Travel Opportunities
If the following description sounds like you, you would probably be interested in this program. Katimavik will organize a variety of work project for you and your group in three host communities across Canada. You'll be expected to volunteer 35 hours a week, and in return you'll be learning, gaining experience, trying out different work environments, and making real contribution to the communities. What better way to figure out what kind of work you're good at and really like to do, and to help you make informed choices about your future.
If you are ready to discover another country and another part of Canada, learn about social justice and development issues, live and work with people from other cultures to acquire practical work experience, leadership, new languages and so much more AND gain credit for a post -secondary course or program? Then Canada world Youth may be just what you're looking for. Canada World Youth is a leader in the field of non-formal international education. For more than 30 years, we have built ties with international partners from around the globe. If you’re between the ages of 17 and 29, Canada World Youth offers you the opportunity to become an active player in community development in Canada and overseas.

The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people — regardless of nationality — desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding.
A Year away can't be measured in days alone. You'll only be gone for a school year, but the experience will enrich the rest of your life. Living in another country for a year is something most people never have the opportunity to do. You'll return with new knowledge, cultural understanding, maturity and lifelong friends for your host country.
If you are between 18 and 30 years of age and interested in traveling or working overseas, one of these programs can help you achieve your goal. Our International Youth Programs provide support for a variety of traveler's, both students and non-students. Through one of these programs, you can gain the skills, training and cultural experience that are sought after in Canada and the global marketplace.
Working holiday programs enable you to travel to one of the participating program countries and have the option of engaging in short-term work to supplement your travel expenses. This program is ideal for non-students who want to supplement their travel experiences with some temporary work in the country of choice.
Young Workers' Exchange Programs allow Canadian participants to gain professional work experience through overseas training. Participants have the opportunity to acquire new skills while gaining a better appreciation of the culture and values of their host country. Consider this program if you are a non-student whose primary goal is to gain work experience in a foreign culture.
Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP) SWAP is sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Students and administered by the Federation's travel company, Travel Cuts. Through this program, Canadian university and college students can work and travel in other countries. This is a good program for students who would like a working holiday program in a number of countries.
Co-op Education Programs: This initiative provides students with an opportunity to gain valuable experience related to their current academic field of study, and helps prepare them for a successful transition from school to the working world. If you qualify for a co-op education program at one of this program's participating schools, this is the work-abroad program for you.
