Facilitated Travel Through Recognized Organizations
Travel and work in Canada with help from organizations recognized by International Experience Canada.
A lot of planning goes into spending a year of travel and work in Canada. That's why many Dutch nationals choose to have their travel plans facilitated through organizations recognized by International Experience Canada.
In addition to providing support and advice, these organizations may also facilitate your travel and work plans if you are a citizen of a country that does not currently have a youth mobility arrangement with Canada.
Participants who use the services of the recognized organizations listed below will receive an employer-specific work permit and while part of IEC, are not counted under the Canada-the Netherlands Memorandum of Understanding on youth mobility.
