I have a question about the IEC Working Holiday Visa that I cannot find an answer to online.
I will be travelling to Canada in November as a tourist (on my Australian passport), however I wish to apply for the IEC Working Holiday Visa prior to this. If my visa is granted, am I able to enter Canada as a tourist only and then activate the IEC Visa a week later? I have a flight booked out of Canada for a week after I arrive but I may want to change the date of the flight and stay in Canada to work for a year - however due to family commitments I won't know if this is possible until the time that I enter Canada. I may instead need to return to Australia for a couple of months and then return to Canada, in which case I ideally wouldn't want to use up part of the Visa validity period whilst I am back in Australia, nor ideally would I want to be paying for medical insurance to cover me in Canada whilst in Australia.
I hope someone can help!
