Answer: —_ : the International Experience Canada (IEC)'s authority to issue work permits transitioned from paragraph 205(b) to paragraph 204(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) on December 18, 2024. To be awarded the Federal Skilled Worker selection criteria points for arranged employment according to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations 82(2)(b), an applicant must hold a work permit that was issued under the circumstances described in paragraph 204(a) or (c) or in section 205. IEC work permits issued under paragraph 204(d) on or after December 18, 2024 will not meet these requirements. Holders of IEC work permits issued before December 18, 2024 may be awarded selection criteria points for arranged employment if they meet all the requirements. Please be advised that the assessment of an application is conducted on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the specific circumstances and the supporting documentation available to the officer. It is the applicant's responsibility to provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate that they meet the requirements, We trust that this information will be of assistance to you.
