Application process
Although DFAIT provides the framework under which participants can obtain legal work opportunities in foreign countries, participants must be able to: -Choose the country -Land a job in that country -Apply for a visa -Arrange transportation -Find a place to stay -Cover day-to-day expenses Please note: Some programs offer more help than others. In some cases, other fees may be required. Once participants have determined that they are up for the challenge, and have an idea of the country that they would like to visit, the next step is to contact the Embassy in that country to get an application form. In order to complete the application, participants must have: -A valid Canadian passport -A round-trip airline ticket -A reasonable amount of money Canadian citizenship required.
These programmes allow Canadian participants to gain professional work experience through overseas training. Participants have the opportunity to acquire new skills while gaining a better appreciation of the culture and values of their host country. Non-students whose primary goal is to gain work experience in a foreign culture should consider this programme.
