Canadian working holiday

[Blinger]

Hello girls and boys.
Just curious to know, has anyone/does anyone have a job in Canada? What is the market like there at the moment? I.e. is there much in demand or is it as dead as road kill?
Is it difficult to live over there for a year? Bored of Australia, not a lot going on here that I haven't done before and want to spruce my life up a bit.

Oh come to Canada! It's a nice place. Working, depending on where you're living. There's jobs everywhere; you just have to go looking for it.

Be prepared for the cold though. Even in the summer it only gets around 30 degree Celsius on some days.

Mmm. I'm thinking Vancouver, simply because it seems to be the biggest english speaking area which (I would think) means more jobs? Also I figured that hey Cobs there so I can try there first since I did my apprenticeship at the Australian version (which is the head company)..

Any tips? How much $$$ would you recommend saving up before a holiday there? Whoa!

This post is so confusing. 30 Celsius in summer is hot

I guess that's what I get for living in the UK

I was there during the "heatwave" last year. A record what, 7 days touching 30 degrees celcius in London? Killer! And Melbourne this years heatwave:
The city has recorded four consecutive days over 40 degrees, with overnight temperatures dropping below 25 just once since Tuesday.

Yup, Ithink the hottest UK temperature ever in one place for just a fraction of the day was 38, but really the country only gets 30+ every couple of years or so.

omg Canada! I really want to go there as well as Alaska. @Blinger; let me know how you get on as I could see myself going out there on a working VISA some day

I live in Canada and go to school there. I don't work here because it's too complicated come tax time. I love it here, everyone is so nice. I choose NS over NJ any day!

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.
