Working Holiday Canada

Work and accommodation in Canada

In 2010 we were the only ones to send out our first clients for work to the Olympic games in Vancouver. From that time more than 1500 clients have travelled with us and they all have enjoyed the year in Canada.

If you prefer mountains, nature and calm, you will surely be able to choose from one of our mountain resorts. Are you more into the city life? We will arrange you a stay in Vancouver.

Most of our participants use our help to find a job. We help you to find a job in the extensive contact database, based on your requests, experiences and language skills.

Resort program

The beauties of the Canadian nature can be admired from elsewhere than a couch in the Czech Republic. We offer jobs in resorts with breath-taking surroundings, friendly Canadians and tourists from all around the world. Participants of the program work usually in hotels located in mountain towns such as Jasper, Banff, Panorama and Canmore.

We offer job positions in hospitality (hotel and restaurants) but you can also work for ski resorts such as Panorama or Marmont. Your employment depends on previous work experience and your english level.

Most of the employers also provide the staff accomodation, which is a huge advantage of this program.

1st option: Job Fair

Annually we organize Job Fair, where you can meet employers from canadian mountain resorts and towns. The employers choose the employees based on a personal interview in Prague. This year three employers from Jasper, Banff and Panorama took part in the Job Fair. Read more information about JobFair Canada 2019.

2nd option: Skype interview

We’ll arrange the skype interview with the employer in Canada. You’re leaving to Canada with a secure job.

City placement

Hospitality Jobs

Thanks to this option you can work in bigger cities, particularly in the Olympic city Vancouver. Jobs are usually in various cafes and restaurants.

Construction Jobs

If you have experience in construction industry, are physically fit and would like to work outside, this variant of the program is ideal for you. You can work on building sites, repair roofs or take part in maintaining the greenery.

Work payment

The hourly wage depends on your employer and your work contract. Generally, every employer respects the minimal wage. If working in resorts you have even additional benefits e.g. canoe rental, an opportunity to visit sport centres, rafting, ski pass or a financial bonus at the end of the season.

• Ontario province (Toronto) – 14,00 CAD
• British Columbia province (Vancouver) – 12,65 CAD
• Alberta province (Calgary) – 15 CAD
• Yucon province (Whitehorse) – 11,51 CAD
• Quebec province – 12 CAD

It is likely that your wage will be higher than the minimal wage, or will get higher during your stay.
