Canadian working holiday

[Blinger]

My friend left the UK in November to do a year working/holiday in Canada. He took with him £2000 and had a prearranged job as a dishwasher for $10p/h. He said it's amazing and definitely affordable as long as you're not too extravagant with your money.

Ha. That's awesome. At the moment I have something like 5.5GBP saved up in 6 months or so, but by the time i want to leave I'll have maybe $18000 aussie bucks. How did he hook a job up so early? Any idea?

I've just messaged him to find out the website he used but this one looks pretty good http://www.bunac.org/uk/work-abroad/work-canada
I'll post the site whenever he replies. If you save up that much then you would have no problem (by the sounds of it) working/living there for a year.

Ah okay, so he went through a company. Hmm, I'll have to suss more options out. I'm thinking if I try with the company who I did my apprenticeship through it should be easier, I know all that stuff off by heart.
@OldLoveSong;, you're Canadian, what is the job market like at the moment? Is it fairly easy or fairly difficult to find jobs?

most of my mates rocked up and found a job on the ground. they were paid a lot more and their hours significantly better... only thing is you'd have to pay for your lift pass and have the balls to do it. gl, i've been pretty tempted to do it but landed a decent job here so gonna stick that out for a bit. might give hotham or perisher a whirl one day.
