    All help and advice appreciated!!!
    Myself and my husband have applied for IEC visas. We are wondering what kind of visa do we need for our kids? We have a 7 year old & a 5 year old.
    Need help please!

    Assuming you all have Irish passports then your kids will get visitor records for free at the border. This will also allow them to attend school (though some school districts require at least one parent to be employed).

    Thanks for that. So we just have to buy insurance & their flight ticket. Would you also know if we can apply for permanent residency on a IEC?
    Thank you

    Yep insurance and flight ticket is all that should be needed. You can apply for PR while in Canada on an IEC. But it doesn't give you any advantage unless you have more than one year's skilled experience in Canada on this permit.
