Canadian here. I'm currently going to university in the US and graduate in a few months. I want to go to Japan with a WHV soon after graduation.
I noticed that the working holiday visa requirements have changed in Dec 2024. Now, the WHV can be granted twice in one lifetime, for a max of 2 years. The age range has also increased from 18-25 to 18-30.
A couple questions:
-
I know that the purpose of a WHV is for the "holiday," and you're allowed to work in order to fund your travels. I have the impression that means part-time work is ok, but I don't see anything on the website about max work hours. Does that mean you can technically work a full-time remote job as long as it doesn't interfere with your holiday?
-
I haven't been living in Canada since I'm finishing up university in the US, and I stopped filing taxes in Canada during COVID. Would this interfere with my status as a "resident" of Canada? Am I allowed to just use my Canadian passport as government ID for the WHV application?
