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
Working holiday programmes enable travellers to travel to one of the participating programme countries and have the option of engaging in short-term work to supplement their travel expenses. This programme is ideal for non-students who want to supplement their travel experiences with some temporary work in the country of choice.
