The International Youth Travel Card (IYTC) is the essential travel card designed especially for youth who are under the age of 26, but not full-time students. Since the card's establishment in 1975, over 300,000 youth a year have benefited from IYTC's great savings. The IYTC offers hundreds of dollars in savings on travel, accommodation, sports rentals, and admissions to museums and cultural attractions. Simply flash your card when travelling and you'll receive these special discounts.

Eligibility:
Youth residing in Canada who are under the age of 26, but not full-time students..

The IYTC is valid for one year from the date of issue.

Where Do I Get an IYTC?
It's easy! IYTCs are available at all Travel CUTS offices or by mail. If applying by mail, please allow 3 weeks for processing.

To obtain an IYTC you will need to provide:
• A completed IYTC application. Click here for a PDF version.
• A photograph of yourself (head shot) that measures 1.25" x 1.5" (30 x 36mm) and is printed on photo-quality paper.
• Proof of your age:
  › A photocopy of your passport; OR
  › A photocopy of your birth certificate; OR

PLEASE NOTE: If you purchase a Travel CUTS special fare that requires an IYTC, you will need your IYTC at the time of boarding your flight. If you don't have your IYTC with you, the airline may deny you boarding. If you are eligible, you can still book a youth fare even if you don't yet have the IYTC; however, you must obtain and have in your possession an IYTC within 48 hours of your booking.
