holiday job
 
hi, Iam a british student in USA . I want to work for my summer May- August in Canada as my aunt lives there and don't have to pay for accommodation. Is it possible to do that?

Youll need a working holiday visa


Bunac, or SWAP or something I think it is down there?

But who knows what visa he had (if any), or if they got a work permit for him (unlikely in the current economic climate unless you have distinct skills)


Legally if you are not canadian, then you need a visa of some kind to work here.

also the OP needs a SIN number and can't get one without a Visa. A little confused on how someone can get a job without the two unless its a backhander. Which I wouldn't advise anyone to risk doing that.
