International Experience Canada Issues 2,155 ITAs For A Work Permit

03 Aug 2019

2,155 invitations announced and IEC publishes clarification about repeat participation by Approved Organizations.

In the prior week, Canada announced another 2,155 invitations to appeal for a work permit by the program International Experience Canada (IEC), making the cumulative number announced for the year 2019 to 124,475. Though it is higher than the past week, the number of invitations announced still continues modest related to prior rounds in the season.

IEC applicants MUST take note that this week Canada published an explanation regarding repeat participation in IEC. Canadian immigration officials explained that if an IEC participant has completed their allowable participation below their particular youth mobility agreement (YMA), such members can then appeal by a recognized organization and, if still qualified, maximize the lifetime participation numbers up to two more times. 

Recent Highlights in the 2019 IEC season

• Grand invitation rounds held for the below pools of IEC Working Holiday: the UK received 510, Australia received 341, France received 223, Japan received 207, Germany received 170, and Ireland received 168 invitations while several Working Holiday applicants from other nations also got an invitation.
• Luxembourg, which was attached as a suitable IEC participating nation on July 2019, has officially begun accepting applicants. It is assumed that Canada will start issuing invitations to Luxembourgers following week.
• Though there are some pool closures, several IEC pools still have places left in their seasonal quotas, and there are few pools with “Excellent” possibilities of obtaining an invitation in the following round.

IEC Information: Per Nation and Program

As higher places get filled up, several pools can see the decrease. Certainly, some more pools are presently out of places altogether. Again, few pools have obtained extra quotas, so if you were not selected before, check your quota in the pools.
