International Experience Canada (a program of the Government of Canada) provides Canadian youth with the opportunity to broaden their perspective of the world and Canada’s place in it through international travel and work experiences that enrich their careers and help build a competitive global workforce that contributes to Canada’s economic success. The program also fosters people to people ties and strengthens relationships between Canada and partner countries. We have reciprocal youth mobility agreements with over 30 countries, which give Canadian youth a simplified work permit access to work and travel abroad for up to two years.
Are you interested in working in international development? Some member organizations of the members of the Ontario Council for International Cooperation will be recruiting to fill paid and volunteer positions, and conducting speed interviews at the Expo. Bring your resume, and go to the OCIC table in the exhibit hall to book an interview time!
