PLAN AHEAD FOR THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE CANADA SEASON
The landscape of Canadian immigration is constantly evolving, and staying updated on the latest changes is crucial for those seeking to live and work in the Great White North. In recent news, the Government of Canada made an important announcement that impacts the International Experience Canada (IEC) program for the year 2023.
The Latest Update: Canada Closes the 2023 IEC Season
On October 27, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced the closure of the 2023 season of the International Experience Canada (IEC) program. This announcement had a significant impact on applicants and prospective immigrants who were eagerly awaiting their chance to participate in the IEC program. The closure of the 2023 IEC season means that those who have already received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) are still able to complete and submit their work permit applications. However, profiles of individuals who did not receive an ITA for the 2023 IEC season have been removed from the IEC pool.
Planning for the 2024 IEC Season
For those who did not receive an ITA for the 2023 IEC season, there's no need to be disheartened. The good news is that you can prepare for the 2024 IEC season. The announcement from IRCC makes it clear that applicants can create a new profile when the pools reopen for the 2024 season. This presents an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about experiencing Canada's vibrant culture, work opportunities, and natural beauty.
The closure of the 2023 International Experience Canada season may have been disappointing for some, but the 2024 season is just around the corner.
