Hi

Hi. I applied for the Working Holiday Visa this year (2014). I passed the first two stages (Information, passport, CV, Payment etc.). I was waiting for the last message to say I received my visa today (11 March 2014). Instead I received a refusal letter stating that "You are not a Dutch citizen who normally resides in the Netherlands." I have dual citizenship (One for South Africa and one for the Netherlands). How can this be a pre requisite for a refusal and how is it not mentioned ANYWHERE? By denying me this Visa it has turned my world upside down. Is there anything I can do? Please help
Did you the FAQ?
To be eligible for the Working Holiday category, you must:
be a Dutch citizen who normally resides in the Netherlands;
be between the ages of 18 and 30 (inclusive);
have the equivalent of C$2,500 to help cover your expenses at the beginning of your stay;
be prepared to take out health-care insurance for the duration of your stay – you may have to present evidence of this insurance when you enter Canada;
pay a participation fee of C$150; and
not have participated in the Working Holiday category before. As a Dutch citizen, you may participate in International Experience Canada only twice and each time in a different category.
