Hey paul, you need to be mroe specific. Are you currently on the IEC or here as a visitor, its not clear from you post?

If your a visitor your stamp in your passport will say when its valid too, it can be up to 6 months.

Theres a ton of info on this forum about applying for work visas from within Canada, use the search box

I can only clarify that based on your info given that the stamp in your passport is only valid for 6 months from date of entry unless you were issued a Visitor Record. Extensions have to be made through CIC Vegreville if you wish to stay longer as a visitor or you could leave Canada (flagpole) and re enter and risk being refused entry by CBSA.

The CIC will allow you to apply for an IEC permit whilst in Canada on visitor status but you will need to leave and re-enter the country to change your status.

Bunac will not allow you to do this at all.
