MORE FOREIGN WORKERS CAME TO CANADA UNDER THE IEC

Canada has long been celebrated as a land of opportunity, attracting individuals from all corners of the globe with its inclusive society, thriving economy, and breathtaking natural beauty. In recent times, the nation has intensified its efforts to welcome foreign talent through programs like the International Experience Canada (IEC). We're excited to share the latest developments regarding this program, which witnessed a remarkable surge in the number of foreign workers coming to Canada.

IEC Draws: An Invitation to Diversity

Over the past week, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted fresh draws within the pools of the IEC. From October 14 to October 20, Canada extended invitations to 3,965 young foreigners to apply for an IEC open work permit, underscoring the country's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce.

An Awaiting Pool

As of September 29, there were 32,256 candidates eagerly registered in the IEC pool, eagerly awaiting their invitation to become a part of the Canadian workforce. These individuals represent a rich tapestry of nations and cultures, reflecting Canada's reputation as a global melting pot.

A Worldwide Welcome

This latest round of IEC draws exhibited a wide-ranging and inclusive approach, inviting applicants from various countries. Notably, the number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) extended by Canada in this round was substantial, further emphasizing the government's dedication to bringing foreign talent to its shores.

Here's a breakdown of the ITAs by country:

In 2023, a total of 131,551 ITAs were issued under the IEC program. This impressive figure not only highlights the popularity of Canada as a destination for foreign workers but also the country's commitment to promoting diversity and multiculturalism.

Canada's International Experience Canada program is an integral part of the nation's efforts to foster an inclusive and diverse society. The recent surge in the number of foreign workers receiving ITAs is a testament to Canada's open-door policy and its desire to welcome talent from around the world. As we move forward in 2023, we can expect this trend to continue, strengthening Canada's position as a global destination for individuals seeking new experiences, career opportunities, and a brighter future. If you're a young foreign worker aspiring to work in Canada, the IEC program is your gateway to a world of possibilities. Embrace the opportunity, and let Canada be your next.
