Working Holiday Visa - Time required to stay in Canada

[gl1984]

Hi

I'm currently on a two year working holiday visa in Canada having come from Australia. This was done through the IEC program. I may have found work with a Canadian company that requires significant travel overseas from Canada.

I remember reading something while doing my application that there was a maximum amount of travel outside of Canada. I had a few questions:

1) What is the maximum amount of international travel I can do while on an IEC Working Holiday Visa in Canada?
2) If I do get employment with a Canadian company and am required to do international travel does this count towards the limit?

Any help would be of great assistance. If possible if you have a link/contact number where these questions could be answered that would be great.

Thank you

1. There is no maximum/minimum amount of travel outside Canada. If you are issued the 2 year IEC, then it doesn't matter whether you are inside/outside Canada, the clock keeps ticking.
2. You are only entitled to 1 2 year IEC for Australians.
