What is International Experience Canada?

Canada regularly invite eligible candidates from the IEC pools to apply for a work permit. These are called rounds of invitations. The number of candidates varies for each round, and will end when there are no more spots avaliable or the IEC season closes.

Only IEC participants with a Port of Entry Letter of Introduction and a valid job offer are eligible to travel to Canada right now. You must also be able to start your job as soon as you complete your quarantine. Check the start date on your job offer before you travel.

If you are in a pool, you could receive an Invitation to Apply any time after the date of the first round of invitations.

Who Can apply?

During the final round of invitations, we plan to invite enough candidates to meet the quota for the season. Sometimes, a large number of:

• Candidates decline their Invitations to Apply
• Candidates let their Invitations to Apply expire
• Or applicant’s work permit applications are refused.

To meet the quota in these cases,  Immigration and citizenship Canada may issue a very small number of Invitations to Apply after the final round takes place.
