We started early for our RO IEC 2024 Season, and we had a great RO Season supporting the most amazing participants and that’s why we want to continue the trend for IEC 2025 Season.
We will open our Waiting List for our Recognized Organization program before the International Experience Canada (IEC) 2025 season opens.
You will be able to join our RO Waiting List for IEC 2025 Season from Friday July 19th 2024 at 09:00am (PDT) Vancouver, BC Time onwards!
IMPORTANT – If you joined our Waiting List during the IEC 2024 Season, we will not be carrying over our waiting list, you MUST apply again to join the new waiting list for the IEC 2025 season to be considered.
Also please remember, that having emailed our team regarding the opening of our RO IEC 2025 waiting list in the past does not mean you will be automatically on that waiting list, you must apply on your own after we open our new RO 2025 Waiting list.
As every IEC Season, our quota is very limited so unfortunately, we will not be able to assist all applicants that apply.
If you would like to secure your IEC RO Working Holiday for IEC 2025 season, we recommend you to read this post carefully so you don’t miss the chance.
For IEC 2025, we will place ALL applications on our waiting list. The reason is that at Stepwest, we don’t assign spots first come first served. We review applications carefully before and we only reach out to qualified applicants that we believe we can support through our RO program.
Joining our RO IEC 2025 waiting list is free and even if we contact you for a Consultation, you are not obligated to register in the program. We will only request a payment once you have met our team through a video call and you have been officially accepted into the program and assigned an RO spot for the next IEC Season!
See below the steps on how the process will look like so you know what to expect:
Make sure to select the correct program:
Do NOT submit multiple applications, as by doing so, you will be moving your application down on the list of applicants.
If you apply for a different program on our selection list, our system will not place you on our RO IEC 2025 Waiting List – you will need to apply again if this happens to you.
Please remember that if you are in Canada, do not select your nationality as “Canada”, if you do so, our system will disregard your application automatically, so you will not be considered. Nationality is your country of Citizenship, not where you are located today.
Something we remind applicants of every season, please upload your most updated Resume only. Your Resume should include your current location, email contact number, work experiences and education, but please don’t forget to include the countries where you completed these periods of study or work. Our team will use your resume to review your situation and if you made a mistake in the contact form, we can still find your contact details as part of your resume. If you share with us a resume from a few years ago, we won’t contact you.
You will receive an email confirming you are now part of our waiting list. Please note that we receive way more applications than spots available, so we can not guarantee we will be able to help every applicant who submits an application.
Once you are part of our waiting list, we will contact you by email or phone to arrange a meeting to go over RO program details and check if we could work together!
Please check your spam especially if you have a “Hotmail” or “Outlook” account. If you are currently in Canada, please make sure you provide a correct contact phone number, as we might call you if we can not reach you over email.
Once our team reaches out to you, we will give you a window of time to respond to us booking a call together, if we don’t hear from you, we will continue contacting participants and we will disregard your application.
Submitting an application form only means that you have joined our waiting list for the IEC 2025 Season. You have NOT yet secured a spot under our RO Quota.
We want to meet you in person! This is a free meeting with our awesome team. Our main goal is to make sure that you have all the necessary information to be part of our RO program, so you can decide if the program is for you, but also for us to make sure we can work together and we can help you towards your goals! Sometimes, we can not help! We want to make sure we are aligned before asking you to pay the fee!
After the meeting, if you are accepted into the program, we will send you a confirmation email with instructions to register and move forward with us.
Once you are officially accepted into our RO program, we will send you instructions for registration and payment, and you will be ready to start working with our team to prepare for when IEC 2025 opens.
IMPORTANT – Registered participants will not be able to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) until the IEC 2025 Season opens – but no worries, we pride ourselves on being super communicative with our registered participants, so you will know exactly what steps come after the other, as you will be assigned one of our fantastic Travel Coordinators to work with!
Check out the FAQ section on our Recognized Organization page. Here, we have listed the commonly asked questions with updated information, which we think will be helpful!
Remember, we will only consider new applications submitted following the steps above for RO 2025 Season. No previous application submitted before our opening date for our waiting list will be considered.
If you requested information in the past or if you received an answer from our team, this does NOT mean you will be placed on our waiting list. You MUST submit a brand new and complete application after we open our new Waiting List!
After we reach our quota, we will still maintain our waiting list for any potential changes during IEC 2025 Season. We can not guarantee how long it will take for us to connect with you, or if we will be even able to connect or help you, but if you are interested, join our waiting list! It is free!
We wish everyone a great IEC 2025 season!
