Canada-Ukraine Youth Mobility Agreement Begins

Winnipeg, March 31, 2011- (UCC) The Ukrainian Canadian Congress is pleased to inform Canadians that the International Experience Canada Ukraine program begins accepting applications starting on April 4, 2011. This program is a result of a bilateral arrangement between the Government of Canada and the Government of Ukraine, and will allow up to 200 Ukrainian citizens between the ages of 18-35 to apply for a temporary work permit to travel and work in Canada for up to one year.  Similar opportunities exist for young Canadians who wish to work or study in Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian community in Canada is very pleased to see the doors opened to citizens of Ukraine allowing them to experience our great Canadian culture, and I believe both countries will have long term benefits from this information and cultural exchange program,” stated UCC President Paul Grod.
