Im coming to the end of my IEC two year visa, i have a job that will sponsor me. What are the steps to extend my visa? what do i need to fill out and where do i find this?
They'll likely need to do an LMIA for you to extend your permit. The only other option is if your country allows for a second IEC participation or a participation through a Recognized organization. Remember that the IEC permit does NOT give you maintained status so you would not be able to work in between permits.
Hi, after my IEC working holiday Visa can I apply for an open work permit not through IEC? I have a skilled job and my employer didn’t need to do a LMIA as I got hired under my working holiday Visa. But I was hoping I could apply for a open work permit within Canada as I have a valid work permit still and a current skilled job offer
It’s unlikely, as you would need an employer supported job offer. If you can get a nomination, an LMIA or support for another work permit through a recognized organization then you could get another work permit.
I was approved for IEC Canada. My country allows 2 years work permit and I intend on travelling summer 2024. My passport expires in 2026 two months shy away from the fully 2 years. I could I renew my passport at a later stage?
You can extend the work permit up to your passport validity but it can be a bit of a pain. If PR is the goal, I'd try to get a new passport before you come.
Yes, but usually the IEC work permit runs out, so you have to get employer support or change to a visitor. If you're using IEC for PR purposes, I'd plan out your PR strategy before coming.
I have my second IEC its only 12 months how can I extend or what can I apply for?

Hi there, is the RO program one time only like the ordinary working holiday?
Hi, yes it is.
Can I apply for PR after a year?
Yes, but usually the IEC work permit runs out, so you have to get employer support or change to a visitor. If you're using IEC for PR purposes, I'd plan out your PR strategy before coming.
Where to find this ro ?
