Amendment to the Working Holiday Visa Program

Published by Whistler Chamber of Commerce on Jan 25, 2007

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled:

We, the undersigned, support changing the current Canadian Working Holiday Visa Program to extend the period of validation from one year to at least two years and to eliminate the current age restrictions.

The working holiday visa program is a reciprocal country to country exchange program which currently allows international visitors age 18-30 to work in Canada for a period of up to one year.

The proposed changes would greatly help offset the current and future labour shortages within the construction, tourism and hospitality industries that have had, and will continue to have, a serious impact on business operations and service levels in Whistler, BC and other Canadian resort communities.
