Hi,

I am re-newing my working holiday visa (2nd time) while in Canada. This is an open work permit, no job arrangement is needed. It's valid for 2 years, I am renewing it before it expires.

The question on the 'Come to Canada' page of CIC asks several questions
One of them: What is your current immigration status in Canada?

b) Worker - Yes, I am working but the WH visa I am applying for does not necessitate pre-arranged employment. This is a possibility, not ruling it out.
c) Temporary Resident Permit Holder - Yes, I do possess a temporary visa, but is it a 'temporary resident permit holder' visa?

Which one am I?
 
Hi simonvee.
I have the same issue. I am a working holiday visa holder and I want to extend my work permit. Are we "workers" or "temporary resident permit holders"?
Will you really obtain open work permit?
Thank you.
