IEC provides youth with the opportunity to travel and work in Canada for up 2 years if they are citizens of a partner country. 

Candidates must create a profile in the IEC pool, be invited to apply and then apply for a work permit with supporting documents and proof of the information given in their IEC profile.

Once you receive an invitation to apply, you’ll have 10 days to accept the invitation. From the time you accept, you’ll have 20 days to apply for a work permit.
