The IEC (Working Holiday Visa) 2023, is now accepting applications:
The IEC would be expanding its program intake, allowing close to 90,000 applicants from partner countries the opportunity to work and travel in Canada, in 2023.
The program is Canada’s pathway to offer international exposure and work experience to the youth of 36 partner countries—allowing approved applicants the opportunity to work in Canada with a work permit, and travel freely within the country. Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) hopes that the expansion of the program will further help fulfil labour needs in sectors that suffered during the pandemic, most notably in tourism.
