How can I apply for a Working Holiday work permit?

New to the Working Holiday work permit? Take a minute to read the Introduction to the Canadian Working Holiday Visa Program for a comprehensive overview.

If you’re a former Working Holiday visa holder, you still need to understand how the process works for Canada. For instance, unlike Australia or New Zealand, Canada has a quota system. Candidate profiles are drawn at random from pools—you may not receive an invitation at all since there are usually more applicants than visas available.

You can now submit your profile to a pool. Use our comprehensive Step-By-Step Guide to International Experience Canada Work Permits for Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op work permits applications (with screenshots!).

How much does it cost to participate in International Experience Canada?

  • Working Holiday applicants must pay the CAD156 IEC participation fee plus the CAD100 open work permit holder fee plus CAND85 biometrics fee (total fee of CAD341).
  • International Co-op and Young Professionals applicants must pay the CAD156 IEC participation fee plus CAN$85 biometrics fee (total fee of CAD241).
