Application->work permit and re-applying

Hi,

hope you can help.

- I just got my application for work and travel (under IEC) 2011 approved.
The paper states the validity goes until 01/26/2012 and that i must enter Canada no later than that date.
Upon entry I will receive a work permit which will be valid for a period of up to 12 months from the date of entry.


Does this mean that I could enter Canada on the 1st of January 2012 and that the work permit runs until the 1st of January 2013?

Or is the whole thing just valid until 01/26/2012 (application and work permit)

Any Experience?

Unfortunately the Canadian Embassy doesn't answer my questions.


-Furthermore I would like to know if I can re-apply (if I waive my right on the already approved application)?

Is there a forced waiting time before applying is possible?


Many thanks for your answers.

Ja. Du siehst das richtig.
Du musst nur vor dem 26.01.2012 angekommen sein.
Dein WP ist dann gueltig ein Jahr vom Tage Deiner Einreise an gerechnet.

Oh. Sorry, didn't noticed that your question was in english.

The answer is yes.
If you enter Canada before the date 26.January 2012 your work permit will be valid
one year from the date of issue.
Hope I could help.
