Arriving in France as a Tourist Before Starting a WHV
Applying for a Working Holiday to France with a Canadian passport.
I would like to know .... once the visa is granted, am I able to arrive in France as a tourist first (before the start date of the Working Holiday visa) and then stay in French territory until the visa starts its period of validity? Is this ok and legal? I am assuming it is but just want to make sure!
Example:
Date of arrival to France: June 13 2025 with Canadian passport
WHVisa validity: 1 July 2025- 1 July 2026
