On July 14, 2023, Canada and the United Kingdom signed a new Youth Mobility Arrangement to expand reciprocal work opportunities for their youth. The arrangement builds on an existing partnership that began in 2008 and includes improvements such as expanding the age eligibility from 18 to 30 to 18 to 35, adding two new streams (International Co-op and Young Professionals) to complement the existing Working Holiday category for UK nationals visiting Canada, and increasing the total stay period from 2 to 3 years. The new arrangement is expected to be implemented in 2024.
