Introduction
Exciting news for young professionals and adventurers!
Canada has officially opened applications for the International Experience Canada (IEC) 2025 season.
If you dream of working and living in Canada, this could be your golden opportunity — and ExploreVisaHub is here to guide you through the entire process, making your Canadian journey smooth and successful.
Work experience gained through IEC could even count towards your Permanent Residency (PR) application later — a true stepping stone to making Canada your permanent home!
What is International Experience Canada (IEC)?
International Experience Canada (IEC) is a unique program that allows young citizens from specific countries (that have a youth mobility agreement with Canada) to obtain a Canadian work permit easily.
Compared to other work permit programs, IEC candidates enjoy higher acceptance rates and faster processing.
Participants in IEC programs can:
-
Gain valuable Canadian work experience
-
Explore Canada’s culture, lifestyle, and job market
-
Strengthen their future PR applications through programs like the Canadian Experience Class (Express Entry)
In short, IEC is more than just a work permit — it’s a pathway to a new life!
