Andorra joins the International Experience Canada Program
On June 10, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) informed in a press release that Canada and Andorra have signed a new youth mobility arrangement. The agreement allows young Canadians and Andorrans to live and work abroad under the International Experience Canada (IEC) Program. Candidates aged 18 to 30 can apply for one-year work permits under the Working Holiday stream of the IEC. Andorra became the 36th participant of the program. In 2019, Canada invited 136,480 young foreign nationals in this program. In 2020, IRCC sent 41,922 ITAs in the IEC. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, Canada postponed new invitation rounds in late March. However, the program reopening is expected in the coming weeks as the situation gets improved.
