Hello.

International Experience Canada (working holiday), apply from Poland and i have polish passport.
I think I have a problem because I received a work permit for two years. It should be a maximum of one year? What to do now ? Why is 2 years....... ?

You could try a case specific enquiry here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Or you could simply land in Canada and see what they give you although that implies paying out for 24 months travel insurance instead of 12 when CBSA may rectify your permit when they issue it at the POE.

If you raise a case enquiry at least you have followed through due diligence with an audit trail but is possible CBSA might only process what they have in front of them mapped to what they have on the system regardless whether you are from a country that only qualifies for 12 months although need the 24 months insurance for that to happen anyway. That does not make it right though even if it is immigrations error and could catch up with you later with any future applications.
