    I think you need to be in Ireland when applying for the visa.

    Most of the visa application process is done online however.
    One main flaw in your plan is that usit will close the programme when all places are full, which could be before September. If you are asked to undergo a medical you will need to get this done in Ireland. You will also need your police certs before you head off (and it would look very suspicious someone entering the country on a tourist visa to have police certs for a working holiday visa!)

    As you're a student, you can apply for this type of visa as long as you are a student (every year up to age 35 if you want) so if you don't mind the added cost I advise you to apply for this work visa if you intend to work.

    I'm referring to the usit visa here. I have no idea what working visas may be available to you. Have a look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/ for the different types of visas incl eligibility and the rules.
