Hey guys,

I live in London, UK and for my uni summer holidays i would like to get a job in Canada, namely Vancouver. I'm not too bothered what the job would be, i'm more interested in living in Canada for maybe a month or two, and getting a taste of the culture.

Do any of you have details on how i'd go about this? Useful websites, advice based on your own experience of something similar, etc.

Thanks,

apache

That looks good but seems very expensive, did you find that the work you did covered to cost of booking with them?

Aswell as earning the cost of getting there and back it would be nice to save some money up for my next year of uni.

I got a student loan and never paid it back :)

awesome experiance tho man...I ended up buying a month long grayhound ticket and bumming all the way around the states with all the freaks and weirdos.

slept on the bus most nights, I was only 18.


I don't know how hard it is to get a visa for Canada...but America is almost impossible. Canada might be better with the commonwealth and everything...
