What is a Working Holiday Visa (WHV)?

• A Working Holiday Visa is an agreement between Canada and another country that allows Canadian citizens to go to that country to work and travel. In turn, Canada allows citizens of that country to work and travel in Canada.
• Most of these agreements are for the period of one year and often have an age limitation (generally 18-30).
• Japan and France are popular countries for Canadians to teach English on the WHV.
