2023 IEC Counts Only if You Arrive in Canada
Hello World! Today we would like to share an update on the 2023 International Experience Canada (IEC). It just had the first round of invitations on January 9, 2023.
For details about the 2023 IEC, please click here.
If you haven’t used your IEC, you can apply it again
As of January 9, 2023, the definition of participation for the IEC changed. It only counts as participation if you arrive in Canada and receive your Work Permit.
Previously, if you were approved for the IEC program, you were counted as participating even if you did not travel to Canada.
Now, participation only counts if you arrive in Canada and receive your Work Permit. If you applied in the past and have not activated your IEC Work Permit in Canada, you can create a new profile and apply it again.
