Working abroad is a unique, and often life-changing experience, but you will require a work visa. Obtaining a visa can be a tricky process and varies from country to country. NONSTOP kindly outlines the best way to get the Canadian work visa application started. If you can secure a job before you leave home your new employer may be willing to arrange to 'sponsor' your work visa. However, only those with experience and qualifications will be able to acquire sponsorship.
The majority of people will need to arrange their own working visa and the best way for UK residents to obtain a Canadian work visa is through BUNAC. They provide a range of work abroad programmes and will provide advice and support before and during your trip.
There are limited number of work visas available so we advise completing the online application form well before you intend to head out to Canada. They work on a first come first served basis so bare this in mind in planning your travels.
Either contact BUNAC to request an application form on (020) 7251 3472 or download it from the BUNAC website www.bunac.org
