Terms & Conditions
I, being the person applying for the Work Canada Job Fair program, hereby confirm that I have read and understood the Work Canada Job Fair brochure. I agree that my application to, and participation in, the Work Canada Job Fair program, as operated by International Exchange Programs (NZ) Limited (?IEP?) shall be governed by the following Terms and Conditions.
A. Program Fee and Program Conditions
i. The applicable program fee is payable when I submit my application.

iii. I understand that the Canadian High Commission can only issue Working Holiday Visas (WHP) to individuals aged 18 - 35 years inclusive
iv. I understand that if I have been charged with a criminal offence (including drink-driving) it is necessary to inform IEP of details (even if the charges result in diversion or are dropped) to enable them to provide me accurate information on my suitability for the WHP visa.
v. IEP cannot accept liability for any loss or damage to any papers giving evidence or support in connection with visa applications. Applicants should photocopy everything before sending it into the office.
vi. The Canadian High Commission reserves the right to request additional information regarding Work Canada Job Fair applications. This information will be provided at my own expense and may result in a delay to my departure. Such requests will be made on random basis without prejudice.
vii. Applicants wishing to work in medical, childcare, or primary/secondary teaching occupations whilst on the Work Canada Job Fair program will require a government approved medical exam as part of their application. Such applicants must allow an additional six to eight weeks for their visa to be issued. Some applicants with medical conditions may also be instructed by the High Commission to undertake a medical exam as part of their application.
viii. Some positions commence within six weeks of the Job Fairs. To secure a position all applicants should apply for their Canadian Working Holiday Visa prior to the Job Fair.
ix. All attending employers will require a clean Police Report upon commencement of employment. IEP strongly recommends applicants apply for a report prior to the Work Canada Job Fair.
x. All employment contract details must be adhered to, including but not limited to, start and finishing dates.
xi. I must abide by the terms and conditions set by IEP?s relevant overseas host organisation, as advised in writing by IEP prior to departure from New Zealand.
xii. I must take with me evidence of access to at least the minimum funds required by the relevant country and host organisation?s rules.
xiii. I must abide by the terms and conditions set by the individual companies and operators. These include airlines, insurance providers, ground transport operators and accommodation providers. If I am uncertain about these terms and conditions I must contact IEP prior to departure.
xiv. I must advise IEP immediately of any changes to my confirmed travel dates. Additional charges may apply to change overseas bookings or reservations.
xv. It is a compulsory part of the program to purchase your flights to/from USA through our in-house travel agent (STA Travel). Applicants with sufficient air points or family contacts within the airline industry may be permitted to organise their own flights (a submission has to be made in writing and accepted by IEP in advance). .
B. Cancellation Policy
I understand and agree to the following cancellation penalties and conditions:
i. For cancellations made within seven days of my application being received by IEP, a $50 cancellation administration fee will apply.

vii. Cancellations made within two weeks of departure, or after departure from New Zealand, will not be eligible for a refund.
viii. Cancellations received after the date the visa application is sent to the Canadian High Commission on your behalf, or after departure from New Zealand, will not be eligible for a refund.
ix. All applications which result in the applicable visa being declined for whatever reason will be deemed as cancelled and will not be eligible for a refund. Applicants acknowledge that a decline of visa can be attributed but not limited to applicants being previously arrested by police, having criminal convictions (including drink driving), being charged for an offence but not necessarily convicted and having significant medical/mental history/condition. Applicants who are concerned about the likelihood of their visa being declined should consult with IEP prior to paying the program fee.
