I would like to take advantage of IEC to travel within Canada in 2012. What are the criteria?
Information pertaining to 2012 will be posted near the end of the year 2011. However, you may apply under the 2011 IEC if you plan to enter Canada in 2012 – depending on which month you intend to enter. If you are successful in your application to IEC, you will be issued with a Letter of Introduction, which is valid for one year from the date it was issued (this is not your actual work permit). For example, if you were issued with a Letter of Introduction on the 1st of June 2011, you would have until the 1st of June 2012 to enter Canada.
