Application Process
There are two main ways of entering Canada as a Temporary Foreign Worker, each with a separate application process. You may enter Canada to work temporarily under the Working Holiday Visa Program, or by receiving a Work Permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Working Holiday Visa
The Working Holiday category is for persons aged 18-35 from countries that have an agreement with Canada, and who want to travel and work in Canada for a temporary period. It is designed for students and non-students who want to supplement their travel and cultural experiences with temporary work here in Canada.
More information appears below from Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (International Youth Program)
Temporary Foreign Worker Visa
To work in Canada on a temporary basis through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, foreign workers must have an offer of employment from a Canadian employer and be granted a Temporary Work Permit. The following link will explain how the application process works.
