For anyone clued up about Government 'computers'

Kind of. I have a question.

Last summer I was on a 'working holiday' in Canada. In this, you are approved a 12 month working visa. You can only do this once, and then if you want to go back you have to apply for permenant citizenship.

My question is, if one was to re-apply, say with an Irish passport, would the Canucks ever figure out it was the same person? AND, if they did, what would the consequences be likely to be?

Canada are shit hot on immigration, Ive had a problems before getting in just to work for a few days

Possibly.

The consequences would likely be deportation and, due to reciprocal agreements, never getting a visa for anywhere that requires one ever again.

Ooooh, that's pretty harsh. But where would they deport me to?

where ever you came from !!!

Britain, if your passport was an Irish one issued to a British resident; or Ireland if you'd used an address here.

Wouldn't matter really as you've free travel between the two states no matter what you've done in the past - you wouldn't be trapped in Dublin.

Not going to take rocket science for Canadian Immigration to work out that you are the same person, as you have the same name and date of birth. And they'll probably have your picture on file.
