Work in Canada

Get ready for big chills. Live and work for up to two years in Canada with visa application support, a pre-arranged ski season job and awesome new friends on our Work Canada program.

Why do a working holiday in Canada?

Canada has become a go-to destination for working holidaymakers who want year-round adventures, liveable cities and decent salaries. Aside from the fact that the national dish is fries covered in cheese and gravy (enough said), Canada offers the perfect work-life balance. Surf in the morning before work, hit the slopes at night after work, and spend your weekends exploring mountains, beaches and lakes.

Now here’s the best bit. You can do all of that on a working holiday visa until you’re 35 –because Canada is just cool like that. And on our Ultimate Canada option, we hook you up with a 4-6 month ski season or summer resort job before you go – because we’re just a bit cool like that.

Age is just a number

Life doesn’t stop at 30, and neither should your Canadian adventures. We have access to a range of visas so that you can live and work in Canada, even if you’ve passed the big three-oh.

Job envy is real

Work as a lift attendant in Whistler, as a server in the Blue Mountains or as front of house in Lake Louise. Start your Canada working holiday with the security of knowing you have a job lined up.
