Working Holiday Program in Canada
There are Temporarily Employment Programs for people
aged 18 - 30 and who are citizens of the following countries: Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Republic of Korea,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and United Kingdom. The maximum validity of an
employment authorization issued under this program is usually 12 months. The
additional requirements vary from country to country.
Workpermit.com does not handle Working Holiday Visas,
therefore please contact your local Canadian Embassy or Consulate, in order to
find out more about these visas. This type of visa is relatively easy to obtain
if you meet the age requirement and that year’s quota for your country has not
been met
In some countries such as Finland, UK and Ireland for
example, you also need to be a full-time student to qualify for this program.
See additional information for the citizens of UK and Ireland below:
