2012?

[maggoo]

Hi.

I looking at getting a working visa and get to Canada for hopefully feb/march. Just a question really for when I can apply for the visa? I'm not sure about this kind of stuff and don't want the visa to expire before I even use it.

*From the UK by the way*

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to find an employer first.........

Hi

You need to find an employer first.........

Assuming that the OP is apply for an open work permit under the IEC, s/he doesn't require an employer.  The Letter of Introduction is supposed valid for admission for 1 year, BUT there have been a couple of people on other forums who haven't got the full year.  Since it takes about 2 months to process an IEC, Nov/Dec should be fine,  That is if there are any left for this year.  You may have to wait until January/12 to apply.
