IEC Young Professional Employment section

Hello. Thank you in advanced for any advice you can offer.

I am a Spanish citizen that is applying for the International Experience Canada Young Professional Program. Due to the grave financial situation in Spain, once I graduated, I haven´t had any luck finding a job in my field. Thus, I do not have any work experience to put down on the IMM1295 application under the employment section.

However, when I try to type N/A in the blanks that require information in order to validate the form I get a message saying that it is an invalid answer.

Am I ineligible to apply for the program if I do not have any work experience? Should I put down my internship experience as employment? I have always helped my father out in his business but was never actually employed by him. Does any of this count?

Thank you.

Are you a Barcelona or Real Madrid fan?

1. To apply under Young Professionals you need a pre arranged job. Thats why it won't work.
2. You should probably be applying under Working Holiday http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/spain-espagne/experience_canada_experience/working_holiday-vacances_travail.aspx?view=d

I do have a pre arranged job in Canada.

I'm just not quite sure how to validate the imm 1295 without putting down any job experience.
Thank you

If I were you I'd email IEC and ask for their opinion. Since work experience is not a requirement it should
be possible to find a work-around. Go to your countries IEC website and find the 'Contact Us' link. Just email
them. And it'd be nice if you could let us know the outcome.
