International Experience Canada Program
During internships and employment candidates are legally entitled to work in Canada.
Most candidates participate in the
International Experience Canada (IEC) Program of the Government of Canada.
It consists of 3 different work visa categories, the "International Co-op / Internship" visa, the "Working Holiday" visa, and the "Young Professionals" visa. Germans can participate twice, but the categories have to be different.
IEC work permits do not require a "Labour Market Impact Assessment" (LMIA) due to the reciprocal nature of the "International Mobility Program" agreement between Canada and Germany.
The
3 pools for the "Season 2023" opened on December 19, 2022.
