Can I migrate to Canada via Italy holiday visa?

Yes, if you are an Italian citizen, you can apply for a Canadian Working Holiday visa through the International Experience Canada (IEC) program. This visa allows you to live and work in Canada temporarily, usually for up to 12 months.

To qualify, you must meet eligibility requirements such as age limits (generally 18 to 35 years old for Italy), having sufficient funds to support yourself at the start, holding valid health insurance for your stay, and not having dependents accompany you. The program operates on a quota system, so places are limited and allocated through a pool and invitation process.

While the Working Holiday visa allows you to gain Canadian work experience, it does not directly grant permanent residency. However, the Canadian work experience you gain can improve your eligibility for immigration programs such as Express Entry under the Canadian Experience Class, which can lead to permanent residency if you meet the criteria.
