Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

+Real money and real travel to the participant: an all-expenses-paid trip to Ottawa for the first meeting, plus a monetary honorarium
+Eligibility is written so a young person can self-assess: 18 to 29, living in Canada, either three or more years into post-secondary study or graduated within the last five years
+Commitment is quantified rather than vague: a 12-month term and six virtual meetings
+Explicitly lowers the bar for underrepresented applicants, naming rural and remote communities, Indigenous youth, racialized youth, newcomers, women and gender-diverse people
+Credible backing: ICTC is a national non-profit and the initiative is funded through the Government of Canada's Student Work Placement Program

Worth checking yourself

!THIS ROUND IS CLOSED. Applications are not currently open and no new date has been published by the organisation. Do not plan around this listing until it is confirmed reopened.
!The application window closed 20 February 2026 and the form itself now says so. The record showing Rolling is actively misleading
!Even when open the intake was not national: it was restricted to Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and the three territories, despite the page describing ambassadors from across Canada. Any future record must carry this restriction
!The honorarium amount is not published anywhere
!Canada only and 18 to 29, so it sits above LOT's youngest audience
!Explicit exclusion buried in the eligibility text: current federal government employees are ineligible
