Default working holiday visa

hello everyone.

first time poster here. i literally just joined this forum approx 5 mins ago.

so here goes...

i'm looking for advice on how to apply for a working holiday visa to canada, BC to be exact. i've been on various immigration websites and so on but i cant seem to find the exact application form that i require. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks. also has anyone on here currently or have previous been accepted for this type of visa? is it hard to obtain etc...?

i hope to hear from someone soon.

Otherwise just google Bunac and that will get you going.

thank you. i figure that a travelling visa is my only option to make me eligible to get to canada. my girlfriend is a canadian citizen and i do not qualify as a skilled worker to canada, so my only hope is gaining a travelling visa. to see what would be like for us in canada.

You could just visit of course....but would not be able to work.
If its a serious long term relationship you could just cut out that step and have her sponsor you for Permanent Residence... Bunac is popular, places go very fast.

Why do you assume that? There are over 50 routes to a Canadian visa and Skilled Worker is only one of those.

May be worth checking to see if you're eligible for any other route, or Bunac is a great option for a year.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
