Since May 8, 2020, the IEC Program has limited entry into Canada to only those IEC participants who have both
This applies to all three IEC categories including Working Holiday participants coming to work on an open work permit. These temporary measures will remain in place until further notice. If you do secure employment in Canada and want to travel, you will be required to bring proof from your employer confirming that you have a job lined up for you after you finish a mandatory14-day quarantine period.
