Jobs in Whistler, 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!

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!

I spent my winter season working for whistler ski school support staff and loved it. The accommodation was basic but it doesn’t matter cause whistler is an amazing place not only for skiing but also socially.

My time as a ski instructor for children was nothing short of amazing, as it proved to be a transformative journey both personally and professionally. Guiding young enthusiasts through the thrilling world of skiing was not just a job but a joyous adventure filled with laughter, excitement, and boundless energy. Witnessing the sheer delight on the faces of children as they conquered the slopes and developed a love for the sport was incredibly rewarding. As I dedicated myself to imparting not only skiing skills but also fostering a sense of confidence and camaraderie among the kids, I found my own passion for teaching flourishing. The experience was further elevated by the fact that I successfully my CSIA level 2 during this time. Each day on the slopes was a testament to the power of shared enthusiasm and the profound impact that positive mentorship can have on young minds, making my time as a ski instructor an unforgettable chapter in my life.

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 :)

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.

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! ?

I just finished the entire process start to finish with InterExchange! I am a US citizen and they helped me get through the Working Holiday program for Canada. They were by far the most helpful, prompt, and knowledgeable organization I found. My primary contact was James Bridge. He did an outstanding job. He helped me navigate through getting this done with all the covid complications, job offer requirements, changes, etc. He was able to answer any and every question I sent his way. He is an amazing employee, and already got back to me right away. I would highly recommend this organization. The cost was 1/4 of everything else I saw. They are in it for the right reasons. James was one of the best employees I have ever had help me with anything. Cheers! Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks so much Tyler, It's been a pleasure to support you in your plans and I'm glad everything has worked out nicely. We look forward to hearing about your experience in Canada!

I chose to work and live in Moncton NB Canada. The help and guidance I received getting here was great. Everyone was so friendly and willing to help. Moncton is an awesome city. Not too big and not too small. It has everything you need and it’s constantly growing. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is nice! I still have almost a year left here and I’m excited to take advantage of everything there is here!

I had a great experience with InterExchange. Melissa in New York was so helpful and always picked up the phone when I had a question about my work visa, and the staff in Vancouver was so helpful and friendly when I arrived in Canada. I had the opportunity to manage a restaurant at the 5 star Post Hotel and Spa in the Canadian Rockies. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as beautiful as those lakes, rivers, and mountains. I feel so fortunate to have been able to spend a year hiking and camping on my days off. InterExchange was always there if I needed them for anything and was able to answer questions about extending my visa after my year had passed. Definitely a great experience and well worth the price to have InterExchange on my side.

This trip was so much fun. You meet all of the other "oysters" in the airport and travel together meaning you sort of arrive with a few friends. oyster organise transport up to the resort and help you get set up with everything you need (E.G. SIN numbers and a bank account) they also guarantee staff housing which is so important in Whistler as it is hard to come by on your own. we all lived on the same corridor and got along so well. your living with like-minded people all working similar hours to you so you're never far away from a friend that wants to go skiing. If your working in Blackcomb or Whistler you get to ski to and from work, (for creekside workers its a short bus ride away). you'll meet people from all around the world and won't want to leave. Of the 30 oysters that went out my year, the majority are planning on returning to use the second year of our visas

Thank you so much for leaving a review!

Lets start by saying, this was my first experience with the work and travel aboard program with InterExchange. The representatives were super helpful and guided me throughout the process. There were times when I would call to find out about when my work permit would arrive and they never hesitated in answering my questions multiple times. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Happy to hear that all went smoothly and you found the program to be helpful. Thank you for the review Rishika, and best of luck! ~James from InterExchange

My stay here in Quebec has been the most interesting thing to happen so far in my life. Being immersed into a Francophone community has been very challenging, but rewarding at the same time. My level of French has improved little by little, and the people here are so patient with whatever level of French you speak, as long as your TRY to speak with them. I would have to say that would be the number one key to having fun and getting where you want to go here. Try to speak French, even if you feel vulnerable, stupid, or afraid, and good things will happen. I promise. The food is another thing here. Croissants, baguettes, chocolate, strawberries from Ile d`Orleans and yes the infamous almighty... Poutine. Food is pretty fantastic here, and I highly suggest going to as many markets as possible for the best vegetables and fruit. As for the Interexchange program, I would highly suggest anyone wanting to work/travel in Canada to do your business with them. Very professional and extremely fast at replying to emails! Every time I had any questions, they were attended to within the hour. Very impressed with the overall punctuality and friendliness.

Thanks Jesse! We're glad you found the support to be punctual and effective. That's what we're going for. Let us know if we can help at all moving forward!! ~James from InterExchange

Spending some time living and working in a different country has been something I've always been interested in. However, as you may know, it's not as simple as choosing a place to go and packing your bags. You need approval to work in a foreign country and InterExchange makes the whole process quick and painless. The Working Holiday Visa program InterExchange is connected with through the Canadian government is ideal for those young travelers looking to experience something new and different. My experience so far has been fantastic connecting with other travelers and experiencing life in Canada. The hosting organization coordinates many social events to connect with others on the same program and you'll be sure to make connections with those from all over the world with a similar interest in world travel. These events are generally more tailored towards Toronto and Vancouver, however, ad-hoc events in other areas across Canada do occur. I was able to secure a job in my professional field within the first month. It's an opportunity that will greatly support my career goals and diversify my resume with international experience working not only in Canada but also collaborating with our global offices elsewhere across the world. Toronto is where I'm employed and the city has many economical ties globally. It's relatively expensive to live in if you want to be centralized so I chose to answer the cost of living question as n/a as I don't believe Toronto represents rent costs you'll see across the rest of Canada. The staff at InterExchange themselves are very friendly and quick at responding to any questions or problems you may run into along the way.
