be considered for future invitations.
If you’re in more than one pool and you receive an Invitation to Apply for one category, you cannot be selected from another pool until:
- you decline the Invitation to Apply, or
- you’ve submitted your canada.com/%d8%a3%d8%ad%d8%af%d8%ab-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b3%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%ad%d9%88%d9%84-%d8%aa%d8%b5%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%ad-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%af%d8%b1%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%a9-%d9%85%d9%84%d8%ae/” title=”أحدث المستجدات حول تصاريح الدراسة: ملخص شامل صدر في 5 فبراير”>work permit application and we’ve refused your application.
If you decline the invitation or we refuse your work permit application, your profile will become active again and you may receive another Invitation to Apply.
If you’re accepted into an IEC pool, you should consider getting your supporting documents ready as some of them may take some time to prepare (for example: police certificate(s)). We’ll regularly issue invitations to apply to candidates in the pool. If you accept an Invitation to Apply, you’ll only have 20 days to complete and submit your application for a work permit and submit all supporting documents. If these documents are ready in advance, it will be easier to apply within the 20 days.
You can stay in an IEC pool:
- until we remove all profiles from the pools at the end of the season, or
- you’re no longer eligible for IEC.
Some categories will run out of spots before the season closes. If that happens, we’ll stop accepting profiles for that pool. If your profile is in a pool for another category, you may still get an invitation to apply for that category. If you want to submit a profile to a different pool, withdraw your current profile and submit a new one.
When we close the pools, you’ll be notified through your account that the pools have closed.
At the end of each season, the pools will be closed for at least two weeks while we prepare for the next season.
If you’re still interested in coming to Canada to travel and work as part of IEC, you’ll need to complete and submit a new profile when the next season opens. Once you start, you’ll have 60 days to complete this profile. If you’re still eligible based on minimum entry criteria after this period ends with submission failure due within those 60 days; then you’ll need start over again with creating fresh IEC Profile Number assigned anew upon successful completion thereafter!
How to Get an Invitation to Apply for International Experience Canada (IEC)
If you’re looking to travel and work temporarily in Canada, the International Experience Canada (IEC) program offers a fantastic opportunity. However, before you can start your adventure, you need to become a candidate in one or more IEC pools. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get started.
Step 1: Determine Your Eligibility
The first thing you should do is check if you’re eligible for the IEC program. This involves answering a series of questions that will help determine your eligibility based on various factors such as:
- Country of citizenship
- Country of permanent residence (where you have a permanent address)
- Current country of residence
- Student status (if applicable)
- Job offer (if applicable)
You can complete this questionnaire online without needing an account. It takes about 10 minutes and will provide immediate feedback on your eligibility.
Step 2: Create Your IEC Profile
Once you’ve confirmed your eligibility, the next step is to create a free online IEC profile. Here’s how:
- If you checked your eligibility without signing in, note down the personal reference code provided at the end of the questionnaire.
- Create an account on the IRCC website.
- Enter your personal reference code when prompted.
If you signed in directly for eligibility checks, simply click “Continue” after confirming that you’re eligible.
Important Information Needed
To complete your profile, you’ll need:
- A valid passport
- Personal details including full names, date and place of birth
- Contact information
Make sure not to include any commas between multiple first or last names when filling out forms.
Step 3: Submit Your Profile
After completing all required fields in your profile:
- Review which pools are available based on your answers.
- Submit your profile—this does not mean you’ve applied for a work permit yet; it merely places you into consideration for invitations.
Understanding Pools and Categories
There are three main categories under which candidates can apply:
- International Co-op (Internship)
- Working Holiday
- Young Professionals
Each category has its own pool per country; thus, ensure that you’re applying under the correct category relevant to your situation.
Step 4: Wait for an Invitation
Candidates who submit their profiles may receive invitations to apply for work permits through random selection from these pools:
- If invited within ten days from receiving notification via email or through their account dashboard.
- You must accept this invitation within ten days; otherwise it will expire.
- Once accepted, you’ll have twenty days from acceptance day to submit all necessary documents along with payment fees through IRCC’s online system.
What Happens After Acceptance?
Upon accepting an invitation:
- You’ll be directed back into your account where you’ll find instructions specific to submitting applications related to work permits.
Be prepared with supporting documents like police certificates as some may take time during processing!
