Can you give us an official link from the IEC website? I can't find anything saying that, it would be good to know if that is the case as it's much earlier than usual so we can then advise other potential IEC applicants rather than giving them the usual info.
Thx. Sorry for the delayed response, this should take you to the page where it says October is when the pool re-opens. |

Ugh you know what, I've just realised I've been sent the 2016 link for scheduled invitations for 2017!! I've set up a profile in readiness and everything. Now that's out of the question, does anyone have experience/ knowledge on when the pools open roughly what time of the year? This is disappointing.
Anytime between Oct & March, it's usually in the latter part of that (Jan/Feb time), but can be earlier as it was this year. HTH, good luck for next year. |

Phew, I'm glad I've picked up on this otherwise I would be expecting some sort of response when they aren't giving them. It's likely I may have to create another profile then as I read on a thread on Facebook it expires within 6 months.
Thanks good luck too :) |

Technically, we don't even know there'll be an IEC programme next year, never mind the details of when it's opening. It normally opens between about November and February, and there's often an announcement about plans for the year between October and January (obviously, later announcements when the opening is later). A few years back, the announcements were Jan for Feb opening, so people with their hopes pinned on December had troubles - October's definitely early to be waiting to pounce on :)

Ok, I'm 25, single, no commitments etc etc. I'm at a dead end here in the UK right now and am desperate to experience something totally different, Canada looks so appealing to me. I work for a railway company and have done for 6 years.

Hi, currently in the same situation. 25, single and needing something new in my life. I have submitted an IEC application but the pool isn't reopening until October. Fingers crossed I will be invited to apply for a working visa and save until next May.
I did it at 25. Sure I didn't sleep for two nights before I flew but it was with out doubt the truest test of all my character. It won't be easy as nothing worthwhile in this life is. However you are, without question, at the optimum point to do it. Throw the dice and play the game as it is much much better than sitting on the sidelines. I will leave you now with the wise words of Maester Aemon: |
