Which country are you a citizen of? If it is the UK they are closed until 2012.

Hi PMM

i'm a Danish citizen i contacted them and they said there are still about 100 spaces left out of about 300.

i saw it takes between 2-14 weeks to proceed so can i travel to Canada on a visit while it's processing and then somehow obtain it in Canada?


thanks for your reply

Yes, you can get your letter of introduction, but to activate it, you have to leave Canada and re-enter. You have to show on entry a return ticket, proof of insurance, and $2500

Yes, I am sure. Visitors in Canada can't change to employment status in Canada.

Sooo i have a question... I have a friend who is on a working holiday visa and it expires in january. She wants to apply for a second holiday visa which she has been told she can do. Does anyone know when the 2012 apps will be open and is there any possability of implied status in her situation... would she have to quit her job when her visa expires?

Thank you in advnace!~!

1. New IEC program probably won't accept applications until January. So when her work visa expires, she must stop work, get a visitor extension and wait for the new LOI before going to the border and getting a new work permit.
