The International Experience Canada (IEC) program is a Canadian youth mobility program that allows young people from partner countries to come to Canada to work, travel, and gain valuable international experience. The program has three categories: Working Holiday, Young Professionals, and International Co-op.
To be eligible for the IEC program, applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 35 (depending on the country of origin) and hold a passport from a partner country. The eligibility criteria and application process vary depending on the category, but typically involve an online application, a fee payment, and a random selection process.
The IEC program provides an opportunity for young people to immerse themselves in Canadian culture, develop new skills, and make valuable connections in their chosen field. It also promotes cultural exchange and strengthens Canada’s economic and social ties with partner countries.
