Working Holiday City Job

Program Overview

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are looking for our Recognized Organization Working Holiday/Young Professional work permits, then this program is NOT applicable; please refer to this blog post for more information. Our Working Holiday City Job is aimed for first-time applicants that come to Canada under regular IEC participation.

Whether it’s giving bike tours around the city or serving cocktails at one of the top restaurants, there’s always something special about working in Vancouver. Stepwest’s Working Holiday City Job program in Canada is designed to give you an experience of a lifetime by combining equal amounts of work and play!

This Working Holiday Canada program is one of our most popular choices amongst candidates as it allows you to spend up to one year (2 years for certain countries) exploring and working in Vancouver and is open year round.

Once registered, you can take advantage of a guaranteed work placement, full orientation, 1 night’s hostel accommodation, interview preparation sessions, resume revision and visa support along with various other perks and optional add-ons.

Vancouver has a lot to offer and has year round amenities and attractions from world class ski hills, hundreds of hiking treks, top shopping districts and a bustling nightlife. Its thriving tourism sector means that there are always jobs on offer in hospitality, retail and many more.

Our Working Holiday Canada program is once in a lifetime experience that lets you immerse yourself in Canadian culture, make lifelong friends, maybe learn how to ski or snowboard, and all while earning money to pay off bills and fund your Canadian adventure!

Do you want to have an international work experience in Canada as well? Participate in our Working Holiday City Job program and you can not only improve your English level but also gain confidence and valuable international work experience in North America.
