Why no Young Professionals scheme for British Citizens?

Out of the 33 countries that have a youth mobility agreement with Canada, why is the UK the only country that does not have access to the Young Professionals Program? Seems a little unfair.

1. No, it isn't unfair, as the UK doesn't have a Young Professional Program for Canadians. It only has the Youth Mobility Program which is similar to IEC for UK citizens in Canada.

Not sure where you got those numbers from. Have you taken a look at other countries? Italy allows one six month participation with no Young Professionals. Japan has one 12 month participation with no Young Professionals. South Korea, Belgium, Denmark, etc. are all similar.

As PMM explained, the programs are reciprocal.
