Gap Year Canada

Overview

Canada has some of the most awe inspiring scenery in the world. From towering snow capped peaks to raging rivers and mirror like lakes. Experience the wildlife and outdoor pursuits then visit Toronto for a taste of city life.

Visas

There are two visas available for Canada:

Canada Visitor Visa - as a British citizen you will be given a 90 day visitor visa on entry to Canada. You must provide a return flight ticket and evidence you have funds to survive!

Bunac Working Holiday Visa - Canada also has a 12 month Working Holiday visa allowing you to work as well as travel around. This visa is available to 18-35 year olds and is exclusive to an organisation called Bunac. For more details click here.

Flights

Depending on where you want to fly into flights to Canada cost around £300-500. Main destinations are Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

Health and Safety

Canada is a much safer destination than its neighbour America. No additional vaccinations are needed and danger is more related to wild animals invading your campground! Mosquitoes and ticks can be a problem so get a good quality insect repellent.

Activities

  • See bears in the wild
  • Go on the transcenic railway
  • try skiiing and snowboarding
  • Watch an ice hockey game
