Frequently Asked Questions

Nationals aged 18–35 (age range varies by country) from one of the 36 countries with a youth mobility arrangement with Canada.

Working Holiday gives you an open work permit to work anywhere in Canada. International Co-op and Young Professional permits are employer-specific and tied to a job offer in your field of study or career path.

Not for the Working Holiday category — you can apply and then look for work once selected. Co-op and Young Professional categories generally require an employer-specific offer.

IEC itself is a temporary work permit, but Canadian work experience gained through it can help strengthen a future application under other immigration streams like Express Entry.
