WORKING HOLIDAY CANADA
Overview
Get more than a tourist experience — live and work in the U.S. over your school break! This program gives students the opportunity to take on temporary jobs alongside Americans, offering an authentic and immersive U.S. experience. Best of all, your earnings can help offset your travel costs.
Students on the program are employed in summer jobs in famous locations like amusement parks Cedar Point and Six Flags and national parks Yellowstone and Grand Canyon. Upon fulfilling their work agreement, they get to travel around the USA within a stipulated period as part of the program. In this way, they have in many seasons of the program formed meaningful friendships with people from many countries, acquired overseas work experience, and simply gained great memories.
This program is not for students to gain practical training, apply classroom knowledge, complete compulsory work attachment/internship programs unless otherwise stated by their institutions, or seek permanent work opportunities or long-term career in the USA. At the end of the program, all students must return to the country in which they are studying.
