No, everyone is equally as important and we will be reviewing applications in order.
If you are currently on an IEC work permit that is about to expire, you MUST apply for an extension as a visitor to remain in Canada. Please remember that IEC work permits can not be extended: an IEC work permit can not be extended past the maximum duration specified in each country or territory’s youth mobility arrangement.
This also applies to you if you are in Canada and you have a new IEC work permit application currently in progress. This new IEC application will not provide you with implied status. International Experience Canada applications are not eligible for implied status. If you have submitted your profile into the RO IEC pool and are currently waiting for an invitation to apply, you are not on implied status either.
