Sorry I thought I would keep my posts separate since they're different subject matter. As stated previously my first working visa is coming to an end this Sept. 10th and the second one I applied for from Ontario and received is about to start : )

I'm wondering anyone who has been through this process what steps do I need to take in activating my new visa besides leaving and entering back in the country?

i.e. do i need to provide proof of my new health insurance, my bank account proof that I have money, etc.

Any tips from fellow British Expats on this matter would be really appreciated )) thanks

I am already in Canada under the IEC initiative and am applying as a repeat participant. I am employed but I do not have the sufficient amount of funds in my account as per the eligibility criteria of the IEC. Will a letter from my employer be sufficient to demonstrate I can support myself financially?

No. Assuming your new application to the IEC initiative is successful and you present yourself at a Canadian Port of Entry to obtain a new open work permit, you must have a bank account statement which clearly shows you have sufficient funds in your bank account to support yourself financially for the first three months of your stay in Canada (C$2,500). A letter from your employer is not sufficient to demonstrate you can support yourself financially and will not be accepted.
Proof of medical insurance will also be required though not always asked for.
