Facilitated Travel With 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 UK citizens choose to have their travel plans facilitated through organizations recognized by International Experience Canada.

In addition to providing support and helpful advice, these organizations may also facilitate your travel and work plans if you are a citizen from a country that does not currently have a youth mobility arrangement with Canada.

Recognized Organizations (employer-specific)

The work permit under the employer-specific category will indicate the name of your employer, location and duration of your pre-arranged employment, work placement or internship. This means that you can work only for the employer as indicated on your work permit for the duration of the employment contract submitted with your application. The application will be outside of the annual IEC country quota.
