Hello - My head is completely bashed by all of this!!
I'm wishing to get a one year working holiday visa in Canada - have the forms etc...
I am a recent graduate from university - just wanting a gap year out of UK for a while... if i enjoy this experience too much is there any way I apply to extend this visa? I am planning on going around February 2012 - so when would I need to apply by? (does anybody know roughly the time scale it takes for the app process to be completed)
I have seen companies like Bunac who help with finding jobs etc ... but would it be just as viable to do this individually?
Also regarding the letter of introduction - do you have 12 months to enter canada from that point of receiving that letter - so if its dated 12 January 2012..you have to go before 12 January 2013... but say if you go March do you have up until March 2013 to stay in Canada or would you have to leave in January?
Completely confused - I don't know what I will be doing whilst there but I know I would love to take up this opportunity...
I know I may sound like a complete novice but need all the advise I can get!
Many thanks
Calypse
