Cancelling a Canadian Visa?!

    Hey guys,

    I applied for a visa today on the basis that my friend told me they dont charge your account until you've officially got the place. However, the card that I used which only had around €400 on it, the money on this card is now inaccessible for me.

    My balance shows it on an ATM, but it is still inaccessible.

    The USIT site says

    "The programme fee of €399 is non-refundable except in the following cases:

    1. You cancel or transfer to the J1 Work & Travel USA programme before midnight on 12 December 2008"

    but the applications for the visas only came up on Jan 12th 2010.

    Does anyone think I'll be able to get my money back?

    According to the USIT website:

    "You will also need a credit/debit card (Visa/Mastercard/Laser) to pay your €399 programme fee, this fee includes the 'Canadian Government International Youth Programme Participation Fee' of CAD$150 (current rate in Euro is €100). Make sure that you have the security code number and all relevant details."

    And:

    "Please note: This fee is none refundable. The 'Canadian Government International Youth Programme Participation Fee' portion of the programme fee is refundable in cases where you cancel before your Work Authorisation documents has been issued. If you cancel after your documents have been submitted to the Canadian High Commission this fee will be refunded via them - only if your cancellation is received before they issue your documentation."


    So, I'd say you'll be eligible to get the 'Canadian Government International Youth Programme Participation Fee' of €100 back but not the rest unfortunately...
