Solutions for people wishing to obtain a second working holiday visa for Canada
For Belgian citizens, obtaining a Working Holiday Visa (WHV) for Canada is subject to specific restrictions: an age limit of 30 and only one application allowed . But even if you are over the age limit or have already held a WHV in the past, solutions exist to make your Canadian dream a reality.
Why do Belgians encounter obstacles in obtaining a Working Holiday Visa?
The Canadian Working Holiday Visa is very attractive to young Belgians, but its eligibility requirements are strict:
- An age limit of 30 prevents older candidates from accessing it – 35 for the French
- Only one participation is allowed, which excludes those who have already benefited from the program – the French get two years of PVT.
- There is a limited quota for obtaining the visa
These rules leave many motivated candidates in a bind, but alternatives are available through our partners recognized by the Canadian government.
What are the alternatives for obtaining a visa?
If you are not eligible for the Canadian Working Holiday Visa , we can still help you obtain a visa through a specific program and our partners. You have two options:
- Paying an additional visa of 3700 CAD : This specific visa allows you to bypass restrictions and go to Canada with a temporary work permit.
- Take three months of English courses at a partner school : This program combines language learning and obtaining a visa, while facilitating your integration on site.

After an au pair stay in the Netherlands, a year in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa , and a trip to Southeast Asia, I continued my desire to explore the world by studying in Scotland. My studies were punctuated by university exchanges in Mexico and Italy, as well as numerous trips throughout Europe. Graduating in the midst of the pandemic, I worked for an NGO before spending eight months in Canada and Latin America. Today, I offer my experience to you at Languages & Travel, with particular expertise in Australia, Latin America, Italy, and Scotland.
