Work and Travel in Canada

Help us grow. share what you know about getting work in canada for travellers., volunteer and paid work opportunities in canada for travellers.

Canada sits close to the top of the world and is the second largest nation in the world. With cosmopolitan cities, incredible nature, and friendly people, it’s no surprise that a lot of people want to travel in Canada. But this is a first world country and it’s expensive to stay here, which is why work and travel in Canada is a fantastic option for people who want to dig beneath the surface of this country. The travel guides for Canada cover a great deal. But what they don’t cover is the array of volunteer opportunities in Canada. We’re going to cover some of the fantastic opportunities open to you in Canada. 1. Work on the Ski Slopes of the Canadian Rockies One of the most popular volunteering opportunities in Canada is to head to the Rockies in Alberta and to work on the ski slopes there. A huge number of Australians on working holiday visas choose this as their destination through the cold, snowy months. And even those who don’t work directly on the ski slopes will still find plenty of bar work in the area. Banff is one of the hubs of the skiing industry in Canada. 2. Teach Children How to Ride Horses Horse riding is a summer camp activity with a big following. Consider going over to Ontario during the summer and teach children how to ride horses upon the vast green plains. Even if you don’t have any prior experience riding horses, summer camps are always looking for staff who can help out with safety and keeping the kids entertained. You usually don’t need any prior experience or any qualifications to take on work at a summer camp. 3. Working in Hostels Unlike the US, Canada does have a booming backpacking community. Hostels have sprung up across both the Eastern and Western provinces of the country. Offer your services volunteering in a hostel and get free accommodation. You may sometimes be paid a small amount or receive food. The work is relatively easy, with the majority of roles being restricted to cleaning and reception work.

VOLUNTEER WORK VISA / PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR CANADA

Canada is a first world country and has one of the strongest border control regimes in the world. Thankfully, for EU citizens, Americans, and Mexicans you only need an onward flight and you’ll be given a visa varying from three months to six months. The majority of Western countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea, will be allotted the full six months, however. Take note that US citizens are no longer able to cross the border with just a birth certificate or a driving license. All US citizens must now have a valid passport. For Russian, South African, and Chinese citizens they have to apply for a formal visa. The working holiday visa of Canada is known as the International Experience Canada programme. Only a certain number are allocated every year, but they’re still not particularly difficult to receive. The majority of countries eligible for this visa are EU countries, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as some of the first world Asian countries. The United States of America doesn’t have access to this programme. Generally, visas allow you to work and live in Canada for up to a year. Some countries, such as New Zealand, do have the option of staying past the one-year mark because of other working holiday agreements with those countries. Bear in mind that you will need to apply well in advance for the working holiday visa and you’ll be expected to either have a position established or proof of a certain amount of money/income.

SEASONAL BACKPACKER SKILLS NEEDED IN CANADA

Spring work.

Spring time in Canada marks the end of the winter time and the opening up of many tourist routes again. For example, the cruise ports in Vancouver begin offering work at this time of year. You may even be able to start certain conservation programmes throughout the northern part of the country.

SUMMER JOBS

Summer time is about the time you want to start looking into volunteering within summer camps. These are positioned throughout the whole country and are available in both rural and urban locations. The bulk of these camps are located in the east of the country, especially on the coast and in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. However, you should make sure to apply for these positions well in advance. There are some short-term positions available, but it’s unwise to bank on these being available.

The autumn period will see more conservation programmes, but this is the time to start looking into bar and restaurant work. Tourist numbers are still high and competition for places is much lower. The major cities of Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal offer the highest chances of you finding work.

Winter time is the time to start hitting the ski slopes. There are ski slopes all over the country, but we recommend looking into Alberta and the Canadian Rockies. Most of the skiing industry here is centred on the picturesque town of Banff, where the slopes are mere minutes away with good public transport connections. You may also want to look into nearby Lake Louise and some of the other national parks in the area. There’s lots of seasonal winter work in the bars, restaurants, and hotels at this time of year.

ATTITUDE TO FOREIGNERS WORKING OR VOLUNTEERING IN CANADA

Work and travel in Canada is a long standing tradition. Canada is also an extremely cosmopolitan country, with Toronto having the most diverse mix of expats in the world. Many young Canadians work and travel in other countries and so it’s no surprise for the locals to see young travellers doing the same. Canada has an extremely advanced working holiday programme and many businesses across the country rely on these volunteers and paid workers to help with business for just a few months of the year. You won’t have any issues living and working in Canada!

How it works, working holiday in canada (plus).

High demand. 500 + views in just the last 24 hours! Book soon to avoid losing your place.

Towering, snow-packed mountains, shimmering, impossibly-blue glacier lakes, framed by wild forests, wildlife and rugged coastlines… Canada is a land of stunning scenery and contrast.

And you can live and work in Canada for up to 2 years on a Working Holiday! 

You could wing it and try to do everything yourself. Sure, some people do, but more often than not, it’ll be confusing, expensive, anxiety-inducing and time-consuming heading to a land unknown for the first time.

This is an experience you’ll likely only do once, and the last thing you'd want is to be returning home with your tail between your legs just after you had your going away party (& blown all your savings).

But, luckily, we've been working on the solution since 2008 that close to 90,000 others before you have chosen, as the world's leaders in working holidays. What if you could instead:

  • With our  Money-Back Guarantee in place, receive a Canadian Job Match before you even arrive* – year-round & all-done virtually from home (with no job fairs to travel to & compete at, unlike our competitors).
  • Land a job almost anywhere , from  summer  &  winter ski resorts to lakeside lodges, with the largest network of partner companies loaded with perks like free or discounted ski passes & lessons, staff accommodation, food & beverage & more!
  • Keep the adventure going with a second country job match included in another destination for the ultimate work & travel experience around the globe!
  • Meet others before you go   through our exclusive app . Join Global Traveller side-trips & meet-up events too.
  • Save time, money, and stress with your own dedicated Trip Coordinator .
  • Get help with  flights, travel insurance, accommodation, visa applications  & more.

The ultimate way to have a hassle-free working holiday. Working to live (and not living to work), meeting other travellers, waking up every day to a new adventure, and making everyone back home severely jealous of all your stories.

Land in Canada prepared & excited, not anxious and scared - life’s too short for that.

For a similar trip with the essentials only, check out this Working Holiday in Canada package. Keep a very careful eye on dates though, as capacity for both these trips are limited.

  • Be between 18 - 35 years of age
  • Be a citizen of an eligible country
  • Have no criminal convictions in the past 5 years

Can you picture it? You’re living in a beautiful Canadian mountain resort, equipped with a full-time job & staff housing only a minute's walk from the chairlift. Your day starts out cruising down the slopes atop that famous rocky mountain powdery snow. Or if it’s summertime, you shake the morning cobwebs off with a cool dip in a local freshwater lake. Then it’s off to your job, working alongside all your new international besties, without a worry in the world.

All this sorted without potentially spending over a month or longer hunting for a job in a foreign country with no income and your savings dwindling by the hour!

Get a job sorted before you land with our Guaranteed Job Match Pre-Arrival*, the ultimate way to explore another country without having to chew through your savings like most people who decide to wing it generally do.

Our robust trip planning process, perfected after serving tens of thousands of Global Travellers since 2008, includes visa guidance and a virtual interview you can do from the comfort of home.

Our team will be in your corner to answer any questions you or your family may have too, so you can exchange most of those nerves with pure excitement about the adventure of a lifetime ahead.

Accommodation? We can help with that as well. Your first 4 nights are covered at a top-rated hostel in the heart of downtown Vancouver. After that, most jobs provide staff housing at a really low rate (but these ones can go quick).

If your job doesn’t, our team will provide you all the guidance and tips you need to find something suitable - yet another reason why going with Global means you get the best of the best with access to a local team and office in Vancouver (unlike our competitors).

As for the solo traveller side of things, you’ll have an instant friend group wherever you end up, too – even if you land a job in a tiny town with a funny name like Calabogie or Moose Jaw. How? 

Because our social network app – gWorld – connects you with other Global Travellers in your area. So you can go on a hike, meet at the pub, talk to someone with the same accent as you.

We take care of pretty much everything so you don’t have to. 

And when it’s time for a change of scenery during or after your initial job, book a short and cheap flight to a place with sun-filled beaches, cheap tacos and cold beer. Or better yet - hop on an exclusive Global Getaway alongside other Global Travellers to a bucket-list location!

And lucky you – you’re earning more than enough in full-time positions where you get 100% of your earnings (unlike some recruitment agencies), with Canada paying around C$15 - $25/hr or more, to thrive and still have some left over for spontaneous trips or general shenanigans. 

As you embark on this side trip, you can rest assured knowing that the thrill of exploration won't be dampened by worries of your adventure overseas coming to an end. Why?

Because you've shared your aspirations with your dedicated Trip Coordinator, expressing your desire to pursue your included second country job match, in a fresh and captivating corner of the globe. We know that after this first experience you probably won’t want to go home just yet, so with your newfound work & travel confidence and know-how, head somewhere new to keep on exploring.

Our team springs into action, mapping out the vast possibilities across borders. Will your next endeavor lead you to working at a cozy pub in the English countryside? Perhaps as an English Tutor for a summer in Tuscany? You decide. All backed up with our support and app. Work, travel, rinse & repeat!

BUT! There’s a catch….

Most travellers book their trip 6-12 months in advance, or more! Dates are flexible, but spaces are limited, and intakes are closing off regularly without much notice. So if you’re serious about living in Canada, check dates & prices now to get things started before you’re too late, or too old.

With our Book Now, Decide Later option, you can get started with a small deposit today, and take up to a full year to choose your dates. 

We’ll take over from there, helping you with visas, flights, accommodation, and matching you with a job opportunity before you go*. 

If you’re after the ultimate, and the best, working holiday to Canada out there, complete with everything you need and 24/7 worldwide support, click the red box and follow the quick & easy steps to secure your spot. You, your parents and your bank account should thank us later.

If you’re looking for less, but still want to travel with the best, check out our other Working Holiday in Canada package too (but this one is our best & most popular).

Requirements

To qualify for this trip you must meet the visa requirements , and have 6 months of paid work experience by time of arrival.

What extra costs will I have?

Flights, travel insurance, visa, criminal background check, souvenirs & spending money.

Your Working Holiday in Canada (Plus) trip is designed to help you find local, seasonal employment as a means to fund your travels further, and for cultural exchange. Our goal is to save you time, money, and stress while eliminating the risk of returning home early. Here’s how we do it:

Before you leave

Day 3 & 4.

We’re on your side from the moment you get started. You’ll be assigned a dedicated Trip Coordinator. They’ll guide you through the next steps and answer all your questions. They’ll also help you with the pesky visa. No guesswork – only the right paperwork, approved the first time, and in your hands well before you leave. 

Your personal Travel Concierge will help with flights, insurance, and any add-ons you’d like for your trip. These are real humans too – no robots here. 

Most travellers have their job match before they’ve left home. If you haven’t had yours within 4 days of arriving, we’ll extend your accommodation for free until you do. And if you’re not successful with your first interview - no biggy! We’ll just keep trying (*see TCs for details).

We also proudly boast the most and best reviews in the biz, and maintain a massive following on our social channels including Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Embark on your next adventure with confidence and ease. Join us and discover the world in a meaningful way!

While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

When it comes to accommodation, we have some great options available for you. Many of our partner organisations offer staff accommodation as a fantastic perk. This usually entails a shared apartment or house with other like-minded travelers, conveniently located near your job. The best part is that these accommodations are often available at a subsidised rate, allowing you to save more toward side trips and fun! In the event that staff accommodation is not included with your job match, don't worry. Your Arrival Coordinator will be there to provide you with valuable resources and helpful tips on finding a suitable place to stay.

The Standard and Plus Working Holiday trips offer similar features, such as our comprehensive job matching process. However, there are a couple key differences between the two: Standard: With the Standard trip, you will receive a guaranteed job match prior to your arrival*. Plus: The Plus trip includes a guaranteed job match prior to your arrival*, just like the Standard trip. In addition, it offers the unique benefit of a 2nd job match in an entirely new country! This includes any Working Holiday, Au Pair or Tutor trip we offer, except USA, Germany & South Korea. Visa guidance will also be provided, TCs apply. Along with this, the Plus trip also provides additional tours and a side trip to enhance your experience. If you like the idea of working and travelling in more than one country, the Plus option is best suited for you. It provides the opportunity for ongoing exploration and variety during your time abroad. No need to make a decision right away on which option to choose. If you initially book the Standard trip, you can always upgrade to the Plus trip after getting registered and connecting with your dedicated Trip Coordinator.

While we strive to take your preferences into account, it's important to note that we are not a recruitment agency. Therefore, we cannot guarantee job matches in specific professions, fields, or locations. As a foreign worker on a temporary visa, it can be challenging to compete with locals for more specialised positions. Employers often prioritise candidates they can train and retain in the long term, rather than taking a risk on someone who may leave in a year or two, or less. However, the jobs we help organise on your working holiday will offer a fantastic experience. They will be enjoyable and social, allowing you to make new friends, acquire new skills, and have the freedom to explore exciting new places. Our aim is to provide you with an amazing working holiday experience, where you can embrace adventure and create unforgettable memories.

A job match is a seamless process designed to help you secure a suitable job opportunity. Here's how it works: First, we arrange an interview for you, taking into consideration your preferences whenever possible. The interviews are typically conducted virtually over platforms like Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime, making it convenient for you to participate from the comfort of your home before you embark on your trip. The key to a successful job match is simple: attend the interview on time and approach it just like any other professional interview. By demonstrating professionalism and enthusiasm, you'll increase your chances of securing a job offer without any complications. In the unlikely chance you are unsuccessful with your initial interview, our team will get to work organising you another interview. You can rest assured we are committed to finding the right opportunity for you and guiding you through each and every step of the job matching process to ensure success. For more details, please refer to your booking conditions.

Absolutely! While the jobs we help you land usually provide full-time hours, they often come with flexibility that will allow you to take time off for side trips, exploring, and fun. We understand the importance of travel experiences, and our aim is to provide opportunities that balance work and leisure. While the level of flexibility can vary based on the specific job and employer, we strive to match you with positions that provide allowances or arrangements for time off. This way, you can plan and enjoy additional adventures before, during, or after your work placement!

Ever since our inception in 2008, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional job opportunities to our travellers. We take pride in having built the largest network of partner organisations across the country, all vetted and perfectly suited to host a working holidayer. One of the greatest advantages of going Global is that we streamline the entire process for you, meaning, you won't need to go through the hassle of attending job fairs (like our competitors make you do) or spending countless hours job hunting. We take care of the hard work by understanding your job and location preferences, then connect you with one of our awesome partner organisations. We then ensure you are well-prepared for the interview, to help you land a job before you leave home*. To explore all the amazing options available, we invite you to check out our Working Holiday jobs & locations section located above.

The benefits of doing a Working Holiday trip are numerous. It offers you the opportunity to experience a new country, immerse yourself in a different culture, gain international work experience, develop new skills, make lifelong connections, and create unforgettable memories. It is a chance to combine travel and work while exploring a new destination.

We provide comprehensive support throughout your Working Holiday trip, from the initial planning stages until your return home. Our team is available to assist you with visa applications, job placements, accommodation options, and ongoing support from our worldwide offices while you are overseas, including a 24/5 emergency line. We also provide pre-departure guidance and resources to help you prepare for your adventure.

Absolutely! While the earning potential may vary based on your destination and job type, the income you'll receive is more than sufficient to support you comfortably while abroad. It can cover all your living expenses, accommodation, transportation, and even allows for savings to explore your new home or continue travelling afterward. Additionally, many of our partner organisations offer fantastic perks like discounted staff housing, food and beverage, ski passes, and more, helping you save money and make the most of your Working Holiday experience.

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.

What is the IEC program in Canada?

The IEC (International Experience Canada) program is a Canadian government initiative allowing international youth from participating countries to work and travel in Canada for up to two years (depending on your country).

There are several different experiences available, including working holiday , young professional and international co-op internships . Check out each program page to learn more!

Who is eligible for IEC Canada?

This depends on the IEC category you’re interested in and your nationality, as each participating country will have a different agreement with the Canadian government. For more information, see the individual requirements for each program:

  • Working Holiday IEC requirements
  • Internship IEC requirements
  • IEC Recognized Organization (RO) requirements

How do I get an IEC visa for Canada?

To get an IEC visa for Canada, you will need to follow these steps:

  • Check to see if you are eligible to apply for the IEC visa category.
  • Create a profile on the IEC website portal and enter the visa pool.
  • Wait for your invitation to apply (ITA).
  • Apply for the IEC visa, including submitting all the required documents and fees.
  • Provide biometrics, if required.
  • Get approved! The Canadian government will send you a POE (Port of Entry) letter, which you will use to activate your visa upon arrival into Canada – remember, you have 12 months to enter Canada!

As a Recognized Organization by the Government of Canada, we know the visa application process like the back of our hand. In fact, we’ve helped participants from 37 countries work and travel in Canada! Interested in learning more? Start planning here .

Or carve your own path with jobs related to your trade or profession. Plus, you can work this visa until you’re 35.

Work Canada | $1,349

We provide the working holiday visa application help, pre-arranged job and arrival support you need to spend up to two years living and working in Canada as an Australian.

Starting in Vancouver or Toronto, spend the first six days of your Canada working holiday with people like you. With five nights’ hostel accommodation, job workshops, and help sorting all your bank and tax essentials – it’s the best way to settle into Canadian life before starting work.

Working holiday visa Canada update The IEC Canada visa pools for 2024 visa applications are now open. The earlier you enter the pools, the more draws your name will be exposed to – increasing your chances of getting a visa. So get your skates on!

About the visa

Who and for how long

Eligibility to work in Canada To work in Canada, you must have a work permit from International Experience Canada (the IEC). The IEC visa allows you to work for up to 24 months in any industry, other than the sex industry. You’re only allowed one visa per lifetime, so it’s designed to grab life by the snowballs and make it count.

There are only a limited number of IEC Canada visas each year, and so applications work via a pool system. (Not the fun pina colada kind, the kind where if your name is drawn out, you’ll be sent an ‘Invitation to Apply’ for your work permit).

Fast forward some more forms and a biometrics appointment, and you'll receive your ‘Port of Entry’ letter to work in Canada. You then have 12 months to enter the country.

The IEC visa pool opens in Dec/Jan each year, and usually stays open until Sep/Oct. Applying early ensures your profile is exposed to the maximum number of name draws.

  • Australian passport holders must have their ‘Invitation to Apply’ letter before their 36th birthday
  • Have proof of CAD $2,500 in support funds
  • No criminal convictions from the last five years
  • Most applicants are required to have a police background check

If you’ve already have had an IEC Canada visa, talk to us about our returner visas. These include the RO letter (Recognised Organisation) and Young Professionals visa.

Confused? Scroll the page to watch Jessie explain the visa process.

Make it work

Where and what you can do

Your visa allows you to do casual or career work. Typical backpacker and gap year jobs include working in tourism, hospitality, sales, labouring, childcare, retail and seasonal work in ski and summer resorts.

Seasonal jobs are the most popular options for travellers when they first arrive – working as a housekeeper, server, barista, chef, lift attendant, rental technician, driver or ski instructor. The minimum wage differs per state or province, with Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia all around the CAD $15 mark. Most of our pre-arranged ski and summer job employers pay between $16-24 an hour, plus tips where applicable.

You can also work in industries related to your career, education or trade – such as nursing, beauty, marketing, finance, recruitment and everything between. Here your earning potential will be higher, especially with a two-year visa to build up your experience.

Departure dates

Start Toronto or Vancouver

SWAP (our in-country partners) run your in-person arrival orientation every Wednesday in Vancouver and Toronto, but you can arrive at any time and we can book your 5 nights' hostel accommodation around your flights. Virtual arrival orientations for Banff and Calgary are every Thursday.

SWAP run monthly events such as hockey games, baseball games, outdoor movie nights and walking tours - which usually run on the third and fourth weeks of the month (although not guaranteed as it relies on game timetables etc). If your arrival doesn't coincide with an event but you're still in Toronto or Vancouver, you're welcome to head along!

Visa inclusions

IEC visa pool and application support

The IEC doesn't allow us to apply for your visa on your behalf, but we're with you the whole way – with the correct forms, one-on-one calls, visa webinars and Canada Clinics to ensure your application is submitted correctly.

Your visa fee (currently CAD $272) is paid directly to the Canadian government, and you must also attend a biometrics appointment at a designated biometrics centre to have your photo and fingerprints taken.

The whole visa process from entering the IEC visa pool to receiving your ‘Port of Entry’ letter can take between 2-3 months. We suggest booking as soon as the pool opens for the best chance of securing a visa.

Job inclusions

Unlimited pre-vetted working holiday jobs

You can interview with our summer or winter employers before you go, plus access unlimited working holiday jobs on the road.

Our Dream Jobs team scour the planet finding seasonal employers who are looking to take on working holidaymakers. They’re pre-vetted to make sure everything is legit, and once you get your ‘Invitation to Apply’, you can start searching and applying for positions on our JENZA Job Hub.

If you want to sort a job before you go, we work with some of the top resorts in Canada, including in Banff and Whistler, to help you secure a 4-6 month ski season or summer job. Depending on the resort, you’ll need to commit to the full job season, whether its during winter (Nov-Mar) or summer (May-Sep). Although subject to availability, many of our seasonal employers include subsidised staff housing (around CAD $400-600 per month) and great perks such as discounted lift passes, gear hire, and ski or snowboard lessons.

If you’d rather wait until you land, a job workshop is included in your arrival orientation. You’ll also have access to our JENZA Job Hub for your whole visa.

Pre-departure inclusions

Expert advice from people who’ve been

Your Work Canada ride or die, all our JENZA Support Squad have worked the world, so can give you firsthand advice on moving overseas. As well as being a geeky bunch of travel nerds and visa whisperers, we're also mental health awareness trained. Which means we know how to connect like humans – not customer service bots.

On top of one-on-one video calls, visa webinars and pre-departure handbooks, there’s a group call with the team in Canada every Tuesday to answer all your questions before you go.

In-country inclusions

Arrival orientation with 5 nights' accommodation

  • 5 nights at the Samesun hostel in either Toronto, Vancouver or Banff; or the HI hostel in Calgary
  • Weekly in-person arrival orientation every Wednesday (remote if starting in Banff or Calgary)

  • Access to SWAP’s resource centres in Vancouver or Toronto for your whole visa

Work essentials

This is all the un-sexy stuff, but essential and legal stuff you need to start working in Canada. When you arrive, the SWAP team will help you to set up:

Support funds (CAD $)

Travel insurance for Canada

You may be asked for your policy documents at immigration, so you must take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for your whole stay. For example, if you book a six-month policy to save money, you run the risk of your visa being stamped for that duration – not the full duration of your visa.

In-person biometrics appointment

This is a condition of your visa and currently costs CAD $85.

Visa fee Canada

This is paid directly to the Canada Embassy and currently costs CAD $272.

Canada police background check

You need to provide a police check for every country you have continuously lived in for 6+ months since the age of 18. The process and cost varies per country.

We don’t recommend booking flights until your visa is approved.

What the squad say

Stories from the Slopes

What's it like to work in Canada?

Fresh off the mountain, here are some of our winter '23/'24 working holidaymakers on what it's like to work a season in Canada. We'll let the video do the talking on this one. Standing by for your call...

Canada visas explained

The IEC Canada visa process can be a bewildering one. A pool without togs is confusing for a start. Especially for Jessie (an Aussie) and one of our JENZA Support Squad. The IEC pools open for visa applications each year in Dec/Jan and usually stay open until Sep/Oct. The earlier you enter the pools to apply for a working holiday visa, the more draws your name will be exposed to – increasing your chances of getting a visa from that year's allocation. Confused? Here's Jessie to explain how it works.

Canada jobs explained

Your Canada visa allows you to do pretty much any job in Canada. However, doing a ski or summer season resort job when you arrive is a great way to find your feet, meet other travellers, and live on the mountain. Plus, many resort jobs include subsidised staff accommodation - which is a total win when you've just moved over. You also don’t need to be able to ski or board to work a season. In fact, snow angels can be just as impressive as switch backside 180s. Plus, après ski is universal, right?

Got a question? We've got answers.

When should I apply for Work Canada?

You can book onto the Work Canada program year-round. However, working holiday Canada visas operate on a visa pool system – where the quota of working holiday visas (otherwise known as the IEC visa) are released each year. The number of visas available changes for each country - with some countries, including Australia, not having a visa quota. You can check the current quota for your country here .

The visa pools usually open in Dec/Jan, and close around Oct, although Canadian immigration make the decision on when to open and close the pools, so exact dates can change from year to year. Due to the competition for Canada visas and Canada jobs, we recommend booking Work Canada as soon as the IEC pools open

Who can apply for Work Canada?

I’ve been on working holiday Canada visa before, can I go again?

For British passport holders, you can work in Canada under the IEC working holiday scheme twice:

  • A first duration of 24 months under any category
  • A second duration of 12 months under any category

If you used your IEC visa before 2015 for a period of up to 12 months, you are eligible for a second visa of up to 24 months in any category. Those who already participated in IEC twice are no longer eligible to apply. Check out this Canada blog for the new rules for British passport holders. Confused? Call us and we’ll talk you through it.

For Australia and New Zealand passport holders, check out JENZA Work Canada Returner for information on applying for an RO Letter (Recognised Organisation) to return to Canada for a second time.

Do many people travel on their own?

How much does it cost?

What’s included with Work Canada?

  • Step-by-step guidance entering the visa pool and applying for your Canada visa
  • A pre-arranged 4-6 month summer or winter seasonal job in Canada
  • 5 nights’ arrival orientation in Toronto, Vancouver or Banff
  • SIN (Social Insurance Number), Canada bank account and SIM set-up
  • 12 months’ access to vetted working holiday jobs on the JENZA Job Hub
  • Weekly pre-departure group calls to answer all your questions

Mit AIFS nach Kanada!

Für alle, die bei der Visumsbeantragung, Jobsuche und allen organisatorischen Dingen vor der Ausreise und in Kanada rund um die Uhr perfekt unterstützt werden möchten.

Warum Work and Travel in Kanada?

Kanada gehört neben Australien und Neuseeland zu den beliebtesten Work and Travel Ländern weltweit. Kein Wunder, denn Kanada ist Lebensfreude pur!

Die Menschen sind herzlich und offen und die Landschaften sind atemberaubend schön. Wenn du dich für ein Work and Travel Jahr entscheidest, kannst du in Kanada richtig abschalten und die Natur genießen, z. B. beim Skifahren in Whistler oder beim Wandern in den Rocky Mountains im Sommer.

Auch wenn du eher der Stadtmensch bist, kommst du in Kanada voll auf deine Kosten. Egal ob Shopping, Kultur oder Nightlife – in den Großstädten Vancouver und Toronto findest du alles, was das Herz begehrt und lernst viele Menschen aus aller Welt kennen.

Schritt für Schritt nach Kanada - so geht's

Bist du mindestens 18 Jahre und maximal 35 Jahre alt ? Hast du die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft? Im ersten Schritt solltest du zunächst überprüfen, ob du alle Voraussetzungen für Work and Travel in Kanada erfüllst.

Hast du einen gültigen Reisepass? Falls nicht oder falls dieser nur noch für eine kurze Zeit gültig ist, ist es an der Zeit, einen neuen Reisepass zu beantragen. Auch um alle weiteren wichtigen Dokumente kannst du dich nun bereits kümmern.

Mit oder ohne Organisation?

Als nächstes solltest du dich entscheiden, ob du mit einer Work and Travel Organisation nach Kanada gehen möchtest oder ob du deinen Work and Travel Aufenthalt lieber alleine organisieren willst. Falls du dich für eine Organisation entscheidest, unterstützt dich diese u.a. bei den nachfolgenden Planungsschritten.

Losverfahren zum Visum

Erstelle online einen Account auf der Website der kanadischen Visa-Behörde (International Experience Canada) und registriere dich für das Losverfahren zum Working Holiday Visum.

Abwarten...und Daumen drücken!

Da die Anzahl an verfügbaren Visa für deutsche Staatsangehörige pro Jahr auf ca. 4.500 beschränkt sind, musst du nun die Ziehungen aus dem Bewerberpool abwarten und darauf hoffen, dass dein Name gezogen wird. Die Ziehungen finden in unregelmäßigen Abständen statt. Mit viel Glück wirst du bereits nach ein paar Tagen gezogen. Es kann aber auch mehrere Monate dauern. Wenn du Pech hast, wird dein Name gar nicht gezogen. In diesem Fall kannst du dich im Folgejahr erneut bewerben.

Visumantrag abschließen

Sobald dein Name ausgelost wurde, musst du über dein Online-Profil offiziell bestätigen, dass du die Einladung zur Beantragung des Working Holiday Visums annimmst. Ab dann hast du 20 Tage Zeit, die restlichen Dokumente (u. A. ein polizeiliches Führungszeugnis hochladen) und die Antragsgebühr zu bezahlen. Im Anschluss daran bekommst du von der Visa-Behörde die Bestätigung, dass dein Antrag genehmigt wurde.

Vorbereitung auf deine Ausreise

Spätestens nachdem du dein Visum in der Tasche hast, wird es Zeit dich zu entscheiden, in welcher Stadt (z. B. Vancouver oder Toronto) du dein Work and Travel Abenteuer starten möchtest? Anschließend musst du dich noch um deine Flugbuchung und um den Abschluss einer Auslandskrankenversicherung kümmern. Eine solche Versicherung wird von den kanadischen Behörden zwingend vorausgesetzt. Ebenso musst du sicherstellen, dass auf deinem Bankkonto ein ausreichender Betrag als Guthaben verbucht ist, so dass du bei der Einreise nachweisen kannst, dass du in der Lage bist deinen Aufenthalt in Kanada selbst zu finanzieren.

Auf geht's nach Kanada!

Bei der Bestätigung deines Visumantrags wurde dir ein sogenannter POE Letter of Invitation per Email zugeschickt. Dieses Dokument musst du bei deiner Einreise in Kanada vorzeigen. Nun hast du’s endlich geschafft! Du kannst jetzt für 12 Monate in Kanada leben und arbeiten.

10 Jobtipps für Backpacker – Work and Travel Kanada

Daniel Kovacs Erste Tage in Kanada , Job & Arbeit , Planung vor der Reise , Reise-Tipps Bewerbung , Jobs , Ski-Gebiet , Wissenswertes , Wwoofing 8

Update 16.8.2021  – Dein Work and Travel Jahr in Kanada eignet sich hervorragend,  um wertvolle internationale Arbeitserfahrung zu sammeln. Aber wie sollst du an das Thema Arbeiten in Kanada heran gehen? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es für dich, als Backpacker einen Job in Kanada zu bekommen? All diese Fragen werde ich dir in diesem Artikel beantworten.

Tipp 1: Welche Dokumente brauchst du für deine kanadische Bewerbung?

Das wichtigste Dokument ist der Lebenslauf  (auch Resume oder CV genannt), denn durch ihn kann sich dein zukünftiger Arbeitgeber ein erstes Bild von deinen Skills und deiner Arbeitserfahrung verschaffen.

Der kanadische Lebenslauf hat einige Unterschiede zu dem Deutschen. So wird zum Beispiel kein Bild von dir benötigt. Auch werden Daten, wie dein Alter und dein Geburtsdatum nicht mit angegeben. Dadurch soll verhindert werden, dass in Kanada Menschen aufgrund dieser Merkmale diskriminiert werden.

Kein Passbild Lebenslauf Kanada

Der Lebenslauf sollte in Englisch oder Französisch geschrieben sein, denn Kanada besitzt zwei National-Sprachen. Dabei wird französisch aber fast ausschließlich in der Provinz Quebec gesprochen. Wenn du deinen französischen Skills verbessern willst, ist Montreal die perfekte Stadt für dich.

Konzentration der gesprochenen Sprachen in Kanada:

Ein weiterer Unterschied zu dem deutschen Lebenslauf ist, dass man in Kanada nur die Arbeits- und Schulerfahrung der letzten 5 Jahre angibt. Alles vorher interessiert in Kanada niemanden. Auch solltest du darauf achten, dass dein Lebenslauf nicht länger als 1-2 Seiten ist.

Aber keine Angst, einen kanadischen Lebenslauf zu erstellen ist nicht schwer. Mit unserer Vorlage für einen kanadischen Lebenslauf kannst du ihn schon in Deutschland fertig machen. So sparst du dir diese Zeit in Kanada.

-> Zum Übersetzen deiner Dokumente ( Resume, CV, Führungszeugnisse… ) empfehlen wir “ lingoking “:

work and travel kanada jobs toronto

Tipp 2: Wie wichtig ist kanadische Arbeitserfahrung?

In Kanada wird sehr viel Wert auf kanadische Arbeitserfahrung gelegt, was aber keines Weges schlecht ist. Im Gegenteil, dadurch hast du die Möglichkeit an Jobs zu kommen, die du in Deutschland ohne eine Ausbildung oder dementsprechende Abschlüsse niemals bekommen würdest.

So habe ich während meiner Work and Travel Zeit in einem völlig anderen Bereich gearbeitet, als in Deutschland. Zuhause habe ich mich zum Maschinenbau-Techniker schulen lassen (nicht dass das hier irgendjemanden interessiert 😛 ), habe in Vancouver aber einen Job als Designer in der Film Industrie ergattert. Und Christina hat ohne nennenswerte Job Erfahrung (Sie kam direkt nach der Schule nach Kanada) als Tellerwäscher gestartet und sich später zur Köchin hochgearbeitet.

An der Stelle möchte ich dich ermutigen, in Kanada in Jobs zu schnuppern, die du in Deutschland nicht in Erwägung ziehen würdest.

Tipp 3: Welche Jobmöglichkeiten gibt es?

Mit dem Working Holiday Visum bekommst du eine Arbeitserlaubnis, mit der du fast ohne Einschränkungen arbeiten darfst.

Lediglich für Berufe im Gesundheitswesen, Kinderbetreuung oder als Lehrer benötigst du eine spezielle medizinische Untersuchung. Diese musst du schon während der Beantragung des Working Holiday Visums machen lassen. Das so genannte „medical exam“ kostet ungefähr 250$ und verlängert die Bewerbungsdauer für das Visum um 4-6 Wochen.

-> Mehr Information im Artikel: Working Holiday Visum Kanada: Dein ultimativer Guide!

Bei der Einreise nach Kanada wird dir ein „Open-Work Permit“ (offene Arbeitsgenehmigung) ausgehändigt. Mit diesem darfst du bis zu 1 Jahr legal in Kanada arbeiten.

Als Backpacker stehen dir dabei verschiedene Möglichkeiten zu Verfügung. Viele Work & Traveller arbeiten zum Beispiel als Tellerwäscher, Bedienung, Barista, Verkäufer oder auf Farmen. Je nach deiner Berufserfahrung kannst du aber auch einen besser bezahlten Job bekommen.

Es gibt unzählige Möglichkeiten für einen Job in Kanada. Manchmal muss man auch einfach clever sein. Du kannst zum Beispiel in einem Autohaus nachfragen, ob sie jemanden zum Autos waschen brauchen.

Tipp : In Vancouver gibt es eine Möglichkeit, schnell an einen Job zu kommen. Wenn du dir körperlich anstrengende Arbeit zutraust, kannst du dich bei der Firma Pristine Labour bewerben. Diese Firma vermittelt Arbeiter an verschiedene Baustellen.

Das Ganze läuft so ab: Sie schreiben dir 1-2 Tage vorher eine SMS und du kannst entscheiden, ob du an dem entsprechenden Tag arbeiten willst. Der Vorteil ist, dass du schnell Arbeit hast und über dem Mindestlohn verdienst. Allerdings hast du keinen geregelten Ablauf und arbeitest auf Abruf.

Viele Work and Traveller nutzen diese Variante als Übergangslösung.

Tipp 4: Mindestlohn in Kanada

Auch in Kanada gibt es einen Mindestlohn, welcher sich aber von Provinz zu Provinz unterscheidet. Auf der Webseite vom Retailcouncil.org kannst du die aktuellen Mindestlöhne vergleichen. Außerdem wird der Mindestlohn jedes Jahr angepasst.

Mindestlohn Kanada Oktober 2020

Achtung : Auch in Kanada ist es per Gesetz festgelegt, dass du beim Arbeiten mindestens den Mindestlohn erhälst. Lass dich also auf Jobs, die dir keinen Vertrag oder keinen Mindestlohn zahlen wollen, nicht ein. Dann such lieber nach dem Nächsten.

Tipp 5: Wie bekommt man in Kanada einen Job?

Kommen wir zum interessantesten Tipp des ganzen Beitrags und zwar wie kannst du in Kanada als Backpacker einen Job erhalten? Dazu möchte ich dir 6 Möglichkeiten mit auf den Weg geben:

Möglichkeit 1: Gehe persönlich vorbei

Drucke dir deinen Lebenslauf aus und laufe die Straßen deiner Stadt ab. Es ist in Kanada möglich einen Job zu bekommen, wenn du persönlich in einem Laden vorbeischaust und deinen Resume abgibst. Anders als in Deutschland brauchst du hierzu wirklich weder ein Anschreiben noch eine Bewerbungsmappe. Gerade die kleineren Jobs sind so sogar mit am Besten zu bekommen. Meistens hängen in den Schaufenstern auch Zettel mit „staff wanted“ oder „now hiring“.

Mein Tipp : Verlange gleich den Manager oder den Vorgesetzten, denn dann kannst du gleich eine Art Mini Bewerbungsgespräch führen. Du siehst, wie der Chef drauf ist und er kann auch dich sofort kennen lernen. So hebst du dich anderen Bewerbern gegenüber ab.

Am Besten zeigst du sogar Engagement, indem du nach 2-3 Tagen nochmals vorbei gehst und nachfragst, wie es mit dem Job aussieht.

Möglichkeit 2: Online bewerben

Alle meine Jobs habe ich über eine einzige Plattform bekommen. Craigslist ist in Kanada die Webseite für alles. Und ich meine ALLES 😉 Die Webseite vereint Ebay, Jobbörse, Autobörse, Partnerbörse und Wohnungsmarkt. Wir haben unsere Zimmer, Jobs sowie unsere Autos über Craigslist gefunden.

Weitere Onlineplattformen für die Jobsuche sind:

Möglichkeit 3: Jobmessen

Es finden auch regelmäßig so genannte Jobmessen (Job Fair / Hiring Fair) statt. Auf diesen Messen suchen die Arbeitgeber nach entsprechendem Personal. Auch hier lohnt es sich, mit deinem Lebenslauf vorbei zu schauen. Du findest Jobmessen in deiner Nähe, wenn du bei Google den Name deiner Stadt + „Job Fair“ oder „Hiring Fair“ eingibst.

Möglichkeit 4: Anzeigen und das schwarze Brett

Wie auch bei den Schaufensteranzeigen kannst du in Hostels an das schwarze Brett schauen. Nicht selten werden dort Jobs angeboten. Dasselbe gilt auch für die schwarzen Bretter an den Universitäten. Selbst große Supermärkte haben solche Anzeigebretter. Die Auswahl, dort einen Job zu finden ist zwar begrenzt, aber ein Blick kann nicht schaden.

Möglichkeit 5: Netzwerken

Das so genannte Vitamin B kann auch in Kanada eine sehr gute Möglichkeit sein, um an einen Job zu kommen. Dabei rede ich davon, dass du bei den nächsten Gesprächen mit anderen Backpackern einfach mal erwähnst, dass du auf der Jobsuche bist. Sie können dir nicht nur Infos geben, sondern oft wissen sie, wo bereits Arbeitskräfte gesucht werden oder wo eine Stelle frei wird. Außerdem können sie dich auf ihrer Arbeit empfehlen.

Möglichkeit 6: Hilfe durch die Organisation

Wenn du mit einer Organisation nach Kanada kommst, dann bieten auch diese vor Ort eine Datenbank, wo du Jobangebote findest. Die Wahrheit ist aber, dass sie die Jobs meistens aus Craigslist nehmen und in ihre Datenbank übertragen. Es ist nicht selten vorgekommen, dass deren Datenbank sogar veraltet war oder die Auswahl klein ist.

Wenn du noch nicht sicher bist, ob du mit oder ohne Organisation reisen sollst, dann ließ dir den 1. Tipp meines Artikels: 10 Tipps für Work and Travel Kanada durch. Dort erkläre ich, warum ich der Meinung bin, dass du das ganze alleine machen solltest.

,,Für 2023 empfehlen wir die Visa Card der DKB . kostenlos weltweit Bezahlen und Geld abheben"

Tipp 6: Arbeiten in einem Hostel?

Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit direkt in einem Hostel zu arbeiten. Das hat den Vorteil, dass sie dir meistens die Unterkunft mit anbieten und du so eine Menge Geld sparen kannst. Hostels suchen meist Vollzeit oder Teilzeitkräfte.

In Vancouver hatte ich einen Mitbewohner, der 14h pro Woche für das Hostel gearbeitet hat. Gerade wenn du nach Möglichkeiten suchst günstig zu reisen, ist das eine gute Alternative.

Generell würde ich dir empfehlen, dass du nach Jobs Ausschau hälst, die dir noch einen Vorteil bringen. Zum Beispiel bekommt man in der Gastronomie oft eine Mahlzeit pro Tag serviert.

Tipp 7: Arbeiten auf einer Farm?

Farmarbeit in Kanada mit WWoofing

Beim Arbeiten auf einer Farm unterscheidet man zwischen 2 Modellen:

Dem so genannten Wwoofing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), bei dem du für Kost und Logis auf Farmen arbeiten kannst. Allerdings erhältst du dort kein Geld. Trotzdem ist Wwoofing bei vielen Work and Travellern beliebt, da sie so günstig leben können und gleichzeitig die kanadische Kultur besser kennen lernen. Um eine Farm zu finden gibt es verschiedene Webseiten, wie wwoof.net oder helpx.net . Bei allen Seiten muss man sich registrieren und eine Anmeldegebühr bezahlen.

Die zweite Möglichkeit ist die bezahlte Form als Fruitpicking oder Erntehelfer. Dabei hilft man gegen Bezahlung bei der Ernte mit. Hierzu solltest du die Saisons der jeweiligen Ernten bedenken.

Vor allem im Okanagan Valley kann man gut Fruitpicking machen.

Tipp 8: Arbeiten im Ski-Gebiet?

Arbeiten im Skigebiet in Kanada

Gerade die Jobs in Skigebieten sind in Kanada sehr beliebt. Deshalb solltest du dich dafür bereits im September oder Oktober um einen Platz kümmern. Besonders beliebte Ski-Gebiete sind Whistler (Das größte Ski-Gebiet ganz Nord-Amerikas) und die Ski-Gebiete bei Banff in den Rocky Mountains.

-> Mehr Infos zu den Jobs im Skigebiet findest du im Artikel „ 6 TIPPS wie DU einen Job im Skigebiet in Kanada bekommst! „

Einen Überblick der kanadischen Ski-Resorts in den Rocky Mountains findest du Artikel: „ Alle Skigebiete in den kanadischen Rocky Mountains + JOBS „

Tipp 9: Arbeiten in der Öl- und Gasindustrie?

Öl und Gas in Kanada

Du möchtest eine Menge Geld verdienen? Dir machen 12 Stunden Arbeitstage nichts aus? Abseits von Zivilisation und allen anderen? Dann bist du vielleicht der Richtige, um in der Öl- und Gasindustrie Kanadas zu arbeiten.

Leider kennen ich mich in der Öl- und Gasindustrie nicht so gut aus aber ich habe hier einen interessanten Artikel gefunden:

Tipp 10: Zeitarbeit und Jobvermittler in Kanada.

Auch eine „Employment Agency“ oder zu Deutsch die Zeitarbeitsfirma könnte sich für dich Lohnen. Wenn du einen Job bei so einer Agentur hast, wirst du für einen befristeten Zeitraum an eine andere Firma ausgeliehen. Dadurch bekommst du dein Geld von der Agentur und wirst von dieser vermittelt.

Vor allem, wenn du bereits eine abgeschlossene Ausbildung oder ein abgeschlossenes Studium aus Deutschland mitbringst, könntest du so schnell an einen Job kommen. Ich sehe es so, jedes Eisen im Feuer bringt dich einen Schritt näher an dein Ziel.

Bonus Tipp: Job in der Filmindustrie?

Filmindustrie in Kanada Vancouver

Vancouver wird nicht umsonst „Hollywood North“ genannt. Denn neben Los Angeles und New York ist Vancouver die 3. größte Filmstadt in Amerika. Viele Filme und Serien haben hier ihre Produktionen. Um nur mal eine kleine Liste von bekannten Filmen und Serien zu geben:

Filme : Twilight Saga, Man of Steel, Mission Impossible IV, X-Men Saga, Planet der Affen, Tomorrowland, 50 Shades Of Grey, Fantastic Four, I Robot, Nachts im Museum, Godzilla…

Serien : Supernatural, Supergirl, iZombie, the 100, Stargate, 21 Jump Street, The X-Files, The Killing, Arrow, The Flash, Once Upon a Time, MacGyver, Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, Fear the Walking Dead…

Auch ich habe 1 Jahr lang in Vancouver in der Filmindustrie gearbeitet. Genauer gesagt in der Produktion der Requisiten aus Styropor und Kunststoff.

Auch du kannst als Work and Traveller in der Filmindustrie arbeiten. Wenn du bei Google nach „Vancouver Extra“ suchst, kannst du dich in die Datenbanken der Casting Agenturen eintragen. Weil so viele Produktionen gleichzeitig laufen, werden immer wieder Statisten gesucht. Das Ganze wird natürlich bezahlt und besteht meistens aus kleineren Events. Mal ein Tag hier mal ein Wochenende da. Also kein Vollzeitjob!

Das ist trotzdem eine gute Möglichkeit, um in die Filmindustrie zu schnuppern und Kontakte zu knüpfen. Und wer weiß, vielleicht entwickelt sich daraus mehr.

Welche Produktionen aktuell in BC abgedreht werden, findest du hier .

Ein sehr schöner, ausführlicher Artikel. Ich arbeite selber grade am gleichen Thema und man kann so viel schreiben dass es schwer ist sich kurz zu fassen. Danke auch für die erwähnung von meinem Artikel der Jobs in Skigebieten! 🙂

Viele Grüße und gute Reise, Markus

' src=

Hi Markus und danke für deine Nachricht. Das glaube ich sofort. In das Thema Jobs kann man so viele Themen noch mit reinpacken. Wir sind schon echt gespannt auf die Super Bible 🙂 lg Daniel

' src=

Hi Daniel Erstmal echt tolle Arbeit, die du da machst. Sehr ausführlich und einfach erklärt- Danke dafür.

Ich hätte da aber noch eine Frage: Also als work and traveller ist man ja auf Durchreise und wie kommt es denn beim Arbeitsgeber an, wenn man ihm von vorneherein erzählt, dass man bspw. nur 2 Monate arbeiten kann? Nehmen die dann noch einen an? Ich habe gesehen, dass ihr auch in Calgary wart. Dies wird unser nächstes Ziel für zwei Monate. Hast du vll Empfehlungen für jobs dort?

Vielen Dank im voraus. Lg Tharany

HI Tharany 🙂 ich danke dir für deine schöne Nachricht. Zu deiner Frage, das hängt natürlich stark von deinem Arbeitgeber ab und welche Art von Job es ist. Einige sehen das gelassen bei anderen hast du dann keine Chance den Job zu bekommen. Als ich Vancouver gearbeitet habe, war mein ursprüngliche Idee einfach nur 1-2 Monate. Am Ende hat mir der Job so gut gefallen, dass ich 1 Jahr geblieben bin. Ich vertrete also die Ansicht: Verbau es dir selbst nicht. Vielleicht ändern sich deine Pläne. Also musst du nicht zwingend Sagen, dass du nur 1-2 Monate bleibt. Wenn du es natürlich 100% weißt, dann ist das natürlich sehr Ehrlich. lg Daniel

' src=

Das ist eine interessante Frage, die mich auch sehr interessiert 🙂 Des Weiteren frage ich mich, wie ihr die Unterkünfte auf eure Arbeitsorte abgestimmt habt. Wenn ihr beispielsweise an einem Ort Arbeit gefunden habt, an dem es kein Hostel in der Nähe gab, habt ihr dann in dieser Zeit bei verschiedenen Hosts übernachtet, die ihr über Couchsurfing gefunden habt oder habt ihr von dem Geld, welches ihr verdient habt, gleichzeitig auch eine Unterkunft bezahlt? ich wäre dankbar für eine Antwort! 🙂 LG Clara

Hallo Clara, wir selbst haben die meiste Zeit eh in unserem Camper Van gelebt. Aber du kannst immer aus verschiedenen Arten der Unterkunft wählen. AirBnB, Mieten, Hostel, Housesitting oder wie du schon gesagt hast Couchsurfing. Alles ist Möglich 🙂 lg Daniel

' src=

dass ich ein großer Fan von deinen Tipps bin, weißt du ja bereits. Trotzdem danke nochmal für deinen Blog und explizit diese Jobtipps! Fühle mich gleich sicherer und nicht mehr so hilflos was mich in Kanada so erwarten könnte.

Liebe Grüße Michelle 🙂

Hi Michelle, voll schön von dir zu lesen auf dem Blog! Ich freu mich so für dich und würde am liebsten gleich mit dir mit nach Kanada.
