ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Canadian Working Holiday Program, also known as “CWHP”, is a program designed for applicants who want to come to Canada to work and travel.
International Experience Canada ( IEC ) offers this program and our Agency works with Recognized organization – Go International. Participants on this program get an opportunity to experience life in Canada for maximum of one year, while working in any field without any limitations. Participants can work as many hours as they like, and they can change jobs during the program, and also their locations.  Participants don’t have to arrange their job before arriving to Canada.

Number of visas for this program is limited and it’s “first come, first serve”, so it’s very important to start the whole process on time. Applications for the next season open in November and they close in third week of October ( or when all places are taken ).

GO International provides valuable assistance to participants with settling in, finding a job and accommodation and getting to know Canada. Participants are not left alone when they arrive to Canada, but they have a full time support of Work and Travel Group Agency and also Go International. Participant can get an access to “hot job list” where they can find some available jobs and also attend seminars and different types of webinars to prepare for their job interviews.
