    • 🕒 Minimum stay: 6 months, or 3 months in summer (June-August or July-September)

    👤Profile

    • Minimum age 18, maximum age 30 or 35 in certain cases (contact us)

    • Ideally, you have some initial student job experience

    • You are motivated, hardworking and versatile.

    First and foremost, it's essential to understand the context of the job market in Canada. Unlike in Australia and New Zealand, finding employment is often more difficult , especially in the short term. The recruitment process often begins well in advance. While it's possible to find a last-minute job just before the season, the main challenge often lies in finding accommodation.

    It is with this in mind that we have developed our guaranteed mountain job offer, in order to maximize your chances of landing a job in your dream location without risking missing crucial deadlines in the process.

    As a French speaker, you have a significant advantage in the eyes of employers . Given that the country is bilingual, your fluency in French will be highly valued.
