Three Ways for U.S. Citizens to Work and Travel in Canada

If you’ve set your compass north and need some ideas on working out the logistics, here are a few options for you as a U.S. citizen.

Working Holiday

International Experience Canada (IEC) offers several options to visit for longer than a tourist, with the ability to work. One of those options is the working holiday program for young adults between 18 and 35. A working holiday lets you travel and explore another country, often for as long as a year, with the ability to take on seasonal jobs along the way. You aren’t limited to one specific job and don’t need a job lined up before traveling.

Although the U.S. isn’t listed as an eligible country for directly applying with IEC, U.S. citizens can participate as long as they have the support of a Recognized Organization. InterExchange collaborates with an R.O. in supporting U.S. citizens on the working holiday program.

The working holiday spots tend to fill up quickly each year, so contact us to get on the waitlist.

WWOOF

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) is a cool way to experience another country through the eyes of local hosts. Your hosts will offer room and board in exchange for help on the farm, generally around 3-4 hours per day. You can sign up for a small fee and gain access to listings of participating farmers to contact directly about volunteer opportunities. Be sure to learn about their accommodation situation and exactly what kind of help they’re seeking.
