It's a bit more tricky than the others but it can be done. I'll post more soon, this is the most expensive internet cafe in the world. Hey now there's a new thread!? -------------------- Woz..

A WHP Canada Work permit is only issued to persons who meet the specific eligibility criteria and who are admissible to Canada. For other work permits you would require an offer of employment in Canada. In most cases, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) must also provide a Labour Market Opinion. found this site but far too much reading and looking around for me atm as i got a headache www.workpermit.com/canada/working_holiday grrr i'll look into more at a later date when i can focus properly lol -------------------- Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful?

My sponsored visa took ages to get, including Labour Market Opinion time it took 4 months! If you can get a working holiday visa it only takes about a month for response..
