Canada
A placement in Canada gives you the perfect combination of earning money, improving your skiing and having a fantastic social life on your gap year!
You have probably heard the phrase ‘Work hard, play hard’ before. Well, we think this phrase must have come from Canada. All of the employers that we work with expect you to work hard. The standards set far exceed those in the UK. You will be required to be punctual, well presented and polite. By the same token, your employer will also want you to make the most of your days off work. One thing is for sure, you will find it hard to save money in Canada – there is so much to spend it on. At the end of the season you will be a fantastic location so why not take the time to explore a bit further afield.
You can choose between 3 resorts, all offering different opportunities. For full details click on one of the links below:

In order to be eligible for the Work Permit that we provide you must be aged between 18 and 30 and be confident of obtaining an unconditional UCAS place on a degree course following your results in August. The course must start at the end of your Gap Year. Graduates of fulltime degree course from a UK University are eligible if the placement takes place within a year of graduation. These are the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Department.
