Canada - Summer Programs

Overview

Contrary to popular belief, more people head over to Canada during the summer months, when this place really comes alive and the outdoor mad Canadians get active! The snow starts to melt, the animals come out of hibernation, and the adrenaline lovers get to experience those exciting pursuits other than skiing or boarding as temperatures soar into the 20's. The summer months are a really exciting time to live and work in Canada, and WHC can set you up with a fantastic summer job in a luxury five start resort close to Banff, before you leave Australia.

The summer months are synonymous with adventure, as it is possible to spend your spare time swimming in the cool lakes, hiking, biking, horse riding or camping in the mountains. There are a plethora of activities to experience, and as a seasonnaire, you will have the opportunity to try them all!

Summer parties are an integral part of the season, as you will meet and work alongside like-minded individuals from all over the World living the laid back Canadian lifestyle. Check out the crazy local bars, the spectacular landscape and unique wildlife that make Canada so incredible, as you live in the areas most can only dream of visiting.

Why should I consider this Program?

With literally thousands of youths from all over the world attempting to work Canadian, Japanese and U.S ski resorts each season it places a massive strain on the Human Resource departments to keep up with the bombardment of emails and phone calls.

While some resorts do accept direct applications, usually for skilled positions i.e. qualified instructors, the majority of which use the services of agencies to recruit internationals for them.

The Working Holiday Club is founded on the partnerships between leading flight, travel, recruitment and ski resort organisations to ensure participants have all the assistance and support they need to experience a working holiday quickly, easily and on a budget. Not only will WHC ensure that you have the best chance at landing a job at one of the country’s greatest ski resorts in a position that suits you but we will also give you all the ammunition you need to have one of the greatest experiences of your life!

Why WHC?

• Invaluable assistance with obtaining your working visa, housing, tax file numbers, bank accounts and even housemates!
