Are you looking for something exciting and different to do for 12 months anytime of the year? Thinking of working on the Canadian ski slopes in the winter? Whatever your time frame, Work & Travel Canada offers a great opportunity for combining work and travel in an alternative North American setting.
SASTS Working Adventures is the only South African organisation able to legally assist South Africans in obtaining a Canadian working visa. The Work Canada is a 12 month working holiday programme. This is a non-placement programme which means you will need to find your own job after arriving in Canada. You must have an SA passport and must be between the ages of 18 – 30. If you meet those requirements, you are eligible for the programme. You will have the support of our Canadian co-operator throughout your stay.
Work Canada runs annually so you can soak in some sunny summertime rays or brave the great Canadian winter instead and head for the slopes and Montreal's Winter Carnival.
