Hospitality Jobs in Canada

The IEC Working Holidays process can be daunting when you are first researching it. Ashley Ragus and the rest of the team at InterExchange made the whole process so seamless and easy to understand, from start to finish. Ashley is so supportive, kind, and extremely communicative. We met with her a number of times and she and the rest of the team guided us through every step of the process so we never felt confused. The instructions that InterExchange provided were super clear and easy to follow. Deadlines and triple-checking everything in your application is super important. It's also important to take all of pre-border crossing prep work seriously, and do it right – you will thank yourself later. It's been a dream of ours for a long time to live and work in Canada, and it feels surreal to be experiencing that now - thanks to InterExchange. I highly recommend InterExchange – 10/10 experience. Thank you Ashley and team!

I went to Panorama Mountain Resort in BC Canada and had an exciting time meeting new people, snowboarding and enjoying life. The given accommodation was very nice and also a good way to meet some new people.

My journey through the Rocky Mountains has been absolutely unforgettable. Being surrounded by towering peaks, endless forests, and fresh mountain air every single day feels unreal. The landscapes are breathtaking and constantly remind me how powerful and beautiful nature can be. Working at a ski resort makes the experience even better. I spend my days in the mountains, meet people from all over the world, and enjoy a job that never feels boring. The mix of outdoor work, great teamwork, and unforgettable ski days has made this adventure one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life.

When I first looked into acquiring a IEC Working Holiday visa I as admittedly a little overwhelmed by what seemed like an overload of information and documentation that would be required from me in order to successfully immigrate in Canada. From the very first time we spoke, Ashley Ragus made what felt like a very daunting process at the start feel incredibly seamless and simple by the end. I am so appreciative for her support along the way, and I am looking forward to working with her again when I reapply for 2027. Thanks for everything Ashley, you rock!

My time here in Canada is wonderful, I got interviewed by Internex Pacific to work in Hospitality at a Ski Resort, so I always meet new people. As a Restaurantspecialist with experience on a cruiseship, I already saw much of the world, but I can for sure say Canada is one of my favourite places also because of the people living here. Living here in Invermere at a Lakehouse is awesome, because the owner are really friendly and we have much space around the house.

The company explained to me very well all proces and facilities. You have great support. Since I arrived in to the hotel, they gave to me a nice welcome. I met a lot of people who's some of them are really good friends. I enjoy the summer hiking and the winter sking. 100% recomended

EA thought of everything! From help with the visa process, with endless communication at all hours of the day, to social networking in the first few days of arriving. The reps are amazing and have the expertise and experience to guide and help you. If you want a change or routine and scenery, then this is the adventure for you.

Hey Miles, we're thrilled to hear that your experience with EA was seamless and that we were able to assist you every step of the way. We take pride in providing communication and support so you can get the most out of your adventures. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! -The EA Team

I travelled to Canada with EA to work in Vancouver as a snowboard instructor in 2019. They were so helpful and brilliant with assisting organisation. Accommodation was good as everyone was together in a block of apartments so it created a great sense of community. We received really good training prior to the exams required to become an instructor, and everyone on the mountain was so accepting and helpful and kind! I would definitely recommend doing this if you’re even vaguely thinking about it, and I’d absolutely love to do it again if I had the time!

Dear Islay, your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your encouragement for other aspiring instructors. Should you ever find the time for another adventure, we'd be thrilled to have you back! Thank you for being a part of the EA community. -The EA Team

Ashley has been such a huge help in guiding me through the work visa application process. the process can be a bit confusing and complicated and im so glad i had her support. she was so kind and patient and made the whole procedure so much less stressful! im very grateful for her assistance and highly recommend her to others in the InterExchange program if you're looking for help with the work visa application process! :)

I had a fantastic experience! All of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The whole team made an overwhelming process very smooth and manageable. The helpful team was absolutely the highlight of the program for sure. I went through the process to live and work in Canada from the United States. I was able to move to a town that I had already been to and had connections in the community. I didn't utilize any of the housing resources but it was nice to know that it was an option.I would highly recommend!

Libby and James at Interexchange have made the whole process as smooth and clear as possible. They answer emails quickly and take the time to explain what needs to be done for the applications for work holiday and what happens afterwards. I appreciate their help so much!

Thank you so much Jen! We are so glad to support your travels.

My experience with Global Work and Travel was fantastic, it was very smooth running and I had a great coordinator helping me every step up along the way. Eimear was always patient, friendly and very knowledgeable in her field of work and I could see she clearly had a passion for her job which made it a lot less stressful for me also. Overall I would 100% recommend using this agency and I also would definitely go back to using them again in the future :)

''Sooo glad I opted to go with Global Work & Travel. They help you every step of the way, any problems I had they were just an email away. I can't Thank Eimear (travel coordinator) enough for her help and support. As this was my first time traveling solo, I didn't feel alone when it came to the important stuff like the paperwork,visa and navigating the flight plan. They provided all the information I needed and even broke it down for me, if I was finding it hard to digest. When it came to it I was sent lots of options of places to apply for and managed to get a job at my 1st choice. So I'm doing a 6 month working holiday in Canada and working at Sunshine Village ski'' We also had orientation today and asked three of the travelers to leave a review on your link so fingers crossed they come through :)

Even before graduating High-School in the summer of 2022 I knew I wanted to spend the Winter working in Canada. I thoroughly searched the internet and came across a german organisation that is partnering with Internex Pacific. I started planning with Internex and before I knew, I was deep inside the Rocky Mountains serving people drinks and Food while always being able to watch people Ski and also beig able to Ski whenever I am available. The communication with Internex was really easy and always helpful whenever I had questions. Internex hepled me to get settled with a job and accomodation. Through this accomodation and because we were able to contact people who chose Internex as well I was able to find a girl who was going to the same resort and who was catching the same flights as me. Having Roommates also helped getting in touch with people, so I am really greatful I got set up with accomodation as well. Working in such a beautiful place was a blessing and I am thankful for the easy communication Internex offered. I would choose to travel with Internex again!

Great, orientation was very informative, Betty was very friendly and helpful Mark was also fantastic via email, phone and video call Housing - 5/5, my accommodation is nicer than I've had working abroad previously Support - 5/5 for Mark, he's always been very friendly and helpful! 4/5 overall - my only negative experience was with someone in the London office Fun - 4/5, pretty good! Just a little difficult to go anywhere outside of Jasper, as there isn't any public transport and I don't have a car Value - 4/5, I'm a bit older and I've worked overseas previously, this is a great extension to that ? Safety - 5/5, I feel very safe Overall - 4.5/5 - Canada is wonderful, Mark was great!

Global has been absolutely terrific making the move overseas to Canada smooth and exciting. Both Brianna and Mark are dead set legends and have been so helpful in making every part of the process so much fun! 10/10 recommend!!!! Mark and Global have been nothing but AMAZING during my working holiday so far. My experience with my current job and staff accommodation has been very challenging however that is no reflection on Mark.

The service received today was extremely informationable and was an eye opener on what Canada has to offer. Mark my travel coordinator has been extremely helpful, but our orientation organiser Tiare has been extremely helpful and welcoming and has made everyone feel at ease. Mark is a superb coordinator and has helped myself and my travelling companion Elicia really well, on our arrival in Canada he made us feel very welcome and at ease, he showed us many things to do and made sure we got settled in. And throughout the months he has remained in contact with support and information about other available job opportunities around Canada, so i would just love to say how much i appreciate him as a coordinator and as a man, he is lovely and caring.

My time here in Canada started in mid-October 2022 :) But I was glad that I already knew at that point that I was going to Banff and that I could work at Sunshine Village in the rentals. So I was able to take care of where my year abroad was going from home, which made everything much easier I love skiing and at that point I really wanted to improve my English skills, so what could be better than a stay abroad in the Rockies, where I have skiing as a hobby and can still work in rentals at the same time. ? In addition, the nature here in Banff is incredibly beautiful and definitely recommended. In my free time I love of course skiing, ice skating in lake Louise or just walking in the beautiful nature. Banff also offers many wonderful restaurants and pubs where you can meet up with friends in the evening. I'm glad I chose internex and can have such a great time in Banff as a result.

I’m from Australia & moved to Canada with Global a year ago. It has honestly been everything I’ve wanted & more. I’m here working in one of the most beautiful towns in the world ‘Banff’ and travelling around whenever I want. Global was amazing every step of the way. They provided with me so many options & made the process so easy & enjoyable. I cannot recommend doing a working holiday enough, it allows you to properly experience the country, events, seasons & lifestyle. Not to mention makes it so much easier to travel around. I just got back from Hawaii a day ago! (Would recommend ?) If you are wanting to experience something new & explore the world, then I would encourage you to do the working holiday as the risk are taken out because Global helps you and has your back throughout the entire experience. Cannot recommend the opportunity Global provides! The question is, would you regret doing it, or not doing it? ? Safe Travels! ?

When I graduated college in Belgium in June 2022 I knew that I wanted to go out and explore more. Since I had done my internship in Vancouver from February - June 2022 (also with Internex) I already had had a small taste of the Canadian life and I really enjoyed it. That's why I decided to come back on a working holiday visa, but I had no clue where I wanted to work. The only thing that I knew for sure was that I wanted to live close to Vancouver to keep in touch with my old friends. After reconnecting with Internex, they suggested me I could do a job in a ski-resort. I had zero experience in skiing or boarding so I was a bit sceptical at first, but I decided to just go for it. There were multiple resorts I could choose, but there was one resort in particular that immediately caught my attention. It was a smaller resort, close to Vancouver and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made in my life! I worked as a lift operator and had the chance to work with amazing people in an amazing environment and I could ski multiple days a week. I am really glad I made this decision and would recommend everyone to do the same!
