24 year old London guy - working in Canada - Visa options?
Hi there, I'm 24 and a British passport holder - I was really keen on a move to USA but that's kind of been stumped now because getting a H1-BVisa seems to be a bitch and I have to wait 1 year till it opens again!
I have family in Toronto so I know I could make that a home away from home.
I've heard of the 1 year BUNAC Visa however I am no longer a student and the normal version of that is closed I think now until Jan 2009?
What other visas are there to work in Canada? Or other visas I could get into Canada in which I could then work for...even if it is a short period as in my field - Graphic design I am pretty sure I could get any company to extend my contract coz I'm that good!

Also u can wait for 4 months and apply for the BUNAC one and get into Canada earliest End of FEB 09 and see how it goes.
good luck

Yep I have family in Toronto so I've asked them to see if they can see anything in terms of a job for me in Toronto
Is there a jobsite specialized for the media industry? Web/Graphic design?

Good luck
