Which nationalities and age range can participate?

Participation is decided by citizenship: the applicant's country or territory of citizenship must have a youth mobility agreement (YMA) with Canada. The official source does not state the age range.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The capture states no age range for incoming participants. The only ages on the page, 'Canadians ages 18-35', sit under a heading about Canadians going abroad, not about foreign nationals coming to Canada.
  • The per-country lists show which categories each country or territory may use, but the capture gives no country-by-country age limits.
  • chars 74-227
    To participate in International Experience Canada (IEC), your country or territory of citizenship must have a youth mobility agreement (YMA) with Canada.

What combination of travel, work, study or training does the programme permit?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the combination of travel, work and study the programme permits.

What are the defining limitations: quota, ballot, previous participation, employer limits, study limits or equivalent?

How often a person may take part is set by their own country: some countries allow participation only once, others allow twice but in different categories, so each applicant has to check their own country's eligibility requirements. The official source does not state a quota, ballot or employer or study limits for this category.

Limits of the record
  • The capture states no quota, cap, ballot or draw, and no employer or study limit for this category.
  • chars 229-440
    Some countries only allow you to participate once. Others allow you to participate twice, but in different categories. Because each country is different, you should check your country’s eligibility requirements.

What funds, insurance, onward travel or similar preparation is particularly important?

Insurance must cover repatriation: the cost of getting the participant to a medical facility, returning them to their home country, or returning their remains to their home country, in the event of severe illness, injury or death. The official source does not state a funds amount or a return-travel requirement.

Limits of the record
  • The capture states no amount of funds, no minimum insurance value and no onward or return-travel ticket requirement.
  • The insurance text appears as a detached explanatory note; the requirement sentence it explains is not in the capture.
  • chars 10158-10426
    This is when you need to return to your country in the event of severe illness, injury or death. Your insurance would need to include the cost of - getting you to a medical facility - returning you to your home country or - returning your remains to your home country

How long can the person stay, can the programme be extended or repeated, and what happens when it ends?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the length of stay, extension or repeat rules and what happens at the end.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
