On October 27, 2023, the Government of Canada announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) closed the 2023 season of the International Experience Canada (IEC) program. Those who received an invitation to apply (ITA) will be able to complete and submit their work permit applications. Profiles of those who have not received an ITA for the 2023 IEC season will be removed from the IEC pool. Those applicants can create a new profile when the pools reopen for the 2024 season.
