International Experience Canada (IEC) provides young Canadians the opportunity to travel and work abroad. IEC is available in countries that have a bilateral youth mobility arrangement with Canada.
Depending on where you would like to go, you can choose from up to three travel and work experiences:
Working Holiday
Fund your vacation with temporary work. The work portion of your trip lets you earn money, so that you can fund your travels during your stay. It is a great way to afford side trips, other excursions and accommodations while you are abroad..
Young Professional
Gain professional work experience abroad to better compete in a global economy. Widen your career horizons by working on teams from diverse cultural backgrounds, learn new approaches to doing business, experience a different country and learn another language.
International Co-op Internship
Acquire valuable overseas work experience related to your field of study. The International Co-op Internship is for students who intend to complete a work placement or internship abroad to fulfil part of their academic curriculum.
