Cancelled usually means the documentation supplied was not sufficient or requested extra documentation not supplied. As it was not rejected you can just apply elsewhere. Where was this application?
OK. I wonder why they woukd say that though if you have booked ongoing activities? Immigration are all over the place with the DTV but maybe that is deliberately:-)
I agree getting a 5 year visa for a 1 month course sounded crazy. The whole visa was not thought through by the MFA and launched without much consultation with other stakeholders like immigration. Even the MFA themselves do not have same guidelines or policies in different locations
Anonymous participant 774 I once made a contribution via an agent for a little discretion when a visa was cancelled. Instead of leaving country next day I got 7 days to do a border bounce :-) :-) there was another time HR asked immigration to give me 14 days rather than the usual 7 after WP and B cancelled. They were fine with that.
