Course Description
Canada’s International Experience Canada (IEC) programme gives eligible young people from participating countries and territories an opportunity to travel and work in Canada. The programme operates through youth mobility agreements and country-specific eligibility rules. This training covers the three IEC categories: Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op (Internship), including pools, Invitations to Apply, work permit types and supporting documentation. The course is designed for immigration consultants, visa advisers, recruitment professionals, education advisers and caseworkers handling Canadian youth mobility cases. Through World Visa Academy’s structured training, learners develop skills to assess nationality-specific eligibility, select the appropriate IEC category, prepare profiles and supporting documents, and manage the ITA-to-work-permit process. The course focuses on compliant case preparation without guaranteeing an invitation, work permit, employment or future immigration outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
The course covers the complete IEC framework, including Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op. World Visa Academy focuses on eligibility assessment, youth mobility agreements, pool registration, Invitations to Apply, work permits, employer requirements and supporting documents so immigration professionals can manage Canadian youth mobility cases more systematically.
Eligibility depends primarily on citizenship and whether the applicant’s country or territory has a youth mobility agreement with Canada. The available categories, age range, participation limits and other requirements vary by country. Applicants must therefore be assessed against the specific agreement applicable to their citizenship rather than a single universal IEC checklist.
IEC has three categories: Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op (Internship). Working Holiday generally leads to an open work permit, while Young Professionals and International Co-op generally involve employer-specific work permits. Each category has different eligibility and documentation requirements.
Eligible candidates create and submit an IEC profile into one or more available pools. IRCC conducts rounds of invitations during the IEC season. An applicant must receive an Invitation to Apply before starting the work permit application. After accepting an invitation, the applicant has a limited period to complete and submit the application and supporting documents.
The course is suitable for immigration consultants, visa advisers, recruitment professionals, education advisers and caseworkers handling Canadian youth mobility applications. It is particularly useful for professionals who want to understand nationality-specific IEC rules, category selection, pool management, ITA procedures, employer requirements and work permit documentation while providing structured, compliant client guidance.
