I would really appreciate any help on this matter, I am wanting to extend my IEC working holiday here, and just wanted to check I am doing it correctly.
I am a New Zealander, my visa expires in March. I work as a contractor, so cannot get my visa tied to a workplace so I do not have a job, I also cannot extend my IEC so I am assuming I need to apply for a Working Visa? And if that is what I need to do, is there any way around not having employment yet still being able to apply for the visa?
Unfortunately we don't get a second application for IEC if you are a NZ citizen. A few years ago you could but unless things change in this years IEC you can only do it once
We're waiting on a LMIA so we can get a standard work permit since we cant do IeC again which might be an option if you can find an employer willin to try for a LMIA for you.
