    I went to get my SIN at the Sinclair Centre you showed in the video and the woman working outside managing the queue was really helpful, told me how long it would be if I wait now and what time the queue usually starts so I didn't have to hang around all day and not get seen to

    Excellent video! All great tips! One more on initial entry: of you're on a working holiday visa, it'll have a limited time on it, two years from Ireland. You want to make the most of that time, so when you arrive, you can say you're on holiday. You can stay in Canada for up to a maximum of three months just on holiday. You won't be able to work, but that's fine. You can take that time to settle in, look around for where you'd like to live and work and once you've done that, go and validate your work visa, either by popping across the border into the US and doing it on the way home, or, I believe you can stop by an airport and do it there. The only caveat to this is obviously, you'll have to take the time to validate the visa before you can accept a job offer or get a SIN.
    Getting out and joining a club is a great tip! When we first arrived, I googled by nearest board game store, found out their game nights, and very quickly made friends that I still have today, 12 years later.

    So I can just buy it for my smartphone and then share it to other devices by tethering or creating hotspot?

      @Moving2Canadainfo  Рік тому

      In theory I guess you could, but you'll still have to have a plan if you want cell coverage to make calls and texts not over the internet and there is also fair usage policies even for 'unlimited data'.

    6:15 "ship you SIMcard anywhere in the World"
    Do they have eSIM option?
    My smartphone supports eSIM, so I don't need to wait for the postal service to bring me SIM from Canada.

    Hi mate, really appreciate the content and help - as someone with major anxiety this process has been very overwhelming! However, I have now recieved my IEC port of entry letter - does this mean i have an entire year to "activate" it? So circa March 2024 will be its expiry? Also.. on this visa, if i was to fly home for Xmas (to England) would I be allowed back in the country easily or am I just overthinking this? Thanks

    • @Moving2Canadainfo
      @Moving2Canadainfo  Рік тому

      Delighted to hear that the videos have been a help! So you typically have a year to 'activate' your IEC work permit at a Port of Entry (Canadian border) so if you just got it then it should highlight the date it expires on the letter. Congratulations though! Very nice to have one and exciting to be making the move across. Travelling home on the work permit isn't an issue and as long as you still meet the requirements for your IEC upon re-entering then you should be fine to travel back and forth (things like still having insurance coverage etc...) Congrats again on getting your work permit and let us know where you are planning on landing!

      😅 There is a few out there for sure! Canadian work experience goes a long way over here but its not impossible. Getting your resume set up for a Canadian employer is the first step for sure though!
