Canada Immigration Options for People Under Age 30
As you probably know, immigration to Canada is restricted to a handful of occupations. One way around this is to acquire experience working in Canada at an appropriate job.
If you are without dependents and under age 30 (and in some cases, even over 30), you may qualify for an international youth exchange that will allow you to work in Canada from 6 months to two years depending on the country you are in.
You can usually work in any occupation you like, however, if you plan on immigrating permanently in the future, it would be crucial to work in a technical or management occupation in NOC A, B or O.
The following countries have youth exchange agreements with Canada:
Argentina
Armenia
Australia
Austria
Belarus
Belgium
Brazil
Chile
Costa Rica
Czech Republic
Denmark
Dominian Republic
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland

Poland
Russia
Slovak Republic
South Africa
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States
There are also exchange programs with various international organizations such as AIESEC and IAESTE and others.
Each program has different qualifications, so check to see if any of these programs work for you.
