Hello Everyone

Could anyone who has been on a working holiday visa to Canada please share their experience with me?

Australia has an agreement with Canada that allows people to go on a working holiday visa for 2 years, however i have heard

from some people on this forum that Immigration officer tend to give only one year visa, is this true?

Working Holiday Visa and finding work


Hi,

I heard that if you have a working holiday visa it is difficult to find work, is this true? I heard that a 'work permit' of some sort is required, is this correct? Can anybody give me some indication on the dfficulties of finding work on a working holiday visa in Canada. Thanks a million to anyone who can inform me.

1. Well there is a bit of a recession in Canada, so you may have to look a little harder for work.
2. A working holiday visa is a work permit.
