SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete International Experience Canada (IEC)?

Move from an eligible IEC country/category decision through pool entry, invitation, work-permit filing and port-of-entry document checks without treating pool entry as selection. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Use the live IEC country and category tool to record the passport country, age range, Working Holiday, Young Professionals or International Co-op category and whether the current season is open.

2. 2

   Create the applicant’s own IRCC account and IEC profile with exact passport, citizenship, residence, family, education and work facts.

3. 3

   Monitor the account and current rounds of invitations, update material facts and preserve profile-expiry information while waiting.

4. 4

   If an invitation to apply arrives, verify the category and live response deadline in the account before accepting or declining it yourself.

5. 5

   Open the invitation-linked checklist and prepare passport, police, medical, résumé, family, travel, funds, insurance and category-specific job or school records requested.

6. 6

   Submit the work-permit application before the account deadline, pay IRCC directly and complete biometrics, police, medical or additional-document requests.
