Welcome to the Canada Working Holiday Hub, where I help you prepare for your upcoming working holiday visa to the cold north – Canada. A country known for the stunning Rocky Mountains, some of the best snow sports in the world, great lakes, ice hockey and poutine, it’s a (cold) destination just waiting for you to explore.
To start with, what is a working holiday? All you need to know!
I want to help you get ready by sharing my experiences and getting you familiar with how things work in the world’s second-largest country, so the move is smooth. Although I have made a skyscraper article outlining everything relating to moving to Canada from the UK on a working holiday visa, it can seem like an overwhelming process. So, below I have broken the topics down to make it easier for you. Follow the articles below to start your journey.
