International Experience Canada for Citizens of Chile – Travel and Work in Canada

The 2012 International Experience Canada (IEC) initiative with Chile is now open. Apply now for one of the highly sought-after spots, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that in order to ensure that as many young Chileans as possible can participate in the program, you will no longer be able to apply for a second International Experience Canada visa.

Please remember that if you are currently in Canada under an IEC visa, you must leave the country before your work permit expires. Your current IEC work permit cannot be extended and you will not be eligible to apply for a second IEC visa.
