Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!

Thought I'd post in here as it's one of the threads I mentioned I was going to Vancouver.

I have an IEC visa (from the 2012 scheme) and will be activating it on the 9th April. I was lucky enough...

Re: LMOs and TWPs

I don't want to hijack this thread but I'm in a very similar situation to NiceCaribou (great name, btw). I'm looking for a bit more clarification as I have a Working Holiday Visa which I haven't...

Re: Contacting potential employers on recce Trip

Folks, thanks so much for the suggestions.

Totally agree about not putting the person in a position where they think I'm asking for a job. That would only be 'awkward'.

Hey folks,

I am off on a (final) recce trip in a few weeks time (Oct 13th for a fortnight) to Vancouver. I have an IEC Visa which I'm not activating this time - but will be when I next travel, in...

Yeah I agree Former Lancastrian. (By the way I wasn't "selling myself" there, I was just regurgitating something an employment agent recommended saying. It was a bit of test ;) )

Re: IEC 2012 - Time to get Organised!

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you, scarySquirrel. We're actually going early May (16th May is our deadline). Fortunately, my impatience will be placated slightly as we're off on holiday to BC...

Re: Web developers of BC

I might give this thread a little bump as it's also pertinent to my interest, too. Anyone with any web design (or developement) experience have any, err, experience in gaining a full-time job at a...

Re: International Experience Canada

I understand entirely and I'm not disagreeing with you. The lack of transparency is something that has been mentioned in countless threads. I really do hope "they" do something about it.

Re: International Experience Canada

I sent it again, but sent it as 'plain text' and this time I received an auto-responder that says:

Re: 0631 - Restaurant and food service managers

NOC 0631 is still at 34, though. Excellent news. They've just about reached 10% of the "total" cap of 10,000, too.
