Key Points
- Canada will expand the use of automation technology throughout the International Experience Canada work permit application process
Overview
The government of Canada will expand the use of automation technology throughout the International Experience Canada (IEC) work permit application process. The tool will be used to perform some repetitive tasks related to the sorting of applications before review by IRCC officers.
Applications whose eligibility is not approved automatically may still be manually approved following review by an officer. Only an IRCC officer can refuse an application; the automated tool does not refuse or recommend declining applications.
What are the Changes?
The government of Canada will introduce a new automation tool throughout aspects of the IEC application process. According to the government announcement, this will improve the speed at which decisions are made.
