Re: Looking to work in nova scotia
if you're good at it, according to my son who is a server in a bar/restaurant with patio in downtown Toronto, that between April 1 - September 1 its possible on average wages with tips 35 hrs/wk to earn $1500/wk. After the tourists are gone & it gets cooler its down to around $500/wk. Picks up Christmas time, then it goes dead again till spring

Re: Looking to work in nova scotia
Hi thanks for all the replies, Iv'e had a look into the flights and think that Toronto is a good bet, flight times aren't that much different from nova Scotia and a lot more frequent too. A working holiday does seem to be the best bet, and Ill just have to wait for 2016 window to open and hope I get a place. In the meantime though, I'm off work in January for two weeks and would consider getting a flight out to Toronto too see some of the sights. I hope January is still a good time to visit even though it will be cold no doubt. I'll be travelling alone so hopefully that wont be a problem, as in chatting to people and getting around. And not2old I have considered Australia but the working holiday visa prices are a lot more than what they are for Canada, and also you need more proof of funds than what you do in Canada too.
But Ontario is another province where you wouldn't be able to get PR unless you're in a 'skilled' job (Levels A, O or B), so it's a place to go for a couple of years of fun, but if you're thinking long term then you'd be better off heading somewhere else.
Good luck.

I spotted this the other day. The requirements are low, I don't mean that in a condescending type of way, but I mean your age and potentially working experience aligns with these retail jobs which are being advertised to attract people from the UK.
