An IEC Young Professionals work permit application submitted on October 11, 2024 and approved on October 29, 2024 — under three weeks.
The Korean write-up notes that in 2024 Young Professionals rounds ran from the first on January 8 to the last on October 21, with 300 candidates selected in total; this client applied ten days before that final round.
Young Professionals sits inside International Experience Canada and, unlike the working holiday, requires an employer-specific job offer in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 (TEER 4 is possible where it relates to post-secondary study), plus proof of CAD $2,500 in settlement funds.
