Job Offer Needed For Profile – International Experience Canada

[Sanjeev]

I got a question about the international experience Canada class: do I need to have a job offer in order to submit my IEC profile? I think there is some requirement but not sure what. Can you shed some light on this?

The answer to your question depends on the category you’re applying for.

If you are applying for a ‘Working Holiday’, you DO NOT need a job offer to submit your profile.

For the ‘Young Professionals or International Co-op (Internship)’ category, you must have a signed letter of offer or contract of employer for a:

– job;

– work placement; or

– internship

If you receive an invitation to apply for a work permit, you should contact your employer. Your employer must do the following things before you submit your work permit application:

– pay the employer compliance fee ($230 CAD); and

– complete and submit an offer of employment to IRCC
