Program description:
ELS has three different options for students who would like to do Study & Work in Canada.
The option that is best for you will depend on your current career focus and the amount of time you can devote to the Study & Work Program.
In all cases, the Work placement portion of the program cannot be longer than the Study portion.
All of our Study & Work Programs include the following services: resume re-write, interview preparation, visa help, ongoing monitoring & support throughout your placement.
Our Study & Work Program is available to students from outside Canada who have a Working Holiday, Youth Mobility or International Experience Canada Visa. If you do not qualify for any of these visas, you must come to ELS with a Study Permit. ELS will assist you with the application for the required Work Permit after your arrival.
There is a one-time Work Placement Fee of CAD$ 1200 for all programs, regardless of duration.
