Guys - Can someone please answer this for me ?

I intend to come to canada on a working holiday visa and then apply for permanent resident visa through the provincial nominee program. I already have an employer who is ready to apply for my pnp in the next few days and I will get it before I land.

- is it possible for me to apply for immigration through the PNP program while I am on a working holiday visa ? what difference will it make if i choose for it to be processed in canada or in Sydney as I am australian.
- if I get nominated by pnp proir to my landing in canada - can I still apply for open work permit through the IEC program instead of using the work permit support letter from PNP? The reason I want to do this is because my intention is to travel all around canada and work for different employers before I get settled with the one who has nominated me. My employer is happy wth that and is happy for me to start as soon as I get my permanent residency. Do you think this is okay ? I am not going to apply for my PR before I land i canada even if I get nominated.


Your assistance will be greatly appreciated .
 
As you've not had a response so far, I guess others aren't sure either. Have you tried emailing Canadian immigration directly? They were very helpful (and quick to respond) when I sent a query through before Christmas.

I'm brand new on here, so not allowed to post a link yet, but if you search for "Send Us an Email - Canada International" on Google, it should be one of the first pages up, they've got a direct email address link from that page. It's specific to country, so make sure that you get the page for Australians.

I hope you get your answers.
