Ireland

Young people from certain countries (see below) can apply for a working holiday authorisation to come to Ireland for up to 1 year (up to 2 years for Canadians). Ireland’s working holiday agreements with other governments allow young people of both countries to fund an extended holiday through temporary work.

The International Co-op Internship Authorisation, valid for one year, is for students who intend to complete a paid work placement or internship in Ireland. It is open to Canadian citizens aged 18-35 who are registered students at post-secondary institutions.
