Ilnicki made his debut for Canada in 2013 and was part of the Canada squad at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
In early 2016, Ilnicki was signed to the San Diego Breakers PRO Rugby team.
In December 2016, Ilnicki joined Aviva Premiership side Northampton Saints. The tight head prop made his first appearance in a Saints shirt during their Aviva 'A' League fixture against Leicester Tigers a few days after signing for the club.
Despite not making any first team appearances while with Saints, the Canadian prop helped Saints' second team the Northampton Wanderers reach the final of the Aviva 'A' League and eventually beat Gloucester United to lift the 2016/17 trophy.
It was announced recently that Ilnicki would leave Saints at the conclusion of the 2016/17 season.
