Consulate General of Canada

WORKING HOLIDAY: Studies have shown that taking a structured gap year invariably serves to develop the individual into a more focused student with a better sense of purpose and engagement in the world around them. 90% of students who took a gap year returned to university within a year and it had a significant positive impact on students’ academic performance in university, with the strongest impact for students with grades on the lower end of the distribution. 

International Experience Canada (IEC) is a Government of Canada program that allows youth, aged 18-35*, from IEC’s over 30 partner countries/territories to work and travel in Canada for up to two years*. Whether it is to take a gap year, complete a co-op/internship abroad, or gain international work experience after graduation, IEC can help make these experiences happen*. For information on IEC, visit www.canada.ca/iec. For queries, please email whpcanada.sydney@international.gc.ca. *May vary depending on citizenship. 

STUDY: Canada’s college and university degrees are recognized worldwide. Tuition fees are among the lowest in English speaking countries. Plus, students may be able to stay and work in Canada upon graduation. The possibilities are endless! Learn about Canada’s education system, find schools and programs, or apply for scholarships. EduCanada is the official Government of Canada source about studying in Canada for international students and researchers: www.educanada.ca 

JOBS: Canada is hiring – tourism & hospitality, healthcare, construction, STEM, agriculture, and many more! Job Bank is Canada's one-stop job listing website.
