youth mobility agreement

Canadian Government announced a new Youth Mobility Agreement with Iceland

On August 4, 2023, the Canadian Government announced a new Youth Mobility Agreement with Iceland, allowing Canadian and Icelandic youth aged 18 to 30 to work and travel in each other’s country for up to 12 months.  The governments of Canada and Iceland will implement the new arrangement in 2024 after meeting all requirements. The new arrangement strengthens the ties between the two countries while providing Canadian youth with more international travel and work options.  It also helps develop life skills, improves future job prospects, and invests in the potential of their youth, leading to a stronger, more interconnected global community. A large number of Icelandic immigrants and their descendants outside of Iceland reside in Canada. 101,990 people with Icelandic ancestry live in Canada, according to the 2021 Census.  Up to 120 youths per year from Canada and Iceland will be able to work and visit each other’s countries according to the agreement between the two nations.   Marie-France Lalonde, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship stated: “Youth mobility arrangements are all about assisting our youth—their goals, interests, and potential to impact the globe.” With this wonderful arrangement in place, we are opening the way for them to connect, develop, and grow alongside one another, forming friendships and creating lifelong memories. In addition to providing Canadian employers with a larger and more diversified talent pool, together we are creating a world where our youth can get essential life skills and experiences.” The Honourable Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Iceland stated: “We are signing a youth mobility agreement with Canada here in Manitoba, and Iceland is extremely happy to do so. Youth from Iceland and Canada will have the chance to work and travel in each other’s countries due to this arrangement, discovering different cultures while also advancing their life skills and professional chances.”   What is the youth mobility agreement? More than 38 countries and territories have bilateral youth mobility agreements with Canada.
