Working holiday visa

But I am gonna have to ask you...

I'm gonna move along because I do wanna ask you about these, uh, you know, about these working holiday visas as well.

Mm.

Mm.

Today I'm breaking down International Experience Canada and its three categories.

The Working Holiday Permit, Young Professionals and International Co-op.

But first, let's step back and look at the big picture.

Canada or IEC is a federal immigration program.

Second, even if multiple categories are available for your country, you might not necessarily be allowed to combine them.

Third, the length of your work permit varies depending on your citizenship.

Australian citizens can get a 24-month working holiday permit, whereas German citizens can only get up to 12 months.

All right, now that you have the overall context, let's get into the specifics of each category.

We want to support it in every way we can because I think that there's a good future, especially for the bioenergy.

Northern Territory Labor leader Selina Yubo says the federal government must provide the NT with a carve-out from its overhaul of the Working Holiday Visa program.

Under changes announced last week, backpackers will have to enter a ballot to stay for a second year and the number of second and third year Working Holiday Visas provided will be reduced by about 38,000.

Ms Yubo says she doesn't want the Northern Territory to be treated like the rest of the country.

The Federal Labor Government will show a complete lack of regard for the Northern Territory on this particular issue if they do not give us a carve-out.

Police confirmed the man was swimming with his friend when he was taken by the shark.

The beach will remain closed until midday today.

Tourism operators are criticising the federal government's plan to cut the number of people on working holiday visas, saying it will create skill shortages in tourist hotspots.

The popular youth visa program will now have a ballot system for those wishing to stay for a second and third year, after the government announced a major overhaul of the visa system yesterday.

The government says it will restore the integrity of the program and ease pressure on the housing market.

There's a list of kit what you have to have.

And if you go on Working Holiday Visa little page on Facebook, you'll see that people do get turned away.

Oh, really? If you go up there in sneakers and shorts...

They'll say, where are your waterproof pants? Where's your waterproof coat? You're going to get too cold on the mountain.
