Are you a Canadian citizen aged 18 to 35? If yes, International Experience Canada (IEC) offers you the opportunity to work and travel abroad in one of over 30 countries and territories around the world.
By taking part in IEC you:
gain valuable international work experience and take your career to the next level
develop life-long connections and help strengthen Canada’s place in the global work force
experience the world while you work to discover your strengths and find your inspiration
We have agreements with over 30 countries and foreign territories to make it easier for Canadian youth to work and travel abroad. In general, you need to have a work permit to legally work abroad. To get a work permit to work outside of Canada, you have to apply to that particular country or territory.
Under IEC’s agreements, work permits are generally:
easier to get
flexible
less expensive
processed more quickly than other types of work permits
Depending on the country or territory, you may be able to work and travel abroad for up to 2 years.
