Can I have both a study permit and a work permit under International Experience Canada?

Yes. You can have two valid permits at the same time under International Experience Canada (IEC). If you receive an invitation to apply, you can apply for an IEC work permit even if you have a valid study permit. You can also apply for a study permit if you have a valid work permit through IEC.

IEC is not meant for foreign youth who plan to study in Canada for more than six months during their IEC participation. If you want to study in Canada for more than six months, you must apply for a study permit.
