Opening of the 2025 International Experience Class Pool
Canada opened its 2025 International Experience Class (IEC) pools to applicants on 16 December 2024.
The IEC pool allows young people worldwide to apply for work permits to travel and work in Canada for up to two years. Participants can choose from three categories: Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op. Once interested applicants enter the pool, they are invited to apply for a work permit through random selection rounds.
The number of candidates invited to apply during each round varies. Rounds will continue until no more spots are available or the IEC season closes.
