THE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CANADA (IEC) PROGRAM

2. Young Professionals: Suited for individuals with a job offer in Canada that contributes to their professional development. The work must be paid, not self-employed, and must align with certain occupational categories under NOC. Participants obtain an employer-specific work permit.
3. International Co-op (Internship): Designed for students registered at a post-secondary institution who require a work placement or internship to fulfill their academic requirements. The internship must be directly linked to their field of study, and participants receive an employer-specific work permit.

To begin the process, candidates must create a profile to express their interest in obtaining a working holiday visa. Eligibility criteria include being a citizen of one of the 33 countries with a bilateral youth mobility agreement with Canada, being between 18 and 30 or 35 years old, having a valid passport, sufficient funds, health insurance, and a clean criminal record, and not being accompanied by dependents.
