Canada has a long tradition of encouraging young people from home and abroad to travel and work overseas. The Canadian government is permitting more foreign youngsters to work and travel to Canada in order to benefit from varied and empowered youth having meaningful experiences there. The Minister of Immigration, refugees, and citizenship, Sean Fraser, launched the 2023 International Experience Canada (IEC) Program which allows 20% more applicants who can apply from January 9th, 2023.
IEC is a program that enables young people from Canada and other countries to visit and work in each other's nations. This increase means that over 90,000 individuals, especially young people of Francophone descent, will be able to work and travel in Canada, which will aid employers in filling labor shortages, including for seasonal job openings in the country's tourism sector.
The Canadian government assists employers, notably those in the tourist sector, in filling open positions by permitting more international youngsters to work and travel in Canada. IEC aids youth in discovering other societies, cultures, and languages while also enhancing their future employment opportunities and life skills.
Fraser said: “Our government is helping more international youth to work and travel in Canada, effectively helping employers, most of those in the tourism industry, find the workers they need. By giving youth the opportunity of international travel and work experience, we are strengthening our economy and helping our businesses succeed, particularly in places like Banff that need seasonal help.”

Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, quoted: “International youth bring so much to our country. From building people-to-people ties to helping our businesses succeed, international youth add value to communities’ right across Canada. Today’s announcement will benefit sectors like the tourism industry, to find the workers they need to fill labor gaps all while providing youth the opportunity to explore Canadian cultures, languages, and societies.”
Through the IEC Program, Canada has youth mobility agreements with 36 nations and foreign territories that let youth for Canada Immigration from those nations for up to two years. The ages range from 18 to 35 and vary per nation
