IEC Application Process
- Eligibility Assessment: We evaluate your eligibility based on your nationality and the IEC category you’re applying for.
- Profile Creation: Create an IEC profile and enter the IEC pool, where you may be invited to apply.
- Invitation to Apply: If selected, you will receive an invitation to submit your work permit application.
- Document Compilation: Compile the necessary documents, including insurance, proof of funds, and a biometrics appointment, if required.
- Application Submission: Submit your work permit application, ensuring accuracy and compliance with IEC requirements.
Eligibility varies by country and IEC category. Typically, it is open to young adults from specific countries interested in working and traveling in Canada.
IEC offers categories like Working Holiday, Young Professionals, and International Co-op. We can help you select the most suitable category based on your goals and qualifications.
The duration varies by category but is typically one to two years. We can provide guidance on extension possibilities and transitioning to other permits.
While IEC doesn't directly lead to permanent residence, it can provide valuable Canadian work experience, which may be advantageous for future immigration pathways. We can discuss these options with you.
If your application is denied, we can help you understand the reasons and explore alternatives, including reapplication or addressing any issues that led to the denial.
