I meant if you were a young Canadian applying to go to the UK.

You can also apply directly for the UK's Youth Mobility Scheme (Tier 5 Visa):
https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-youth-mobility/overview I have never done this, but there is no reason why a young Canadian can't apply directly themselves, using the second link. I don't know how the costs compare. For the Irish WHV it is cheaper to DIY (for a young Canadian).

It's slightly more expensive and irritating for a young Canadian to come to Britain on tier 5 than for us to go there on IEC. We had to do fastest-finger-first then no worry, they have to do endless forms, an in-person interview, biometrics, etc, and a slightly higher bank statement requirement. But fewer of them wanting to do it, so the ones who do all get in.

We've all been making a mistake with the drop down. (I was only bitching about this a few weeks ago when I got my ETA as well) - "British citizen" and "United Kingdom & colonies" do not mean the same thing to CIC. The latter is what most Brits will search for when asked "Country issuing your passport", but the former is what you need to get through the questionnaire properly.

Excellent news IMHO. Its a privilege to get a WHV not a right so therefore applicants must adhere to the programme. You can still visit or extend your stay if already here so I don't see it as a deal breaker.
Living month to month in Canada isn't cheap if not working and Ive seen many IEC applicants state that getting the $2500 required funds can be difficult which I think is still too low. How many might be encouraged to work under the table while waiting for approval? |

Indeed. So in your situation, if someone from the UK showed up to your border and said their name was in the pool rather than having an invitation to apply, would this now be more of a red flag than it was before?
The ITA was valid for 12 months so if a person came over as a visitor initially there was less risk as they would eventually use the ITA to get a work permit. Being in the pool is not the same thing so is more of a risk as no guarantee they will get the ITA. If for example they were in Canada for 4 months and then got the ITA would they still have the $2500 in funds required? |

As an example, I just did a fake 'come to Canada' to check. What is the country/territory of your passport? British Citizens What is your current country/territory of residence? If you are presently in Canada, you should select Canada. England What is your date of birth? January 12, 1993 Do you have a letter proving one of these organizations will help you plan your trip or find work in Canada? No What is your country/territory of permanent residence? This is where you live permanently. For example, if you are a Mexican student in Canada, your country of permanent residence is Mexico. England Do you plan to do a work placement or internship in Canada as part of your studies? No Do you have a signed letter of offer, contract of employment, or internship agreement from an employer in Canada? No Are you registered at a college or university in your country of citizenship? No Your results International Experience Canada (IEC) You may be eligible to come to Canada under International Experience Canada initiative. You can create a profile in the following pool(s): Working Holiday category |

You need a police cert. Medical is only required if he wants to work with children or in the healthcare sector.
