The International Experience Canada (IEC) program has officially launched its 2025 season as of December 16, 2024, offering a valuable opportunity for young individuals from eligible countries to work and travel across Canada.

The program continues to offer its three well-established streams:

• Working Holiday: For those seeking open work permits to fund their travels.

• Young Professionals: Aimed at career development through employer-specific work permits.

• International Co-op: Designed for students to gain hands-on experience through internships.

For the 2025 season, a slight increase in fees has been introduced, with work permits now costing CAN$179.75. While specific quotas and the timeline for the first round of invitations have not yet been announced, interested candidates are encouraged to prepare early to take advantage of this opportunity.

The IEC program continues to be an ideal gateway for young professionals, students, and adventurers to gain international work experience, grow their careers, and explore the beauty of Canada.
