I am sorry, I posted this in the wrong section and I did not find how to move it.

Hi. I am currently in Toronto with a IEC (Working Holiday visa) working as a Software Developer (NOC A I believe) and I would like to apply next year for IEC under a different category (Young Professional) which for Costa Rica I should be able to apply from within Canada. As per my knowledge...

Wow your are right, I am glad I asked. I thouhgt it was OK but it makes a lot of sense now you mention it. Thanks.

Hi everybody I will be flag-poling next week to activate a one year working holiday visa IEC and I need to get a 1 year health insurance, however I still have a health insurance that won't expire until august (next month) May I just get a new insurance policy for 11 more months to complete the...

Hi, I am wondering if you ever got the answer to your question? I am in a similar situation I would help a lot to hear from your experience. thanks.

thats good to know, i will keep that in mind since I am planning a trip this December. Another quick question, I plan to go flag pole at Rainbow Bridge (Niagara) one day before I start working, if for some reason that won't sum up to 52 full weeks (which I believe it does) and I fall short for...

Hello everybody. :) I was wondering if it is possible to flagpole to get a working permit with the IEC working holiday? Let’s say I have a valid TRV (tourist visa) and I go to Canada for vacations, then when I am ready to start working I flagpole and present the letter of introduction to the...

Hi mate, I am from Costa Rica, it seems I can apply for a second 12 month IEC permit but under a different category, that means that if I already used the working holiday I would have to apply for a "young professional". Its good to know other people has already done this successfully, thanks...

Scylla thanks for your response, do you think It might be less difficult to get hired if I already have an IEC work permit (applying online from my country of origin) so I can get as much experience as possible when I arrive. I heard getting a job offer from outside Canada is rather difficult...

Hi all. I qualify to get into the pool for Express Entry as a skilled immigrant, however I haven’t applied yet because I am a bit short on CRS points (Comprehensive Ranking System) with just about 350 according to online calculators, which is below the cut, in order to increase my points I was...
