Re: IEC and spouse confusion.
Thanks C. Topic came up in a convo with a friend. If someone has entry on that IEC, do they have to leave on the birthday of the expiry age? And IEC gives them the right to work right? I don't need full info, I am just curious.

And no, they don't have to leave if they turn 30 or 35 during their time there, they just have to have an ITA by then, but they can enter Canada (you get a year to enter and activate it) and stay for the whole time regardless of their age on entry.

Yes, IEC is an open work permit for 2 years, so full right to work - the only caveat being that some occupations will need a medical (i.e. working with kids etc).
And no, they don't have to leave if they turn 30 or 35 during their time there, they just have to have an ITA by then, but they can enter Canada (you get a year to enter and activate it) and stay for the whole time regardless of their age on entry.

Re: IEC and spouse confusion.
Might be worth you trying to apply when the 2018 program opens, you could still both end up with IEC's which would be much easier for you than having to wait until she's got a job offer etc. If you apply as soon as it opens then you'd have a great chance of getting a visa in the draws.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Like I say, I'll keep an eye on them and my interest is registered, so hopefully if there are more invitations before we move, I'll definitely be applying.
On a side note/self hijack, anyone got any city recommendations? We're looking at Kelowna currently.

I will keep an eye on it but at the moment it's as follows;
