Working Visa questions.

Wolfretro

Well,

I was lucky enough to get one of the 2012 Working Holiday Visas in Canada. I went out there for a few months, got myself a nice job but got very unlucky in a housing situation... and ended up home on some false promises (I'm 23, what do you expect. Sense and good decisions? :pac:). So now, I'm back on my tod.

I want to be back out there. I have a place to stay out there with an old friend who just got on his feet (better late than never, but no chance of the same job back-- different province). Since I have a nice place, I might be able to get a nice job again. From there, I need to know my options. I have until the end of June on my Visa.

I want to stay in Canada for good. I'm done in Ireland, I need a good wage and a good life as I have people I love and want to take care of. I'm getting conflicting information from USIT, the IEC and all that so I have no idea.

Can I get my Working Holiday Visa extended? If so, how do I do it? Do I need a skilled job the first year, or do I have more time than that?

Also, does the announcement of the Canadian working Visa being extended and expended affect/benefit me in any way?

Thank you. Any and all help would be appreciated.

No you cant extend your current IEC visa.
But you should be able to apply for a new IEC when the program reopens for 2013 assuming you meet the criteria for it.
Check if the province you are moving to has a Nominee Program then all you need to apply for PR is an job offer letter from your employer.

Just got on quota now for Canada. Applied for it already but was put on waiting list. Does anyone know if I need to get new police checks again? Or will the ones from February do ? Thanks a mill

They're valid for 3 months, for the purposes of CIC. So you'll need another one.
