The International Experience Canada (IEC) program allows young people from participating countries and territories to travel and work in Canada temporarily. Through international youth mobility agreements, eligible applicants may qualify for one of three categories: Working Holiday, Young Professionals, or International Co-op (Internship). Each category offers different opportunities, depending on the applicant’s nationality, age, and circumstances.
Eligibility requirements, including age limits and available categories, vary by participating country or territory. Applicants generally need to create an IEC profile and receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) before submitting their work permit application.
