Pays you

Amount varies

SWAP Working Holidays route: program fee approx. CAD $500–800. Canadian minimum wage varies by province (CAD $17–20/hr). Ski resort / hospitality / farm work CAD $2,500–4,500/mo. Net positive over 12-month stay.

Canada's working holiday program requires a Youth Mobility Agreement (YMA) with Canada. The United States does NOT have a YMA with Canada, so US citizens are NOT eligible for the IEC Working Holiday permit through the standard route. EXCEPTION: SWAP Working Holidays (a Recognized Organization) lists US citizens as eligible — this is the only documented pathway.
