IEC Program
It issues temporary work permits to young people from more than 30 countries, allowing them to live and work legally in Canada. Depending on your citizenship country, the permits are valid for 12 or 24 months.
Candidates must first register a profile that notifies Canadian officials of their desire to work in Canada on a working vacation visa. Successful candidates will be invited to formally complete their work permit application; however, this success is contingent on eligibility and availability.
Take a look at the list below to see if you are a citizen of one of the qualifying countries!
