How to Find Work/Internship Opportunities

If you are ready for a change, a fresh start in a new country full of possibilities, the International Experience Canada Program is for you and IIN is here to help! It’s much simpler than you think:
1- Choose your country of destination, 2- Apply for your visa permit, 3- Get there, explore, find work and be happy!
But remember! In order to be eligible for work you must hold a valid work visa, so make sure you apply for the visa BEFORE you start looking for work!
