#1 Research Your Dream Destination
Narrow down your top 5 towns or resorts where you'd love to live.
#2 Apply to Resorts
Apply to ski resorts and related companies for jobs like lift operator, rentals, day care, bar tending across all 5 destinations. Big companies hire early, so prioritise them.
#3 Scope out Local Businesses
Start with your favourite destination, map out local businesses like hotels, gyms, and pubs. Then move to the next potential spot.
#4 Apply to Smaller Businesses
Visit their websites, hit up their careers sections, and apply with your resume, CV, and a friendly photo. Drop a follow-up email expressing your interest in working from Nov to May.
#5 Be Patient and Persistent
Wait a couple of weeks for responses. Follow up if needed—some smaller places hire closer to the season.
#6 Plan a Pre-Job Trip
If you're last-minute, take a short holiday in Canada, like a whirlwind tour from Whistler to Banff and Jasper. Hand-deliver resumes and chat up managers. It works—ask my pals who snagged jobs in a week!
💼 Hospitality, retail, and trades are hot jobs in Canada.
🌍 A Working Holiday Visa is your golden ticket.
