Canada’s International Experience Canada (IEC) program provides young individuals from partner countries with the chance to gain valuable work and travel experience in Canada. This initiative allows participants to apply for open or employer-specific work permits without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
IEC Program Streams
The IEC program operates through three key streams, each designed to cater to different work experiences:
✅ Working Holiday: Perfect for those looking to explore Canada while working. Participants receive an open work permit, enabling them to work for various employers across the country.
✅ Young Professionals: Geared towards those with a job offer in Canada that contributes to their professional growth. This employer-specific work permit allows individuals to work in a designated role with one employer.
✅ International Co-op (Internship): Designed for students needing a work placement or internship as part of their academic program. Participants must have a confirmed internship offer in Canada.
Eligibility and Country Quotas
Each year, Canada sets quotas for each country participating in the IEC program. The number of available spots, age limits, and eligibility criteria vary depending on the applicant’s country of citizenship. Some countries, like Australia, have unlimited quotas, while others, such as Japan and Belgium, have set limits. Age requirements typically range between 18 and 35 years, though they differ by country.
