Brother wants to apply for IEC
I live in Canada with PR and my brother back in England wants to try working out here for a year or two. I emigrated under a different stream so never went through that particular application; but I understand the following is correct, I'd be grateful if someone could correct/update me if needed:

Is anything above incorrect/out of date, and are there any other big ticket items I should make him aware of before he looks more seriously into it? |
Re: Brother wants to apply for IEC
All sounds good to me. The only thing I would say is that he won’t automatically be eligible for PR after working in Canada, that’s not a given, and that the EE program is changing next year with ‘targeted’ draws. Nobody yet knows what the criteria will be, it may be a list of eligible occupations like it used to be, or something else (or a mix). So although you’re spot on now, that may not be the case next year.

You have to be 30 or under to apply (35 if holding Irish citizenship)

For the avoidance of doubt for anybody reading in the future, you're eligible as long as you get the ITA before your 31st birthday. Once you've done that your age is 'locked in' and it doesn't matter if you enter Canada after you turn 31. But just entering the IEC pool before you turn 31 isn't enough, so make sure you allow enough time to enter the pool and get invited before you are no longer eligible at age 31. |
