Working Holiday Canada
If you’re interested in working or studying in Canada, a Working Holiday Visa is the easiest, most convenient visa status you can have. The only limitations are that it expires after a year, and it is non-renewable, so you’ll need to plan your working holiday accordingly.
Work placement details
The working holiday placements are available all over Canada, but mostly Vancouver, Toronto and Whistler. All placements are arranged before the student arrives in Canada. Students are able to choose their work location, and there are a variety of jobs to choose from in each location.
