Working Holiday in Canada
 

Hi, <BR>I am a dual nationality US/UK citizen but I live in the UK. I'm 22. My partner is 28 and his grandfather was Canadian. <BR>I am desperately trying to find out if Canada has working holiday visas for us. I can't find info on it anywhere..I know Canada can go to other countries on WHV, so do they not reciprocate? <BR>Please, please let me know asap if you know anything about this. <BR>Thanks,

I thought your question was interesting so I did some searching. Our Canadian gov't website is www.canada.gov.ca - there was some info about Canadians going on work holidays and somewhere there I found a link to <BR> <BR>http://www.bunac.org/uk/workcanada/index.htm <BR> <BR>Hopefully, that will put you in the right direction.

If either of you are skiiers, a news item prominently displayed in British Columbia last week, talked about the shortage of people to work in the hospitality industry in our major ski resorts. Whistler is okay, but the interior resorts like Big White in Kelowna, Silverstar in Vernon, are desperate for workers, and are sweetening the pot to attract people. I am sure if you contacted one of the two above mentioned resorts, they could grease the skids to help you obtain a working visa

Yes, you can get a working holiday visa if you're from the UK. I've know a couple of people who came from England to Vancouver for a year under this visa.
