As of April 16, 2025, International Experience Canada (IEC) participants physically in Canada who have submitted a subsequent IEC application while holding a valid IEC work permit and who received a letter of introduction (LOI) can request document issuance required under section A11 through the IRCC web form. This process will remain in effect until December 1, 2025.
Due to the Canada Border Services Agency’s decision to ban flagpoling effective December 23, 2024, these individuals can’t leave and re-enter Canada via the United States or Saint Pierre and Miquelon to present their LOI and activate their work permits.
