What is the Young Professionals Program?
The Young Professionals program is part of the International Experience Canada (IEC) program, which helps individuals develop their professional skills and experience in Canada. The well-known Working Holiday is also one of the IEC programs.
Unlike other IEC programs, the Young Professionals program requires a valid job offer from an employer.
🖐️ Quick Note: What is IEC?
IEC is a program that allows youth from countries with agreements with Canada to work and travel in each other’s countries. The Working Holiday is one of the programs under the IEC.
The Young Professionals program, as the name suggests, targets young individuals aged 18 to 35, similar to the age restrictions of the Working Holiday program.
Young Professionals Eligibility Requirements and Key Points
✅ Aged 18-35
✅ A valid job offer is required (positions must correspond to TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3)
- Note: If the job is related to a post-secondary program, TEER 4 positions may also be eligible.
✅ Must work for the company specified in the job offer
✅ Proof of initial settlement funds of $2,500 CAD is required
☑️ Valid for 2 years (with one reapplication allowed)
☑️ Accumulating 1 year of experience on this visa provides an additional 50 points for Express Entry applications
