Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced the continuation of a streamlined process for International Experience Canada (IEC) participants.

Those currently in Canada with valid IEC work permits can now request examination and document issuance domestically when submitting subsequent applications.

The extension, effective February 10, 2026, will remain operational indefinitely, offering greater convenience for young professionals, working holiday participants, and international co-op students seeking to renew their work authorization without leaving the country.

This policy update reflects IRCC's ongoing commitment to improving service delivery within the International Mobility Program (IMP) framework.
