I wonder if someone can help me urgently. Me and my partner have been planning since June on going to Canada for a year on a working holiday visa. Got new passports and finally got police checks through today. Went online to print off and fill in visa paperwork to post tomorrow to find this message on the website:
The 2011 International Experience Canada of the United Kingdom is now closed.
Please note that we will not accept any applications mailed after Tuesday August 9th, 2011 (as attested by the postal mark). Please ensure that the mailing date is clearly and legibly indicated.
The information regarding the opening of the 2012 International Experience Canada initiative will be posted on this page this fall. Please visit this site frequently to also receive updates on improvements being made to the initiative for 2012
So this means there is absolutely no way of applying for a visa for 2011? I had signed up to the website and got forms emailed to me 3 weeks ago. I know its a long shot but is there no other way of trying to apply as we have both put in notices at work as we planned on having time off while we waited for visa to come through.
If there isn't then does anyone know when the applications for 2012 open up? Words can't describe how gutted we are. There was a delay on the police checks of a week which has lead us to missing the closing date (which wasn't noted on the website). Thanks for any help provided.
