I am an a dual citizen wanting to apply for IEC. I already obtained the working holiday with one nationality, now applying with the second - Croatia which currently has no residency requirements.
When I do the questionnaire/wizard "am i eligible" and when I enter my details as
Passport Cro
Current residence Italy
Country of Permanent residence Italy
Says I am not eligible for IEC
In my second attempt trying the wizard.
Passport Cro
Current residence Italy
Country of Permanent residence Cro
Says I am eligible to come to Canada.
This is extremely confusing as it states no residency requirements.

Hello Scylla,
thank you for your answer. May I ask you where have you found the information that Croatians under the 2018 program had the residency requirement?
All I found so far is this page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...canada-bilateral-agreements-arrangements.html
It's been the same for months, and under residence requirements doesn't say that there are some restrictions.
Am I reading it wrong? Should I search somewhere else?

There used to be an IRCC site that showed IEC requirements in a table format but it's no longer live. This is where the residency requirement was clearly listed. Also, we had one member of the forum who was refused the IEC visa last year for not living in Croatia at the time they applied for an IEC. He had to move back to Croatia and reapply. However that rule no longer appears to be listed anywhere - so I'm assuming it's gone.

If it can be of any help for somebody else, the reason IRCC gave is that they have an "ongoing technical problem" . Just got this information from another person who got his response from them (I'm still waiting mine).
Thank you a lot.
