DECLARATION FORM

(It is mandatory that you tick each of the boxes below.)

Before entering Canada, I will have and retain comprehensive travel medical insurance that will

cover the entire period of my intended stay in Canada. I acknowledge that I am fully responsible forcovering any medical expenses I may incur during my stay in Canada as a result of injury or illness. Iacknowledge that ifI dont have medical insurance at any time during my stay in Canada I will nolonger be eligible to participate in the International Experience Canada (IEC) initiative, and neither theGovernment of Canada nor the provincial or territorial government in the Canadian province orterritory in which I am staying can be held accountable for my medical fees and expenses.

I acknowledge that my dependent(s) (i.e., spouse/common-law partner/child/children) may NOTenter and reside in Canada by virtue of my IEC application/participation. My dependent(s) mustsubmit a separate application to enter and reside in Canada; for example, as an IEC initiativeparticipant, visitor, student or worker. (If you do not have any dependents, instead of ticking the box,please write N/A (Non Applicable) over it, by hand.) For more information, please consult the

Common-law Partners/Spouses section of this FAQ(http://www.international.gc.ca/canada-europa/france/jeunesse-youth/faq-en.asp).

I acknowledge that within the framework of the IEC initiative, I am not permitted to have two validpermits at the same time (work permit and/or study permit).

I acknowledge that if I am accepted to the IEC initiative and am issued a Letter of Introduction,but do not participate in the IEC initiative during the period for which the letter is valid, the issuance ofthe Letter will count as a participation and I will therefore not be allowed to re-apply to the IECinitiative in this category, unless multiple participations in the same category are allowed according tothe terms of the Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding between Canada and my country. Ialso acknowledge that I will not be refunded the participation fee that I paid to the IEC initiative.

I acknowledge that it is the policy of the IEC initiative to deal only with the candidate and that,consequently, at no time will the follow-up of my file be discussed with a third party (i.e.: parents,lawyers, consultants, travel agencies, etc. ). I acknowledge that I, myself, must send my ownapplication package. I also acknowledge, however, that it is possible for a third party to advise meand help me fill in my IEC application form before I send it. If I receive advice or help from a thirdparty, I acknowledge that I am nevertheless responsible for all of the information contained in my IECapplication package.

I will enter Canada with a return or departure ticket, or with sufficient funds to purchase a returnticket at the beginning of my stay in Canada.

I intend to leave Canada before the expiry of my passport, before the expiry of my work permit, orbefore the expiry of my health care insurance, whichever comes first.

I solemnly declare that I have completed the IEC application and Declaration forms accuratelyand truthfully to the best of my knowledge, and I have not misrepresented myself in any way. Iacknowledge that if I have knowingly or unknowingly falsely represented myself, my IEC applicationpackage will not be accepted, and I will not be reimbursed the participation fee that I paid to the IECinitiative.
