Volontariat International en Entreprise (V.I.E): a unique experience at Audensiel Canada!

5.02.25 | Candidate experience

We are convinced that international experience is a springboard for both professional and personal growth. We currently count no less than 15 different nationalities among our Audacieux-ses (the nickname of our employees😉), and every year, new V.I.Es come to enrich our cosmopolitanism! That’s why we’re introducing you to the Volontariat International en Entreprise (V.I.E), an experience that could give you the chance to live an unforgettable adventure abroad… with us!

What is the V.I.E?

The V.I.E is an expatriation contract offered by Business France, the national organization serving the internationalization of the French economy. It supports companies and candidates in their international projects. It’s a privilege you can take advantage of once in your career, allowing you to carry out a professional assignment abroad for 6 to 24 months. Read on, and we’ll tell you why you’ll love this experience! (Go to section 3 to find out about the concrete benefits you can enjoy with us! 😉!)

Who is eligible for V.I.E? Eligibility requirements 📢

To be eligible for the V.I.E program with Audensiel Canada, you must meet the conditions set by Business France, including the following: Be between the ages of 18 and 28 (28 maximum at the start of your assignment, which will take place on the 1st of the month). – Be a French national or citizen of a European Economic Area country. – Have a clean criminal record. – Be fully committed to devoting 100% of your time to the V.I.E. assignment, with no paid activity in parallel. – Be medically fit to carry out your mission. You can find out more about eligibility requirements on the Business France website: https://mon-vie-via.businessfrance.fr/conditions-vie A real commitment, you say? 🤯 It’s true, you’re starting a new life in another country! But the good news is that if you do it with Audensiel Canada, you’ll be able to take off with peace of mind, because you’ll benefit from a list of attractive advantages and more than attentive support.

The advantages of a V.I.E with Audensiel Canada

As a V.I.E. at Audensiel Canada, you’ll benefit from 100% support and guidance from our teams before, during and after your arrival, in addition to many other advantages. Let’s take a look at the 10 key benefits of doing a V.I.E. with us! 1. A competitive net monthly allowance in euros (adapted to the country where you’ll be posted – in the case of Montreal, it’s equivalent to around 2,400 euros net in 2025). 2. As an added bonus, Audensiel provides you with a monthly housing allowance of several hundred euros to help pay for your accommodation in your host country. A benefit that not all companies offer! 3. Totally tax-free compensation for the duration of your V.I.E. assignment. 4. 30 days paid vacation + 8 public holidays guaranteed in your host country. A generous vacation plan, similar to France’s, and much better than most local contracts in North America! 5. Comprehensive health insurance, guaranteeing your well-being and safety throughout your assignment. 6. Immigration support: Don’t worry, Audensiel Canada will take care of all the immigration formalities for you, in collaboration with Business France. You can count on us for full support throughout the process. 7. A differentiating international professional experience, perfectly suited to the mindset of a young professional eager for adventure (like you?) 8. Various competitive advantages that characterize us: innovation (intrapreneurial spirit), regular follow-up of our consultants, cultural diversity and benevolence, in a work environment that’s both fun and serious ( our key value, are you in tune?).😉). 9. The opportunity to contribute to stimulating projects (around our various IT expertises: Development, Agility, Data, Cybersecurity…), while developing your skills (softskills and hardskills) and your professional network. 10. Develop your professional and personal network by taking part in plenty of relevant events with us (conferences, trade shows, meetups, 5 à 7s…). In short, it’s one heck of a boost for your career and your life! If you have any further questions on specific topics such as contracts, remuneration, travel, taxes or anything else, don’t hesitate to take a look at the Business France FAQ.

Our vision of V.I.E with you, at Audensiel Canada

What’s more, it’s also a real springboard for your career, as we encourage you to build a long-term relationship with a potential permanent contract at the end of your assignment! 💥 Good to know: we’ll soon be publishing testimonials from current and former V.I.E.s to give you a concrete idea of what it’s like to be a Bold One.
