Jobs in North America

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.

I had the best experience of my life in the Work and Travel USA program. I recommend to anyone this great experience !! Worked at a ski Resort with Alliance Abroad and the support was great ! 100% recommend!

If you want to grow professionally, but also personally, this is the place to go! You'll experience magic in the woods with children -- creating experiences that I've never seen anywhere else. You will work very hard, but learn a ton too. If you love kids, I really recommend Augusta!

Hola, estuve en haiti por 5años, fue un experiencia muy buena muy nutritiva de muchos conocimientos y aprendizajes, muchas cosas nuevas, el idioma lo aprendí en 6 meses, su gente muy calidad, volvería a estar con ellos.

When I first went to Camp Augusta as a counselor at 22 years old, I had already worked at three other summer camps and traveled abroad to two other countries. I was anticipating it to be a familiar run-of-the-mill summer camp, having a good time, and then moving on with my life. Within a month of being there, I knew that this place was different. The games, the people, the activities, the opportunities for growth, the connection with nature, the mission, and the philosophies. It seemed like every day was full of challenges, but also full of so much meaning and reward. I knew that although it was the hardest job I had ever had, I had grown so much in my first summer and needed to come back. Since then, I have returned to many summers and many roles in Augusta. No two summers are the same. Each has its own challenges and growth that have been foundational for my growth at and with Augusta. Despite the hard work and long hours, I look back with gratitude at the impact that Augusta has had on my life personally and my relationships - in Augusta and outside. It's a life changing place for all who tread on those woodchips. :)

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

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.

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.

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

Honestly speaking, I've never been abroad or anywhere outside South Africa, and that's my goal,to explore the world,to be adventurous and grow in learning more about the world and people from different parts of the world.

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 :)
