Find your dream job – work as a ski bum in Canada!

Canada is without doubt one of the world’s best ski destinations and is renowned for its amazing winter season. Perfect snow conditions, a lively nightlife, varied terrain and breathtaking scenery. That can be your everyday if you choose a working holiday in Canada.

But Canada isn't only a winter wonderland. The summer months are when the place really heats up and everything and everyone comes out to enjoy the incredible wilderness. We also offer summer packages if you prefer to kick start your working holiday adventure in the summer months. Or perhaps you want to do both?

Our Canada working holiday packages provide you with step-by-step visa assistance, guaranteed job placements and orientation on your arrival in Canada. And our team of experts are here to help with flights, plus any extra travel services you might need, like insurance and tours.

Where can I work?

In summer there are opportunities at Lake Louise, the Cathedral Mountain Lodge and the Fairmont Banff Springs, among many others. All of these are top-notch locations for outdoor sports and adventure and provide stunning nature among the mountains, lakes and forests. It's a true biking, climbing, hiking and kayaking paradise. Interviews for the summer season will start in late February or early March, and the season starts in mid-May.

During winter our world-class ski resort partners include Lake Louise and Silverstar. Tens of thousands of young people from all over the world travel to Canada every year for the ski season, so it's a good idea to make sure you have a job before you leave - not only to avoid being disappointed but also to save a small fortune if you end up being in Canada without income. Interviews for the winter season will start sometime in 2023, while the season itself starts in November.

 

What type of work is available?

In winter we provide job opportunities like ski rental, ski lift operator and other ski resort-related tasks, as well as in restaurants and hotel receptions to name but a few. All positions are related to winter sports and ski resorts and come with full training, salaries, accommodation discounts, employee discounts, free ski passes and invitations to events and parties.

During the summer months, there are a lot of different jobs available in hospitality: guest services, bartender, retail, host and rental technician are among the possibilities. It's a great way to kickstart a career in the hospitality branch, in a really fun way!

 

Biometric fingerprints are a must

The Canadian government require that biometric fingerprints must be submitted as part of the visa application, which is currently only possible at the Canadian embassies or consulates in London, Stockholm, Paris, The Hague, Berlin, Reykjavik, Helsinki and Dusseldorf.
