What is IEC - International Experience Canada?

A Canadian government program that allows young adults (typically 18-35) from participating countries to obtain open or employer-specific work permits for temporary work, internship, or co-op experiences in Canada through reciprocal bilateral youth mobility agreements.

Why it matters in hiring

IEC - International Experience Canada comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
