COMPLETE GUIDE TO WORKING HOLIDAY CANADA: application process, arrival experience & important TO-DOs
Today's video is all about the ins and outs of applying for a Working Holiday Visa (WHV) for Canada. Alise is ready to share everything you need to know - from eligibility and application processes to what happens once you're in Canada 🇨🇦
In this detailed guide, we introduce you to the WHV, a program that allows young adults to live and work in countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. We'll walk you through our journey, highlighting the application process under the International Experience Canada program and our personal experiences, including the mistakes we made and what you can do to avoid them.
We also share practical advice on what to do upon your arrival in Canada, such as obtaining your Social Insurance Number, choosing a phone plan, and opening a bank account. Plus, we share a bit of our personal story of why we wanted to go on this adventure, our love for the mountains, and our past experiences that led us to choose Canada for our latest home.
