The Canadian government announced pools for the 2025 International Experience Canada (IEC) season are now open.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Application fees have risen to CA$179.75 (about US$125), and the first round of invitations are underway for select countries, with others opening Jan. 13. Individuals who are eligible can create a profile and select their country or territory to find when the first round of invitations will take place. The government has also implemented quota adjustments this season, including reductions in Working Holiday slots for Taiwan and France.
The government will invite eligible candidates from the IEC pools to apply for a work permit in rounds of invitations. The number of candidates invited to apply during each round varies, and rounds will take place until no more spots are available or the IEC season closes. Applicants should plan travel accordingly, as the government recently announced work and study permits are no longer available to flagpolers at ports of entry.
