Can someone please let me know whether one is allowed to take a working holiday visa (WHV) if you have already submitted an application for residency (skilled worked) and waiting to hear from them? I say this because at the end of 2010 i would like to take up the 2 year working holiday visa to Canada that is available to Australian citizens but i also wanna move to Canada for good eventually so i wouldn't mind putting in an application for residency as well given that it takes a long time to get processed
so my questions is, Am i allowed to take a working holiday visa while i have submitted an application for residency?
probably because you didn't do any research as the question has been answered countless times as YES.

"8) Can applicants have both a pre-C-50 FSW application and a C-50 application?
Yes, applicants may have multiple FSW applications. The applicant can choose to either maintain the first application and submit a new C-50 application with a new processing fee; or withdraw the first application and submit a C-50 application. If an applicant chooses to withdraw their pre-C-50 application before processing begins, they will receive a refund. "
