Hi all,

I've been granted a work permit from Ireland to Canada which is due to expire on March 1st of this year. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the move for a couple of months. Is it possible to extend/defer my visa so I can enter St s later date? If so how do I di this do I won't lose my visa.

Thanks

1. If it is an IEC open work permit, then it is a case of "use it or lose it" IEC LOI can't be extended.

Apply for another visa now or is it a case you only get one

You can find the rules here.

If you want to apply for a second one, it would have to be under the co-op / internship category.
