Age limitation for Temporary Foreign Worker

bphilis

Hi everyone,

My friend is interested in living and working in Canada for a while. I think its a 2 year working holiday visa you get from Ireland. However she is wondering if she is still eligible as she is now 35, turning 36 in June. Is she too old now or does anyone know what are the age restrictions/limitations?

Thanks,

B.

If she applies now, she should be fine. Her application needs to be processed before she turns 36. If this happens then she'll be fine.

I was 35 when I applied, 36 when I entered.

We were given only 1 year permits when we arrived in Toronto airport in March 2015. You don't know this until you arrive and no arguing will change their mind.

Managed to get a 1 year extension last March, PR last month!
