Extend Working Holiday Visa

[JCBB]

Hello,
I am in Canada with a Working Holiday Visa. Supposedly you can not extend the Working Holiday Visa IEC if you are from Spain (this is my case), but on the other hand I see that there is an option on the government website that allows you to apply for an extension of your Open work permit. Would it be possible to apply for this extension of the open work permit in order to extend my stay in Canada?

IECs cannot be extended. So not possible to extend through an open work permit extension application.

You can participate in the IEC program a second time but it must be in a different category. So if you want to do it again, you would need to qualify under the Young Professional category. There must also be a three month break betweent the time your first work permit ends and you submit the application for the next one.
