Since Canada is a bilingual country that also values French, the level of English required is slightly lower than for other destinations.
In Toronto, some families speak a few words of French and enjoy hosting young Francophones – this allows their children to progress in both languages.
In Montreal, you truly get the best of both worlds: the city is bilingual, but our school is located in an English-speaking neighborhood, which fosters real progress in English. And since French remains very present in daily life, it's a reassuring destination if you're not yet completely comfortable with English.
Montreal is a bilingual (French/English), welcoming, and artistic city. It's an excellent entry point if you want to improve your English while maintaining a reassuring French-speaking environment. The atmosphere is more European, and the cost of living is generally lower than in Toronto.

Toronto is not only the most multicultural city in North America, but also one of the safest and most vibrant in Canada. Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, it's a modern, accessible, and predominantly English-speaking metropolis with a wealth of cultural and recreational activities – for example, you're just a few hours from Niagara Falls, New York City, or Canada's major national parks. It offers an ideal environment for learning English while discovering Canadian diversity during your Working Holiday Visa in Canada .

An au pair stay allows you to live with a Canadian family, taking care of the children and helping with some household chores. In exchange, the family provides accommodation, meals, and often a small allowance. Weekly working hours are reduced to allow time for classes or other employment.
Applicants generally need to be between 18 and 35 years old (depending on the visa type), have a good level of English or French, and enjoy working with children. Previous experience with children and references are often appreciated.
The duration depends on the visa and the needs of the family: in general, stays vary from 3 to 6 months, with the possibility of extension depending on the context.
To make things easier for you, our organization places you with a reliable host family, helps you prepare for your departure and provides support throughout your stay.
In all cases, it is recommended to thoroughly check references and sign a written agreement before leaving for a Working Holiday Visa in Canada from Belgium .
