On December 9, 2019, the Government of Canada announced that the International Experience Canada (IEC) program has opened for the 2020 season. This program is geared towards young people who wish to travel and work in Canada.

Applicants must be citizens of a country or territory that have an agreement with Canada that allows them to apply for an IEC work permit OR use a Registered Organization (RO). ROs are youth service organizations that offer work and travel support, and most charge a fee for their services.

There are three sub-categories under IEC which have their own pool of applicants: Working Holiday, Young Professionals, and International Co-op (Internship). The program an applicant chooses will depend on factors such as whether they are a student, whether they have a job arranged in Canada, and on how many employers they wish to work for during their stay.

If you are interested in coming to Canada as a member of one of the IEC classes, please contact us to schedule a consultation.

I have had a great experience with Borders Law firm through out my son's citizenship and my wife's PR application. Devika, John Yoon, and Brendan are well knowledgeable and always gave the best advice. John Yoon, I can't thank you enough he made sure all the paper work is in order and dealing with 3 different department at the same time at he tail end of my wife's PR application, always there to answer my questions even after hours. John was just wonderful though out I have had a great experience with Borders Law Firm and I would strongly recommend this firm.

Andres and his team at Borders Law Firm really impressed everyone at Siller Helicopters. We came to Andres with a very complex case for work visas, with a time-sensitive and moving window. Andres was very responsive to all forms of communication which highly contributed to completing the work visa packets in a very short window of time. Their knowledge and attention to detail are impressive and made it a pleasure to work with Andres and his team. Our crews had no issues getting their work visas approved when they arrived in Canada. In fact, the Canadian officials complimented the visa packets they presented, stating they were the most professional and organized packets they had seen in a long time. Thanks to Andres and Borders Law Firm, Siller Helicopters was able to take part in the emergency restoration of power, to towns that were affected by this year's wildfires in Canada. Thank you again Borders Law Firm.
