw my profile, will i be able to start again from Working Holiday? Or do i have only one chance?



Have a good day :)

I think you will find that once a POE letter has been issued that counts as a participation so not sure where you read you could withdraw once the POE was issued. Have not seen any indication due to COVID that this has changed unless anyone else has seen something

Oh, you're right, i've just found it. :(


If you’ve already received your port of entry letter
You can’t get a refund or withdraw your application.

What country are you from?

Since you have a POE, this counts as 1 participation. There is no way to withdraw this participation - you have used it.

Some countries allow multiple participations. If you are from one of those countries, then you can look into a second participation.

I am from Poland, so i don't think my country allows multiple participations.
Okay, so i'm going to Canada, i don't have another choice, because i don't want to lose my chance :)
Who knows, maybe Immigration and citizenship will allow extend time of validity POEs like now, i needn't have sent my application to IEC this year, my mistake! :D

But who knew that the world would fall apart.

Thanks for replies.

You can only participate in the Working Holiday Visa stream once (so it's use it or lose it). You can participate a second time in the Co-Op or YP stream.

But do i have to wait 6 months between finishing my Working Holiday and starting with another program (co-op or YP) right? So i would have to be a visitor without right to job, not so good!

I'm wondering about this, because i'm still not sure where could i go, i was wondering about BC and Vancouver, because my job qualifies to Tech Pilot (NOC B User support technican) but everything depends on my points in PNP, if i have 6 from CLB exam i'll have only 92 points so i'm not sure about my status in Canada after expiring my IEC.

But i have read about minimum points in Tech Pilot in the last round and minimum score was 80 but nevertheless i'd be more confident if i had more points than 90 ;)

Yes - for the co-op / YP, you would need to wait 6 months between finishing your WHV and applying for the new program. So yes, you would have to change your status to visitor and stop working for several months.
