Hi Im about to be made redundant from my job and wondered what the chances were of working in Canada for anything up to a year. I'm 35 so is it just out of the question? I wanted the chance to spend more than 2 weeks in Canada and hope there was a visa I could apply for. I can get one for New Zealand but I'd much prefer Canada.

I dont want to just go on holiday as i'll end up spending my redunancy money.

What do you do for a living?

Its for age 35 and under, although the program is now closed I believe there is a waiting list...

I dont know anything about it... I just know a guy on my football team used them to get a 12 month work visa...

I think the under 35 thing is only if you are Irish, those from the UK using Bunac have to be below 31.

Ah never mind then... my mate IS Irish. so that makes sense.

I wonder why USIT is 35 and under and BUNAC is 31 and under?

Hi

It is reciprocity, Canada age is 31 as the UK age is 31 for WHP, the US, 35.
