Working Holiday in Canada - Winter 27-28

Intro
Working a winter ski season in a Canadian resort just has to rate as one of, if not the best 6 months you will ever experience in your life. Guaranteed!

We offer jobs in Canadian resorts in Lake Louise, Silver Star, Sunshine Village, Nakiska, Whistler, Jasper and Banff during the entire winter ski season. There are over 40 different types of work including ticket seller, lift operator, snowmaker, cashier, cook, waiter, housekeeping, parking assistant, dishwasher, night security etc.
It goes without saying that Canada is renowned around the world for its unforgettable winter seasons. Deep powder, thriving nightlife, untracked terrain and breathtaking scenery are what make it so special. Whether you’re taking the plunge alone or with a group of mates our Powder Package is your one-stop service to the most memorable experience of your life.

Our world class ski resort partners include the likes of Lake Louise, Silver Star, Sunshine Village, Nakiska, Banff, Whistler and Jasper. With tens of thousands of youths flocking to Canada from all over the world to partake in a ski season it is advisable to secure employment before you leave - not only to save yourself from disappointment but to save yourself a small fortune. Sun Peaks is Canada's second largest ski area famous for the light, dry powder that falls in the interior of British Colombia.

We have employment opportunities in a variety of departments including retail, rentals, ski school, central reservations, lift/base operations and food and beverage to name a few. All positions provide full training and offer great benefits including housing, competitive wages, staff discounts, free lift passes and invitations to countless social events and parties.

Our winter working holiday program is your one stop service to the most authentic Canadian working holiday experience. If you stay for one season or end up staying for the full duration of your visa, we have you covered! Our Canadian Powder package will breeze you through your confusing visa application process, help you to ace your job interview with expert guidance and valuable tips, and effortlessly manage every aspect of your departure and arrival processes.

How do I get to my resort town from Vancouver?
This depends on where you're working for the season. Once you've received your confirmed job offer, we'll provide detailed guidance on the best way to travel to your resort town in time for your start date.

In the meantime, here's a general guide to the most common transport options:
Whistler: Direct bus from Vancouver to Whistler (approximately 1 hour 45 minutes).
SilverStar: Bus from Vancouver to Vernon (approximately 7hours), followed by a taxi (25 minutes) to SilverStar. Alternatively, fly to Kelowna (50 minutes) and arrange a shuttle transfer to SilverStar (1 hour 15 minutes)
Lake Louise: Fly from Vancouver to Calgary (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes), followed by a bus to Lake Louise (approximately 3.5 hours). Alternatively, take a bus from Vancouver to Lake Louise (approximately 11–12.5 hours).
Banff: Fly from Vancouver to Calgary (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes), followed by a bus to Banff (approximately 2 hours). Alternatively, take a bus from Vancouver to Banff (approximately 12–13 hours).
Jasper / Marmot Basin: Fly from Vancouver to Edmonton (approximately 1.5 hours), followed by a transfer to Jasper (approximately 4 hours) or overnight sleeper train from Vancouver to Jasper (19 hours)
Nakiska: Fly from Vancouver to Calgary, then take a bus to Canmore, where Nakiska offers staff pickups (you'll need to arrive in Canmore before 12:20 PM). Alternatively, you can arrange a shuttle transfer from Calgary to Nakiska.
Please note: All journey times are approximate and may vary depending on schedules, weather, snow and road conditions. We'll provide more detailed transport information with your confirmed job offer.

PLEASE NOTE:
The immigration process takes place at the first port of entry in Canada. If your customer has a connecting flight it is important that they have enough time between connecting flights to complete this proces - at least three hours is recommended. Processing time depends on how busy the airport is and how many others are also applying for work permits. Sometimes it’s quick and you can go straight through, but other times it can take much longer.

With only a 2-hour connection, any flight delay could make things very tight.

Please note the Government of Canada requires you to give your biometrics (fingerprints and photo) as part of the visa application process, this needs to be done in person at your nearest Canadian embassy.

Veelgestelde vragen

Alle details die je moet weten voordat je tours en activiteiten online boekt.

Niet altijd. We moeten eerst de beschikbaarheid bij de leverancier bevestigen. Zodra dat geregeld is, ontvang je een boekingsbevestiging van KILROY.

De meeste boekingen worden binnen enkele werkdagen bevestigd. Sommige activiteiten kunnen langer duren, afhankelijk van de leverancier en vertrekdatum.

Als de gevraagde vertrekdatum niet beschikbaar is, helpen we je met het vinden van een alternatieve datum, een vergelijkbare ervaring of we zorgen voor een terugbetaling.

Een reisspecialist van je lokale KILROY-kantoor is jouw contactpersoon en helpt je met de boeking indien nodig.

Zeker! Veel reizigers beginnen met een activiteit en voegen later andere reisplannen toe. Onze adviseurs helpen je graag om er een complete reis van te maken.

Je betaalt de activiteit of tour volledig tijdens het online afrekenen. De bijdrage van € 2 voor het Calamiteitenfonds en € 5 voor het RGF betaal je achteraf. Zodra je betaling binnen is, nemen we contact op met de leverancier en starten we de verwerking van je boeking.

Als een leverancier een activiteit annuleert, zoeken we samen naar een passend alternatief. Als dat niet lukt, heb je recht op een terugbetaling volgens onze voorwaarden.

Voor elke boeking betaal je € 2 bijdrage aan het Calamiteitenfonds en € 5 aan het RGF (Reisgarantiefonds). Hiermee ben je beschermd bij calamiteiten en financiële problemen, zoals een eventueel faillissement van de reisorganisatie.
