Hello,
I am Australian and have been living in Canada for 2 years and have to renew my International Experience Canada Visa from within Canada, previously know as Working Holiday Program.

I applied through the Canadian Consulate in Sydney Australia and completed Stage 1 of the process and received my Conditional Letter of Acceptance. In stage 2 I completed the questions online and the form they request I fill out is form IMM5710E to "Extend my stay or remain in Canada as a Temporary Worker".

Here are my questions:
1) Is this the correct form I should be filling out for this program?
2) It asks me to tick the boxes at the top for "current employer" or "new employer" but this isn't applicable to me as I should be on an open work permit. So which one do I tick?
3)It asks me for a LMO which also isn't applicable to me under the IEC program so do I just leave this blank?
4) It won't allow me to upload this online if I am renewing my visa. Why is this?

Really hoping someone can help me. :)

You should post this in the temporary forum as this is for permanent residency applications :)
 
You're probably filling out the wrong form. The form you should be filling out is called
" Application for Work Permit Made Outside of Canada (IMM1295) ".
Delete your current online application, then go back to the come to canada wizard and
answer the questions. In the field where it asks for your nationality put "australia" and in the field
asking for your current country of residence also put "australia", NOT "canada", even if you are in Canada.

Then once you answered all the questions it should be telling you that you're eligible
for an IEC visa, complete a few more questions and then fill out the new forms.
 
Thanks you so much. I went through the questions again and you were right. It gave me all the paperwork for the working holiday program (IEC).

Thank you so much for your help.
