Clarity on applying for second working holiday

Hi all,

Just trying to make sense of this..

Right now I am on a working holiday visa in Canada, from the UK. This visa expires in January 2013. I'd like to apply to get another visa for 2013-14. The website tells me to apply 3 months before my current visa expires (a little late for that). I know 2013 working holiday program is supposed to launch around now, but does anyone know if I can apply for a second year before that? I'm thinking I can't, but just wanted to check. I'm stuck waiting for the new program to launch.

Thanks very much,

Tim

Hi

I have spent the last year in Canada so obviously I've gone over there. I'm assuming the rule doesn't apply to Canada? Does anyone know? Many thanks, Tim

1. You can't apply for the 2013 IEC until they open. January? Note you will probably need a new police certificate if yours is a year old and insurance with repatriation plus $2500. Note you will probably have to apply for an extension as a visitor when the IEC expires, no implied status.
2. No it is not 8 months, it is no more than 18 months outside the UK in the past 3 years to remain eligible.
