What’s the RO letter and how do I get one?

The best thing to come out of our Canada manifest circle since Ryan Gosling’s cheekbones, JENZA has been given an exclusive quota of 100 Recognised Organisation (RO) letters for Aussie and Kiwi passport holders. If you’ve already used your first Canada working holiday visa (IEC visa), the RO is a second chance to live and work in Canada for another two years while you’re still 18-35. Applications for RO letters are available straight away, are on a first come first served basis, and will shift quicker than a hungry bear in salmon season.

Who can apply

You must be:

18-35 (inclusive), meaning you must receive your Invitation to Apply (ITA) before your 36th birthday.
Australian or New Zealand passport holder.
Have not had an RO letter before.
No criminal convictions in the last five years.
Be able to show support funds of CAD $2,500.
Australian passport holders will be issued with a 24-month visa, and New Zealand passport holders with a 23-month visa.
You must enter Canada within 12 months of receiving your ‘Port of Entry’ letter.
Since COVID-19, you have been permitted to apply for your RO while in Canada on your first visa. However, this rule could revert back at any time.

How do I apply

Once you’ve booked on, we’ll send you your first set of instructions on how to enter the visa pool. You must do this straightaway.
You’ll then need to send us proof that you have entered the pool along with a copy of your passport.
Your RO letter will then be pulled out of the pool and sent to us by SWAP – our Canada partners.
You will then receive your ‘Invitation to Apply’ (ITA) with guidance on how to apply for your visa.
Like your first visa, you’ll need to attend a biometrics appointment before receiving your ‘Port of Entry’ letter.

Why does JENZA get RO letters?

Our Canada partners, SWAP, are a Recognised Organisation (RO) of International Experience Canada (IEC), the government program that facilitates Canada’s youth mobility agreements. Because they’re awesome humans, they sent 100 RO letters our way – exclusively for JENZA travellers.

Why is the Returner Canada more expensive than Work Canada

The RO is basically a golden ticket to work for another two years in Canada, and unfortunately, that golden ticket comes with a price tag. The administrative costs and fees for JENZA and SWAP to facilitate the RO letter is unfortunately much higher than the first-time Work Canada experience.

What's included

Everything you need to return to Canada for another two years – with one-on-one support from the JENZA Support Squad.

What’s not included

Flights

We don’t recommend booking flights until your visa is approved.

Support funds (CAD $)

You are required to show proof that you can access CAD $2,500.

Travel insurance for Canada

You may be asked for your policy documents at immigration, so you must take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for your whole stay. For example, if you book a six-month policy to save money, you run the risk of your visa being stamped for that duration – not the full duration of your visa.

Visa fee Canada

This is paid directly to the Canada Embassy and currently costs CAD $261.

In-person biometrics appointment

This is a condition of your visa and currently costs CAD $85.

Canada police background check

You need to provide a police check for every country you have continuously lived in for 6+ months since the age of 18. The process and cost varies per country.
