He served in the diplomatic corps of the Polish Republic and during World War II was an officer in the Polish Army. In 1948, he immigrated to Canada. Iwaniuk is one of the most outstanding Polish poets and writers outside Poland. Among his works are a long poem, Purpurowy rejs (Purple Trip) and several books of poetry: Czas Don Kichota (Time of Don Quixote), 1946; Dni biale i dni czerwone (Red and White Days), 1947; Piesn nad piesniami (Song of Songs), 1953; Milczenia (Stillness), 1959; Wybor wierszy (Selected Poems), 1964; Ciemny Czas (The Dark Times), 1968; and Lustro (The Mirror), 1971.

Iwaniuk has translated some of his own works into English and the works of various American and English poets into Polish. In addition, he is a literary critic and essayist for various Polish newspapers in Canada and abroad. Iwaniuk is a member of several international literary societies and writers unions, and in 1966 helped found a group of poets and writers in Toronto.
