New Canada-Italy Agreement Expands International Experience Options For Youth

On November 14, it was announced that Canada had come to a new agreement with Italy that gives youth more opportunities when applying for international work and travel experience under the International Experience Canada Program. The new agreement between the two nations allows youth, categorized as those aged 18 to 35, to work and travel between the two countries for up to 12 months at a time. Participants can participate in the program twice, which allows for a total of 24 months under the program.

As part of the program expansion, International Co-op and Young Professional immigration streams will be added. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, these new streams will help youth gain international experience abroad.
