I obtained a Letter of Introduction within the framework of the 2010 Working Holiday Program but wasnt able to go to Canada. May I present a new application in the future?
No. From 1 January 2010 (quota 2010), the issuance of your Letter of Introduction counts as your participation in the program, even if you didn’t present this letter at a port-of-entry to Canada. As a result, you will no longer be able to re-apply for a working holiday if your Letter of Introduction was already issued to you because, according to the terms of the Canada-New Zealand Working Holiday Agreement, you may only participate once. NOTE: This policy is not retroactive. It came into effect upon the opening of the 2010 quota. If your Letter of Introduction was issued under an earlier quota but you did not present it at a port-of-entry to Canada, you may submit another application. You must meet all the eligibility and admissability criteria and repay the participation fee.
