Default Finding work in Toronto on WHV

im considering moving to canada on a working holiday visa and wandering how easy it is to find work. most of my job experience is in admin roles but im not fussy about what work i do

how much money would you recommend taking if wanting to work straight away?

thanks

Admin work is pretty easy to find via agencys www.altishr.com is a great one to try they are located right in the heart of downtown.

As for money id bring enough to live for the first month without a job thats a worst case scenario if you truly dont care what you do. as for how much that depends on where your going to live, what you expect to be doing etc..... i mean if you are going to find a flat share and never go out you wiont need much. but if your going to get your own place and set up with furniture etc you might need a bit more. Im an office manager earning industry standard and have my own apartment im single,etc and i get by on about $2700 a month after tax.

As an admin with good experience should be earning between $15 - $20 per hour though so dont undersell yourself
