Canada work visas in short supply
As you may know Canadian Immigration has an annual quota of working holiday style visas under the International Experience Canada initiative and this year interest in the programme has far exceeded anyone's expectations.
The online visas are being released in three batches. The first 1,000 visa places were released on 14th February and filled within 3 hours of opening. A further 2,000 visa places will open on 25th February and a final 2,350 places are released on 7th March 2013. If any of your students are considering working in Canada this year, either as part of their studies or post college/university, then they are advised to make plans now.
