Hi guys, so around October I'll be heading to Canada on a working travel visa. I have a degree but I'm not looking to get stuck into a full time job (not that I'm expecting to walk into one). So my first question is what sort of jobs would suit me best based on the Canadian way of living? Secondly I will be hoping to visit/stay in 2/3 places during my time, I'm initially looking at Calgary/Vancouver Island during the colder months and then come summer venture up to Whitehorse and see the Yukon. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I can’t speak for Vancouver. But calgary at that time is taking on a lot of Christmas staff in retail & hospitality- so a LOT of casual hours that may suit you. A lot of the mountain hotels have live-in staff and require a lot of roles to be filled over the winter- those roles attract a lot of people on working holiday visas. But then those roles are more likely to be full-time and would limit exploring potential.
I’m an assistant manager at a Lush store in the NW of Calgary and in October we’re coming to the end of our Christmas recruitment but I know the majority of other stores are just beginning. They ALL have signs up in the windows.
Whitehorse is cool- it’s a really artsy town (I say town because it’s smaaall) it definitely feels like a town.
I spend a fair bit of time up there- the Yukon has a tiny population and the majority of the jobs are within the trades- to keep the province ticking over. Within Whitehorse, again you’d probably be looking at retail/hospitality with it being for short term stuff.
There’s a fairly young population in Whitehorse so may be a lot of competition for even part time/casual jobs. I don’t actually recall having seen any hiring signs up out of all the times I’ve been there.
Yukon is definitely worth a visit though. - you’re going to need a car.
Good luck!
